I think the class mod points should still show in the tree, regardless of actually getting to it yet

I’m sure everyone has figured this out already, but after I do I run, instead of just selling my gear I enchant everything once and make a ton more money. I’m always maxed out on moon orbs anyway (unless I’m rolling for something specific), so why not maximize my cash? Like I said, probably old news, but I just thought of it the other night and figured I’d share just in case.

Thanks for making this. It's been really frustrating how a lot of things in this game is explained poorly/not explained at all/just straight up lies lol. Appreciate you making this to keep us informed.

So, crazy/bugged interaction with the "on spell kill 50% chance for extra shot" If you have two of these spells on hand (one equipped, one unequipped) if you kill an enemy with a spell and trigger the glowing effect you get on the gun, then go into your inventory and swap spells (different spell but same enchant) it somehow stacks. This will then have your gun firing two shots instead of one... 100% of the time. And you can keep rolling this, just get a spell kill and swap the spell. You might have to shoot your weapon to see the extra pellet before swapping the spell, I haven't tested this yet though. I only discovered this on spellshot using dual spell wielding. But the pixies can also trigger this and the pixies will shoot the extra projectiles. This effect stays permanent until you save quit, so moving maps keeps the bug... So yeah, now I got pixies acting like fully automatic shotguns. It's nuts.

It would probably be helpful to make a video introducing new players to the series to common or returning concepts and mechanics. Crit swapping, how gyrojets/TNT work, spreading out your damage formula, etc.

No better borderlands/wonderland content than crunchy effects, interactions, and maths videos; thanks, and I'm looking forward to part 2!

The smart armor info was extremely helpful, my stabbo build has been feeling very inconsistent and frustrating the hell out of me now I understand lol

The class mod part was one thing I didnt knew and that makes a HUGE different reason! Buffmeister was my curious of the effect and figured they have different buff by the words effect. Also not trying to be greedy, but I wish for more leveling to get more powered skill.

I KNEW SOMETHING WAS WILD ABOUT MY DAMAGE OUTPUT NOT BEING CONSISTENT! The smart armour was on and the few boards I visited just figured it was because people weren't using the enchants properly. Thank you so much for helping figure out what was broken!

I know it would be a mess to sort through armor but I really wish they could roll with any skills. Way to combat the bloat is make it where at least loot bunnies only drop armor based on your classes or just in general so I don’t have to use a spellshot x grave armor when I’m a grave x claw.

One of the most confusing things to me is still what a companion is when it comes to the Graveborn +damage for each companion skill. A gun can read in the text that it will spawn a pixie COMPANION, yet the pixie will not count as a companion where a Hydra TURRET is a companion. Wtf.

I was so confused about the spell crit chance, thanks for clearing that up!

Thank you for providing that smart armor info, I never knew that

My biggest thing is it doesn’t matter if you “melt” the boss as long as you kill the damn thing, most people see maxed out builds online and complain that they can’t kill the boss because they aren’t melting it, sometimes a boss just takes some time there’s no shame in taking a while to kill the boss

Great tip re: the Cryo Buffmeister, I never would've figured that out on my own. I have Zap/Pew on my Trapscallion but it's Lightning based. Time to go hunting again!

i found a purple shield with a really interesting enchant, on ward break gain 200% spell critical chance for 5 seconds, which sounds hilarious on spellshot builds. my spell crit chance shot up to 718% lmao when i slapped it on

Love these kinds of videos in general. As someone who doesn't get a ton of time to play, getting condensed info like this makes my time in Wonderlands better all around

Thanks for the info. That last bit really should be explained in game as to what gun type scales of what damage type. Thanks for explaining.

I need a new dated spore warden video plz plz plz

Good video! Please do more! There's so many mechanics in borderlands games that just do not work the way you'd think they do and a video like this helps a ton.

Moxsy: You should not use this armor - Me: Did I overestimate its' effect? Moxsy: - because it's bugged. Me: Oh. Right. Of course it is. *exasperated sigh*

I was just thinking that I needed a video from you today. Thank you!

