I'm playing as Gaige and I am in UVHM at level 53. My skills are distributed like that:
http://bl2skills.com/mechromancer.html#514004101541000000000000415150150010
The only legendaries I have is a Slayer of Terra Class Mod
and a Slag Conference Call
, though the CC is now obsolete in terms of damage (it is item level 50). My current gear includes a slag Bandit pistol, Lascaux
, some purple e-tech fire shotgun and lvl 45 Moxxi's Creamer
. The rest is regular blue or purple rarity gear close to level 52-53.
I am having trouble surviving fight, mainly because:
- The enemies are bullet sponges and without stacking Anarchy I have to reload 2-3 times for basic enemies.
- If I stack Anarchy I have no accuracy and can't hit anything from cover/safe spot.
- I can't close in on enemies for point-blank or close even range, because I get killed halfway through, and even if I succeed, other enemies put me in FFYL mode, and having no accuracy I have trouble with getting Second Winds.
- Deathtrap is irrelevant, even as a distraction, because it has meager damage and when there are more than 2-3 enemies he goes down like nobody's business.
- I am currently at Hunting the Firehawk mission and most enemies are swarms of various bandits in enclosed - semi-enclosed spaces, so no running around them or flanking is possible.
- My gear is a bit sub-par, but I can't get any better because TVHM is too low-level and UVHM drop and rewards are not good enough at this stage to be a gamechanger.
What can I do to not die to swarms of basic enemies? I have seen people on youtube having much less trouble staying alive and their playstyle is similar to mine - but they often carry ridiculous legendaries or fight in a group.
