    Hey guys, back with another Borderlands 2 video and today I figured I would go ahead and remake a previously out of date video I made about a year ago on borderlands 2 and the game's worst skills. I think these top 10 skills in borderlands 2 are some of the worst that the game has to offer! Would some of these skills make certain character's the worrst character?
    As always, if you like this video, leave a like and let me know what you think!

      @@zayajackson1337 well after you reach level 80, if you do raid on digistruck peak you'll gain an extra overpower level, enemies, bosses, equipment, etc will be 1 level higher BUT you won't actually gain the level, you can equip the stronger equipment though.
      Once you complete the raid once, you save and quit and load up your character again and it'll ask you if you want to raise your overpower level, raise it to 1 and then complete another raid and you'll reach overpower 2, you keep doing that until op 10 but it's a pain to do.

    I mained Krieg as a while when the Handsome Collection was free on Playstation, put points into Krieg's Fuel the Rampage and thought it was really nice to actually get my super out quicker. Then a random Maya joined me, killed one enemy, sprouted wings, and I proceeded to be constantly in a state of revive and die for the next twelve minutes while they forced me to compete in the Hyperion Slaughterdome.
    I don't think I've touched Krieg since then.

  • @DemoniteBL
    @DemoniteBL Před 7 lety +280

    After the patch Unf0reseen deals a really good amount of damage. You can even make a build around it and it kills things quite well. Kill C0nfirmed also works quite well with a shotgun build. Laser Sight is pretty underwhelming, but the tracking speed doesn't actually affect the turret negatively unless it's shooting at flying enemies. If you tested it against something that's not a Varkid and runs up to the turret you'd see it gets more accurate. Also Fuel the Rampage is literally useless with RtB.
    Edit: Laser Sight never affects the turret negatively period. It just increases accuracy and doesn't touch rotation speed or anything else.

    The Unf0reseen skill is actually one of my favorite Zer0 skills, killed tons of enemies with it while playing melee. I'm not necessarily playing melee all the time, but I like to jump into groups of enemies, activate my action skill and hit the biggest fish to deathmark him while most of the enemies are still close by, that way you deal pretty decent damange 🤷🏻
    Also shock damage is probably my favorite elemental damage next to corrosion, I equip shock grande mods pretty much at all times, I feel like the mods that create a "shock damage area" deal most damage to most enemy types.

    Since I built up Maya's harmony tree, I've actually gotten a lot of use out of her melee, so I don't find her melee upgrades so useless. When built a certain way, harmony Maya has insane sustain so long as she keeps killing and phaselocking enemies. Once I hit the mid twenties, I swapped from a sniper playstyle to just running in with a shotgun, and it works well. Granted, this is relying on building her in a very specific way.

    ...I'm not sure what your issue with Shock damage is. Shock damage is the most consistent and useful Elemental damage type in the game, considering its damage is never reduced except against Shock elemental enemies, which aren't that common. I'm not sure why you think it's not useful. I agree the skill you mentioned is useless, but the damage type it deals is not.

    • @cloudy6040

      MisterGunpowder shock damage is decent but not amazing. yes it has consistency but you could just use an element that an enemy is weak to (neglecting the shields). Gaige can boost shock damage though, which makes it amazing. overall, shock element isnt that bad.

    • @MisterGunpowder257
      @MisterGunpowder257 Před 7 lety +16

      The issue with that is that, in the games I played with friends, we often found that we often needed consistency more than we needed the boost from an elemental weakness, and in general if it was necessary to get a boost like that we just used slag to boost it. Corrosive damage is great against robots and fire damage is great against flesh, but when those aren't factors (like an enemy has a shield) then we needed to just use our shock weapons anyways. Then again, a big important thing here is that we built our group to fight raid bosses.

    • @ziggyzaggy8840
      @ziggyzaggy8840 Před 6 lety +8

      Agreed, shock is the most consistent. I'm guessing he has a playstyle of one of each element? That would make a shock only ability less appealing if that's the case. (Eg Fire and corrosive deals 1.7x damage to their respective weakness.)

    I've actually had a good time with hellfire halitosis.
    The thing it's useful for is getting ignitions during rampage.
    I've been running a build centered around maximizing damage resistance and melee output, and numbed nerves is one of the important bonuses I use. If you extinguish mid-rampage, the hellfire halitosis is a good way to light back up since you can spray the area. It's awful in gunplay, but it's an extra attack you can take advantage of during the rampage.

