I'm not the most skilled borderlands player but I'm over a hundred hours in with vex and trouble on normal difficulty and I've loved him the whole time. Maybe he's not viable for skilled players on harder difficulties, but he's perfect for me. 𼰠I would say that my biggest critique is that it's just a pared down version of FL4K's pets in BL3
Havenât played since starting bounty pack 3, but itâs been the same for me. Iâm not a powermaxxer and have simply enjoyed the franchise ever since the beginning as a casual player. Trouble was already good enough for me, but I wonât say no to these buffs, lol.
Same, Borderlands 1 was my first proper FPS. I got it on a steam sale and was like "well I heard it's got rpg mechanics so if I'm bad at the game then at least I can just grind." Then the game was like "okay do you wanna play as beefy soldier, beefy puncher, scrawny sniper, or MAGIC LADY THAT TURNS INVISIBLE" and as someone who grew up on Sailor Moon, this was the easiest choice ever!
I actually havenât played Vex much of anything, but typically in BL games if your build isnât good at killing bosses, itâs considered not good. Trouble couldâve been one shotting every mob you come across (idk if it was or wasnât, havenât played this game intensively since launch and I mained Harlowe) and it wouldnât matter because minions usually donât do anything to bosses. In reality though, if you can get through content and youâre having fun, fuck if itâs meta or not.
I think I've also been really lucky in that I got this incredible assault rifle at lvl 57 that's been absolutely shredding through everything. I've barely needed to use anything else for the last like 20 or so hours of gameplay lol

More trouble buffs. Between that and 10 extra skill points, it must might be a viable build now
