Finished Playthrough 1. I died a TON at The Destroyer, until I figured out some real strategy Disappointing ending tbh. Oh yeah - I finished it at level 34, when did you guys finish?

Yep a orange and a different orange weapon (Maybe it was a yellow but it didn't look like it.) But they weren't that good. I was disappoint.

Level 36, and the destroyer was nothing more than a waste of ammo, not really hard.

I am still miffed that during my entire 1st play through, I only got one Eridian weapon, and it was the pathetic one that is automatically dropped when you kill that general dude.

I'm going to make a game now if anyone wants to play. I'm level 21. It will be an East Coast server. I'm going to name it Overclock.net (I always do). If you join let me know you're from here.

I really want to get a good group of players. People who will actually check out loot and give it to who gets the most use out of it instead of the typical OOO CLICKY CLICKY I WANT THAT lol.

Gamespy is is Risenzealot.

Agreed with the ammo, I managed to aquire 6 Eridian weapons though

Has anybody ever come across a weapon that says it does >1 type of elemental damage? Is it possible that there are some, but you just can't see it on the stat sheet for the weapon?

And I'm also wondering whether people are positive that a class mod of, say, +3 on Impact actually gives you +3 even if your actual Impact skill is a 0 ... or do you have to have at least 1 point in the Skill? What if the buff from a class mod isn't even unlocked in your tree?

Personally I think it's majorly lame that you can't see your actual skill values with class mods like most RPG games will show you (like Titan Quest, Dungeon Siege, those types of games always show the effects of these kinds of buffs on your skill tree, usually with an alternate color where buffs are impacting the number).

Other than that (and a few other minor gripes) I'm digging this game alot. Level 44 Soldier, playthrough 2, just starting New Haven quests. Playthrough 2 is friggin HARD AS HELL, and I'm not getting very good drops playing either solo or with a buddy.

I do have a cool eridian sniper rifle I got on first playthrough I still carry around ... I've not seen anyone post a screen of it ... the label says "I'm afraid I'm gonna break this thing". It drains really fast and has a long recharge time (and a crappy scope), but even though it's like level 30 or so, it still brings down most any shield within a couple shots, even mid-40's level guys.

Edit: Oh, and I have some other questions: Fire/incendiary, shock, and corrosive all specifically state what they are good for, but explosive does not ... does this mean it's just kinda good against anything, but not great against anything in particular?

And also, corrosives are great against humans in armor like the Lance dudes, but don't seem great against 'organic' armor. Is there anything that's especially good against armored creatures, or is the only advantage you can gain is just hitting them in their soft spots?

I just finished the game last night and was lvl 36, I found 4 orange(that I bothered to take screen shots of anway), but I only use 2 weapons now, 1 sniper that kills Eridian dudes in 1 shot. The other is a pistol that is bugged, it has unlimited ammo, never needs to reload.
My game name is ShazBo666 btw.
These are the two weapons that I use.