I wish the game gave you a stat sheet so we can see what they actually are

Thanks Moxsy, this is exactly the video I was hoping for. Really looking forward to part 2.

There was a part 2 of this video? niice content lot of things I didn't knew abouot mechanics... thanks buddy

THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR THE COMPANION SPREADSHEETS ! I've been using a chilling fragmented rain and glad to know its doing spell damage!

For part 2 I would be very interested in crit chance on all the companions and wich benefit from wich crit chance bonuses

What if you take off the smart armor then put it back on after a stage transition? Would that fix it as a temporary work around until the patch it?

Super awesome video I already knew some things, but there were a lot of things like the fearnot and whatnot, which i didn't knew Awesome work and a huge thank you, Moxsy❤️❤️❤️

This video is like trying to learn how to do your taxes in Spanish upside down in the middle of a circle stuffed inside a triangle in a fourth dimension in space.

That's kinda lame only certain skills show up for certain classes. Like Clawbringer will never be able to have an armor class mod with "Wrath of Nature" for a Clawbringer Sporewarden combo. Wish they would change that so all classes can get all skills. Seems unfair only Brrzerker gets it wrath of Nature with Sporewarden and no one else.

Endgame in a nutshell. Step 1 - get Feriore pistol. Step 2 - throw toward enemy.

I feel like you need a degree to make builds in this game

Smart Armor: Unequip and equip it again after entering a new chaos chamber as a workaround.

Honestly gonna need you to get out of my head lol, was just thinking last night that moxsy needs to put out a Q and A series cause I have a lot of questions that I don't have answers to haha

Just started playing Wonderlands and this video made my head hurt! Will probably make more sense once I have played the game more. 🤔

With the soaked debuff, does that mean that players can now debuff other players fire damage in multiplayer? If so, it seems very poorly thought out.

That info about fearnots doing spell damage is really interesting. I wish the game itself was clearer about that, it's really hard to understand what is going on as a more casual player with some of this stuff. Great video!

Was waiting on this dude, thanks!

this is a great help! the spread sheet is amazing definitely going to keep an eye out for part 2

I wonder if the first armor would be fixable by just un-equiping and re-equiping

Thanks for the great info. I have saved this for the awesome charts. Keep them coming , you do great work. Be well.

late thanks for the good infos, Moxsy, appreciate it. so now i finally understand a bit more about the scaling by the buffmaster, and that particular armor as well. Kudos

I was so happy when i finally got my Buffmeister with Frost damage and rerolled it with melee enchantment for my melee build but now that I know the bottom words mean something I looked at mine and it has Pew and Zap. welp time to go back and farm Zomboss again. Thank you so much for making these types of videos to help us understand :) keep them coming

I usually choose a class mod and build around the unique effects. Right now a claw warden with calamity armor ricochet imp rifle set up with max fire damage on equipment and wrath of nature being the big deal. Videos on the class mods might be a good thing down the road.

Awesome video bro, I learnt a lot there. Looking forward to pt 2.

This was a much needed info video. Would love to see more of these.

Could you test items or skills that say "for a duration" or "for a time" but don't give actual values. It'd be nice to know the exact length of time

Great vid, wanted to say the circuitous gyre is underrated and you should look into it, specifically high mag, and *without* the consumes 2 ammo since it shoots faster over each shot, got me to c35 without too special of a build, I just put on what ever gives me +damage

Great guide, just pick up the game and the video had cleared alot of my confusion

Isn’t spell blade still the best melee for spellshot though? That explanation was kind of confusing. And do you increase spell dmg or melee dmg to do more dmg with the spell blade?

This is the kind of video I like best. Kinda like a Mythbusters style. I learned a lot. Thanks.

