The build falls apart without smirk to be fair

how high was this dude when he made this vid

Wow ur vids honestly inspire me to do better on my vids. Fantastic work!

Mordecai was my first. I always felt Mordecai to be for expert players, due to his somewhat weak action skill, but potential high dps. Once Mordecai is dialed-in with the right gear, his ranged-dps is outstanding.

WHO DOESNT WANT TO WATCH THE WHOLE VIDEO Sniper 5:16 Rouge 8:56 Gunslinger 13:16

Really like the commentary man and appreciate the helpful and opinions

Lol, " ...dopest thing since dope itself." Idk why but that made me CRACK up.

I wish you had done a video like this for the other playable characters because this was really informative and interesting

Another great guide,good job matey.

I only have one thing to say: Penetrator. It's a legendary full-auto sniper rifle with a red text, but it's bugged so that it always shows up as green, blue or purple. With lvl 50 proficiency which doubles the fire rate AND damage (only shotguns do both of those as well), coupled with increased mag and ammo regen AND the regular extra crit damage that comes with snipers makes a sniper-specced Mordecai capable of the highest dps in the game, provided you hit them crit spots fairly often. Crawmerax becomes a joke.

Thank you for all of these videos they are very helpful

Can you share what weapons and shields and, if applicable, grenade mods you use for the Sniper, the Gunslinger, and the Truxican Wrestler? And quite possibly the COMs, if you don't use those three.

Im sooooo excited that borderlands got remastered i never played the dlc because i had it on an outdated system but now that i can get it on ps4 im gonna get all the dlc

What's your opinion on +2 Team find rare items stat on COMs? I'd appreciate a long answer.

I like having some ability to daze cuz it basically like locks enemies in place if they don't leap around

4:45 Ok, so I might have to disagree with this. So many enemies have shields, so many bosses as well, that being able to get right at their health is pretty useful. You can get a low-damaged sniper with high crit, get a headshot and instant drop them. Of course, if you have a high damage high crit sniper, trespass has less utility, but that also requires you to have good gear (less likely to happen at low level). And maybe it’s a placebo, but I think you can get the corrosive debuff applied to enemies health, amplifying your damage to their health. Like, you’ll notice the corrosive dot attacks the shield first, but the next time you fire, the direct damage you deal to an enemies health is increased. I tried this with a Maliwan crux, and the damage seemed to accelerate as I kept firing against an enemy with a shield. That shouldn’t really happen if the debuff isn’t applied, but to be fair, I don’t have the actual numbers to back that up. Could be a placebo effect, but might be some merit to it. TL;DR: Trespass is pretty useful in the lower levels, until you get really good gear. Might also allow you to get the corrosive damage debuff to health even when the dot is eating at an enemies shield, so kinda free extra 15% damage.

Trespass is great in the story because shields become very common (shields individually are often relatively small but once you've shot hundereds of them it really adds up), especially on those Crimson lance elemental troops that all have shields, it also allows for pot shots because shields regen but health doesn't so if you need to duck out of a fight they aren't mitgating the damage you dealt by restoring thier shield. Against Crawmerax (and a few other bosses) it's near worthless since shields don't come into play.

Sam Trotter, you are a nut! Thanks for all the info!

I really enjoyed this one. Mordecai is just so much fun, I loved watching the builds you did for him Bloodwing is alright, but not something I'd rely on a lot to be honest

fast hands. "giggity"

doesnt ransack work with crawmerax to get him to drop more stuff?

Your a great help. Thanks for all your insight .

I really like your class setup videos, I recently just started playing borderlands after I beat borderlands 2...5 times. anyway I'm using Mordecai as my first character, and I wanna know what a good shield would be for him+guns. oh, and I also got the game of the year pack, so I wanna know when to start Dlc missions.

borderlands old gold god old times

Lethal Strike is actually super broken I saw joltzdude kill knoxx in a few hits but it's probably on good on the first and second playthrough

19:20 that's what Lilith said

Actually smirk is amazing if you're leveling 4 mordecais. :)))) I got to 69 in one day because we all had gone into smirk. Besides that don't use it.