    Couldn't disagree more with "Kill confirmed" tbh. It's extremely powerful when you use a sniper rifle with Decepti0n. After placing the decoy, just quickly spam Death Bl0ss0m all over your targets, raise your sniper (hopefully with a full mag for 0ne sh0t 0ne kill), wait until Decepti0n is about to run out - B00m, headshot! First target down, next one also begging for a bullet because of the kunai debuff. The only thing I'd like to see about it being changed is the time it needs for stacking all the way up to 5. That would allow you to mark enemies that force you to look into a different direction, probably wasting a stack or maybe even yuor Decepti0n bonus.

      I agree with you I was watching like wtf is this guy on about. Its deadly in sniping Zer0. VPG Probably hasn't learnt full Zer0 Sniping, Its extremely powerful, for instance, I use snider shock and slag... That's it! I have a DHUP and a grog in slot 3 & 4 , Antagonist, Magic-missile/Crossfire/Singularity as grenade and Deadly Sniper comm.I use Kill Confirmed all the time, I'm good at hitting criticals with makes this op, if the enemy is slagged I can take lower tier enemy (Lunatic, Bandits E.T.C) In one hit. Its amazing skill there are so many other skills you can say shit but this defensible isn't one.

    I don't know how much damage Unforeseen does in UVHM but overall for me I like the combo of using it stacked with other melee skills to boost the melee damage so I can one shot someone and summon another clone while the last one explodes drawing attention from things like skags. Works for me especially when I Execute them from behind into the clone.

      Ticci Toby Thats why you use the Rough Rider with it. Also, don't just swing, throw the buzzaxes too.

      Ticci Toby If you don't like the skill i think you have missunderstood Krieg. He is a high risk high reward character, and you will often be at the brink of death but it's part of his kit and fits his crazy personality

    Great video, I personally disagree with the Fuel the Rampage spot since it all depends on if you are playing alone. I think it would fit as an honorable mention ( well not honorable but you know what I mean ) since it is very good when you meet the certain condition. Maybe I'm biased since I normally pay by myself but that is just my view.

    no ones mentioned the ability give deathtrap 7% movement speed? are you serious? thats by far the worst

    • @8BitPinkiePie
      @8BitPinkiePie Před 6 lety

      Eli Jordan 35% movement speed means he is able to melee things faster, and since Deathtrap is melee focused getting him to his next target faster means more DPS from him

      RoboGameBoy64 yeah... but hes already pretty fast. And he can glitch through walls and ceilings anyway so he doesnt really have problems getting around. I agree its a useless skill

    You should do the best 10 and worst 10 skills of all characters. So a mini-series with each video being of a character so we get 10 worst and best Gaige skills.

    do I really like lasers that alright I mean sorry but like still I mean it's more better like them without the rocket but even with the rocket it could be awesome even after it's been depleted it has to be destroyed for the laser guys to still be working I think it's funny

    Hate to break it to you, but you ignored "Silence The Voices" The boost is insane, sure, but at the same time, you can hit yourself for full melee damage. That skill put me in to fight for your life far too many times.

    • @Commandermoth
      @Commandermoth Před 7 lety +6

      its not full melee damage tho

      +revanstar85 In UVHM, the issues is that it stops you from performing actions, which can put you in FFYL. Hitting yourself twice in a row is 1.5% which means that even with careful timing, things can go wrong.
      +neosuduno The beauty of Silence the Voices is that it buffs the axe throw as well. Generally speaking, a lot of good build goes 11 Silence and Buzz axe Bombadier and just throw axes to negate the drawback.

    • @revanstar85
      @revanstar85 Před 6 lety

      Prime Sernh Lee Chng if you use a melee build you should never use buzz axe Bombadier because it changes it from melee to explosive which is nowhere near as powerful on Krieg compared to his Bass melee and is not buffed by melee boosting Shields

    • @ziggyzaggy8840
      @ziggyzaggy8840 Před 6 lety

      I used this guide. forums.gearboxsoftware.com/t/buzz-axe-bombardier-this-is-how-it-works/45862 From what I understand, the shield boost also affects the thrown explosive damage. Feel free to correct me if I'm wrong.

    • @revanstar85
      @revanstar85 Před 6 lety

      Prime Sernh Lee Chng roid Shields do not affect Buzz axe Bombadier Because by Buzz axe Bombadier is classified in game as grenade/explosive not melee
