Borderlands 2 Mechromancer Tips

Shortly after the release of Borderlands 2, a fifth playable character was released. That character was Gaige the Mechromancer. Her special ability is to summon a Deathtrap, a flying robot pet that take out Gaiges her opponents. Her three talent trees are Best Friends Forever, Little Big Trouble, and Ordered Chaos.

Best Friends Forever is probably the most popular skill tree to take for Gaige and was designed to make life a little easier for the player. With skills like Take Close Enough, that allows bullets to ricochet off just about anything and automatically start heading towards enemies, making the game a bit more forgiving.

Little Big Trouble is more about giving added shock damage. Skills like One Two Boom Deathtrap fires off a giant electric orb, once you shoot it (which can be a problem) it causes a major electrical explosion can take out large groups of enemies quickly.  The last skill in the tree, Make it Sparkle, lets you shoot Deathtrap with an elemental weapon, giving that element to Deathtrap also can make dealing with large enemies a whole lot easier.

Ordered Chaos is probably the most complicated tree in the entire freakin game. A really simplified version of this tree is you earn Anarchy stacks each time you kill or completely drain and reload an ammo clip. The more stacks the more damage you do but you loose accuracy. The other side of the coin however is Discord. Discord is activated by reloading before you completely drain a clip. The Discord then drains your Anarchy stacks giving your health regeneration, accuracy bonus. To stop the drain of Anarchy just reload before you need to again and it will stop. The secret is to work out the push and pull of the two trees to maximize damage.  All this can get rather complicated and frustrating and is more recommended for experienced players.

Gaige is the first character I beat Borderlands 2 with and I would recommend her to anybody. I used the Little Big Trouble skill  tree and found that sitting back with a good sniper rifle and a shotgun worked really well.  It was easy to take out major villains by letting Deathtrap loose and just sitting back picking off anybody that that made it around him.

Another Day Another Bounty 10.24.13

Image
That's right it's a new day and another bounty has been released for all of us hunters in the Borderlands 2 Loot Hunt. Today's bounty is DJ Tanner , he can be found in Magnys Lighthouse . This hunt is another that is in the Captain Scarlett DLC. He should drop the " Tidal Wave " that can be used for the community bounty. Speaking of the community bounty, today's community bounty is Sand Worm Queens . You may remember fighting one while doing the My life for a sand sandskiff mission  early on in the DLC. A Sand Worm Queen is what leaps out of the sand and swallows Lionel's engine capacitor. I found the best place to find the Sand Worm Queen in Wurmwater just north of the Rustyard exit in a crater. You actually have to hope out of your skiff for them to spawn and they don't always spawn. I have a picture of the location down below.

Final Fantasy XIV The Road to Ninja

That's right a the road to being a ninja, because we all know nothing beats a ninja. So how do you become a ninja? First: You have to have a level 30 rogue, and a level 15 Pugilist. Second: You need to be done with the rogue story quest with the three treasures.( Found that out last night the hard way) Third: (unconfirmed) Do the story quest Sylph Management. You've probably already got it done, but still a lot of people told me I needed this one done. Forth: Once the first and second things are done go and talk to Jacke at the rogue's guild and he'll set you up with the quest chain for ninja.

Wildstar goes F2P

Another MMO is going free to play. That's right recently the makers of WildStar have announced it's going free to play. I don't know if it's just going completely free and just charging people for the extras in-game or if you'll still have to buy the game but they are getting rid of the monthly fee. Really you didn't need to pay a monthly fee, I know I didn't for the short time I played the game. All you had to do was buy (with in-game money) the special tokens that would let you in-turn buy game time. That's right, it's the system that WoW picked up, which kinda makes me wonder if WoW is going to be going free sometime in the future. hmmmmm. Anyway Wildstar is supposed to be going free this fall.  So if you haven't played or like me got tired of playing, this fall might be a good time to hop back into the game.