Trespass is also good for those pesky Crimson Lance soldiers, too

This guy falls apart hard, and it’s great.

this works sooooo good thanks. ☺👍

You missed an important bloodwing point. With a com boosting the amount of targets he can attack you really get to enjoy his screech

I'd like to see gameplay of that last build

Just watched this, you made me laugh so much. Cheers, mate!

I'm so late, but I will wright one tought here. If you play as a sniper, your sniper com will give points to your carrion call skill anyways so it is wise tu put at least one point to that skill. That way every sniper shot you fire will decrease bloodwing cooldown. Which means faster daze, faster health recovery via out for blood skill. And a lot more distraction on battlefield. Actually daze has pretty good effect if you play as a sniper. A dazed enemy hits a lot less which means a lot less annoying aiming distraction to you. You can rid off the most annoying thing in this game: when an enemy hits you your aiming shakes. If the enemy hits less your aiming is a lot more stedier.

I like using revolvers more than anything else in the game with mordecai

Crits on crits on crits

This is quite brilliant

Dude do more videos for all the games. Charismatic and extremely knowledgeable. Strike while the iron is hot and you would get tons of views.

Are you tiny tina's brother

im playing this game now on 360 with a friend and using mortecai. This class can go from ok to meh pretty quickly. The Bird I see can be good but in corridors, the bird kinda of just flies around and does nothing.

Well done with this. Everything you said about the skills is correct. A lot of people think Riotous Remedy is far better than it actually is.

Bloodwing is garbage at the start, but amazing after you level him up. In the early game, with 5 points in Swift Strike, Blood does more damage than your guns and usually one-shots all enemies except bosses and badasses. His damage remains high after that, but you also add dazing and elemental debuffs like corrosion to it. I realize Bloodwing is a bad action skill when you have no points to invest, but IMO it really improves and becomes very useful when you get down to Bird of Prey. You're dazing, healing yourself, doing big piles of damage, hitting multiple targets and that's all passive on top of your guns.

can you do the same for other classes as well?

Weapon merging in the remaster absolutely allows mordecai to absolutely destroy everything, with 4 suckerpunch pistols, dealing 2,000% more damage on Top of lethal strike and a truxican wrestler com

Can I say that on my playthrough you don't have to be looking at the enemy for bloodwing to kill the enemy

Bro you just called two of the best skills mordecai has bad/okay. Bloodwing is incredible. As long as you have sniper ammo regen you basically have 0 cooldown on bloodwing which means you get free heals whenever you want with carrion call and out for blood. And you know you can call bloodwing back right? That makes your point about not providing heals when he deals damage almost completely unimportant. Basically once your shield drops and you think you’re about to take damage, call him back and instantly resend him. You basically have a free heal waiting for you all the time. And he deals enough damage to fully heal you most of the time.

Mordy got more lethal with the new legendary... dat 500% melee damage!

Max lethal strike and a weapon that gives 100% melee damage makes lethal strike overpowered.

I've stumbled on your videos after I started playing borderlands 1 again with my 11-year-old boy and he wanted to play Lilith it's a shame you didn't carry on with more videos they a really good and informative

i wonder if you have/played borderlands 2

subbed.. because your a bad person. friend, wife, and i are all going back through BL1 again, still fun!!

Come back man, Melee Mord is now beast mode with the new Sucker Punch pistol in the remaster

hi mate do you still play bl1

Get yourself a Skullmasher, put 5 points into carrion call and 1 into predator and enjoy immediately getting your action skill off cooldown with a single shot....

Nice guide but are you high?

Bloodwing is good for desteoying enemy shields

I know this is a really old video but blooding really isn't useless, especially not the most useless skill in the game. At level 69, with two well timed LB presses, I can go from almost dead to back at full health. I'm not sure any other character can get as much health back as fast.

Optimize Paladins loadouts would be fucking dope if he comes back.

I'm still trying to finish the game it's taking me forever

Your in such a good vid back then lol

just so you know, i have had my blood wing 1 hit kill more people then i can count. bloodwing is a beast

Honestly bloodwing isnt that bad. It's not incredibly useful when fighting against a single high hp boss, but it shines when running around killing mobs.