Interesting note if you see this. In my experience so far the butt station portals in the chaos chamber will not give you points in skills you don't have actual skill points into (not like your description around 3 min)

Quick question: apart from doing chaos chambers , what is left there to do in End-Game in TTW ? I must say I recently dinged lvl 40 and finished the main story line. I love the game (it works so much better in Split-Screen that BL3 - aka. it doesn't crash on PS5 (my BL3 does crash in split screen on PS5!)), but I find the chaos chambers to be extremely boring ! I've done a few, and I thought I would puke. So now I'm trying to figure out - what else is there to do ? I can do the side quests and finish exploring / unlocking all shrines in Overworld and gathering all the lucky dice, but what else is there to do ? I understand that to unlock the 'raid bosses' etc, you have to do chaos chambers right ? (which I refuse to do, caus it's mind numbingly boring haha). PS> I was really disappointed when I found that there are no 'slot machines' like they used to be in the BL2 and the Bunkers and Badasses expac for BL2 :) I was a huge fan of these. Wasted so many hours with these haha.

Awesome video I love the theory craft part the best that enables us to try and come up with fun whacky stuff too

The Ferior bloodshot pixie shotgun is nice to pair with the crossbolt pixie for spell builds.

Thank you so much for this I was looking for a high thread count with graveborn for so long lol I thought I just had bad luck

i always learn so much from your vids thank you 💖✨

I can't believe some guns are doing spell damage and not gun damage.

Great video, I love the flurry of tips that most players wouldn't realize

I've noticed that my cursed wit and last gasp wards don't work either. Rather than nerfing my rogue imp I wish they'd fix the stuff that isn't working before worrying about balance.

Can you un equip and re equip the smart armor to reactivate?

Companion build when?

I had NO idea about the prefixes Words of the z Buffmeister! Fml. I had been selling off BM based on duration! And I’m a Frost Spellshot…and can remember selling Frost BM’s in the past. 🤯🤯. Why doesn’t Gearbox tell us these things!! Ugh

just yesterday got a frost ZAP PEW buffmeister.. now im thinking of testing it ;)

You only get the class mod points for the ones you do not buy if they do not say you must purchase it for it to be active. Any that say that, the points will not matter unless you have at least one point spent in it already.

Every Bufffmeister comes with three buffs, not two. The reason you can't see the third buff is because Gearbox simply doesn't care to fix an EASY-to-fix issue that's been around since BL1, which is they didn't make the item cards big enough to display every line of text on them. So, the third buff works perfectly fine, but it's hidden on the card because it's enchanted. If you ever pick up an any un-enchanted Buffmeisters you will see they all have three buffs. If you have an enchanted Buffmeister, you can still figure out what the third buff is by heading to the target range and start testing. Yeah, oh what fun. Thanks Gearbox, you really do suck for this because you could easily change/re-size the item cards to show every single line of text in every single possible combination of that can occur in the game.

Does play the angles get increased damage from + ability damage skills ( like affinity) and equipment (rings, Ammy, armor)? KZfaq creators have all been saying different things!

Awesome concept, thanks for doing this!!

A Polymorph build would be hilarious

The other day my buddies and I were doing 4 man runs and noticed other items breaking like liquid cooling. Pull the trigger and it makes noise but no bullets get spent. There’s a shield, i forgot which one but it’s also a legendary and it “breaks” too.

Personal opinion on the companions summoned by guns, they should just scale off companion damage. They need to balance the game to make the legendaries actually worth it because so far a lot of builds I see, most of the kits are purples, which is cool we don't HAVE to use legendaries, that is a cool aspect. But it is such a vast difference that it makes getting a legendary almost pointless since there is no good way to switch out a purple for a legend

Thank you for this! Very useful and clear.

That cryo buffmeister part was the most confusing shit I heard all week.

Very helpful. Thank you. What is "ability"?

Thank you for the enlightening video. Got a couple of questions. a) Did they fix smart armor or it's still bugged. b) Mage cape does only 50% more damage instead of 150% that's a bug too or its working as intended and if it's a bug did they fix it? c) as frost shiver should i use buffmeister or should i use a frost sigil cast around the owner? (the one that follows you ofc). thank you again for the video.

can someone PLEASE tell me where do I go in the game to play the new dlc..Please SOMEONE HELP

So regarding the buffmeister, if im only stacking gun damage, as long as I have a total gun damage increase from other gear over 80% then it makes more sense to use an element other than cryo, correct? Assuming no specific reason I want cryo over another element

Played this recently and this has to be the most confusing system ever, it makes my brain hurt lol

So question for your next video or anyone who might have the answer, does ability damage scale up from the shadows damage or is it solely based on the weapon you're using

I'd like to see a video on the spore warden/spell shot combo pls :)

Some class skills need to be purchased before a class mod can increase it, but some skills can be activated by class mods.