Sam for President

in other borderlands games i enjoy the action skills on some players, often the ones no one else likes (like claptrap)...but i dont really use action skills much.. so i like using Mordecai..just use bloodwing for elemental and healing. but he has good gun play. the other characters are VERY DEPENDANT on the action skills...and i just dont enjoy using them much....although the SPEED of Liliths ability i do enjoy. Mordecai is my favourite BL1 character. But i do find the ''loot'' skills like ransack suck... yea,get more $$ from enemies, but not health...and it TAKES AWAY from the amount of rare stuff that could drop. it seems that because they dropping so much $$ and ammo ect, you dont get as many rare drops. and YES Mordecai with pistols and revolvers is HILARIOUS !!! i spend half my game doing the 'evil laugh'.

The build is at 15:29

hey man, sorry to see you didnt continue this series :/

Trespass is good against Wee Wee, and through most of the story

When I first started watching this there was some skills that he says that are bad and now at 13:15 he's just being hilarious about freaking pirate face BTW LOL also dude we need the cool down bloodwing is not useless and not a tool if you were Mordecai thanks for the help though.

Trespass is OP

Tresspass is useful in endgame

Smirk FTW

I absolutely stand by Bloodwing. You forgot to mention that he continues to attack even after you are downed. So if you spec into into Rogue then, if you launch bloodwing and happen to go down, you usually end up getting revived immediately with full health from Out for Blood.

While i am a pretty late on this, i invested nearly every skillpoint i had into bloodwing as i wasnt a fan of sniping or most of the gunslinger skills, and because of that, my bloodwing 1-shot 90% of the enemies i fought in my second playthrough, including eridians as long as i was using a shock artifact, bloodwing, while it does need a pretty accurate build skillpoint and class mod wise, it can be much more of a devastating tool than you made it out to be.

Dont you get your first point at lvl 5??

Smirk is one of my favorites. *It even applies to Singleplayer AND Co-Op, sooooo....*

Tresspasser bad? Ripperino in pep

to bad its an analysis with to many skill point you get your first point at lvl 5 how do you have 69 at level 69?

Boi you high?? lmao

Bloodwing IS the best action skill in the game and Brick's berserking the worst. Playing in 4player difficulty solo without Bloodwing is impossible. But overall Lilith is the strongest character solely because of Silent Resolve, then Mordecai, then Roland and lastly poor Brick (his best skill being Die Hard, without it he is like wet toilet paper).

IMO Hunter gains value for raw damage but his action skill isnt very good

wait a sec?....so u have 69 skill points even tho first skill point u get at lvl 5

It's a tool! It's a tool! It's a tool!!!!! It's deceiving you!! giggaaaa huh, no, no it's not cool, ever. Had to tap out at the 9:30 mark, sorry sam I think your gigga-juice was starting to kick in.

You sound like my cousin kinda.

Do class mod reviews! I can't find good vids or forum posts going over BL1's class mods! Example for Zer0: forums.gearboxsoftware.com/t/class-m0ds-for-zer0/67065/1

I'm more of a combat medic mordi. My friend of course is brick and even tho I should snipe I'm like well shotgun them all. Only time I snipe is if turrets or if I know that I need to hang back.

Do you even pop filter?

Bloodwing is not week bloodwing is actually pretty strong when I play Borderlands

Damn these are elitist videos. Carry on.

Sniper rifle sway! 😂

You had me until Trespass, then I had to question EVERYTHING you said. TRESPASS IGNORES SHIELDS. TRESPASS IGNORES SHIELDS. WHAT THE HELL IS WRONG WITH THAT???? In order to farm ANYONE you have to get pass enemies with shields. With Trespass can reduce their hit pool by MORE than 50% in some cases. DUDE, EXPLAIN YOURSELF.

The cringe is strong in this video

This gets more and more cringe the longer you let it go on for..

and you only get 65 skill points at end game, learn math!!!

I want a gameplay video of that lethal strike build.