Excellent guide Moxsy, very helpful!

Hi Moxxsy got a question for ya that would fit in one of these vids, does the spore warden capstone work with guns like the live wire and the white rider? it is really hard to tell in game if it does.

Figuring out things for these types of games is already annoying. That Cryo Buffmeister really just annoyed the hell out of me since i've been using it on my Melee Brr-Zerker, but always felt it was really lackluster DMG wise. My Dark magic one always felt stronger, and every buffmeister i've gotten has Pew and Bonk, even ones my spore warden got. After killing the Banshee over and over for several hours for over a week now and not getting a Cryo Wailing Banshee, i think i'm getting PTSD of killing the GraveWard for over several months and not getting desired drops. At this point I think it's the first time ever I just want my money back. DLC was a mini Chaos chamber just to enable more loot i never see. Fml.

How do you farm for your gear Moxsy? Do you just do chaos chambers or farm the bosses with the dedicated drops? I have done endless chaos chambers looking for a piece of gear and have not gotten a single good roll

Off topic here, what's the color you're using on your toon? The blue and gold looks great

so, I really liked the idea of graveborn and stabbomancer but with the origin trait I had to do either more spell damage or more crit damage and crit rate.

Why do they word everything wrong in every borderlands?? “20% more damage but not really it’s actually 2%”

I would love a vid explaining Sigils - specifically to tell what they actually do. I can never tell if a Sigil is buffing anything on my character, or if the text is just for the modifiers on the Sigil's damage itself. Also can never tell if the Sigil is going to heal my character or not, as it doesn't seem to outright state it in the text and more often than not it doesn't.

Thanks. Some of this stuff is still hella confusing. Especially the buffmeister. I was using one for a while but not an optimal one so stopped and ended up adding ice spikes to both hands. I have a chryo buffmeister but i think its bonk and kchew and since im running spells its not really helping.it does give a nice speed boost but my current armor has +20% speed as a passive which is already pretty good.

We need some clawbringer buildssss

Well, that's just great. Smart Armor not working as it should... but what SHOULD I use now for a Crit Build? I'd be lucky to get just the right Amalgam with the right "god-roll" stats.

Love your builds, my current Deadshot is based on your build. Question: If Spell crit chance is above 100%, is that a higher chance to scale "Double Knot"?, Or does it cap at 100%?. Is 150% better than 100%?

super helpful awesome guide. if you can find the time it would be nice to see a video breaking down the warped paradigm and what roll you want to go with for what build for example i can imagine splitting spell damage into melee and ability is good for spellshot but on brrzerker do i want to buff my melee damage with spell or ability damage or do i want to buff those with my melee damage?

I think gearbox may have done something to nerf the deadshot build. I built specs and put my hero points in to match your build and my spell crit hit chance was well over 100%. Loaded in today and gone to grind chaos, noticed my pixies doing barely anything and my spell crit chance has dropped to 23.9%. Think its been nerfed

I have no idea why you had to reload to prove you had the highthreadcount when it said current effect on the skill. If you mentioned that then did the reloads to prove it, makes sense. But you didn't mention that all you had to do was high light the skill to see if it said current effect on it or not.

Mate it does not break.. you need to read. In Chaos Chamber, it tells you in the beginning it will handicap some of your states. So it is normal that it goes down in the harder mode.. again.. it tells you that in the very first time, you go into the chamber of chaos.

Does anyone know if the lightning bolt feriore chucks do spell damage? And what other guns may proc spell damage? It feels like things like the catatumbo might too but im not sure

Spellweaving stacks can go past 8 as well I've seen my stacks go to 10 so it seems if you already have a point into high thread count and you get a point from the class mod/Armor it will stack above 8 don't know of that is suppose to happen but it can happen.
