Borderlands 3 | Gearbox's Genius Changes To The BL3 Skill Trees

As someone who doesn’t have a whole lot of time to game anymore, I haven’t been this excited for a game in a long time. I remember back when BL2 first came out and I was a young teenager, me and a buddy pulled all nighters 3 nights in a row playing that game lol. The nostalgia is real

[@randeschamps7101]

@@dadeee7776 what are you talking about a level one sal is almost identical to any other vault hunter. Leval five is when they diverge with their action skill and at that point sal is almost always waiting on cool down plus gunzerking at low levels can be hard because it forces you to get close. Early on he doesn't have the health regeneration to deal with the damage. Even end game playing sal doesn't automatically break the game. a end game Salvador who doesn't use any moxie weapons is actually pretty challenging as your best defence is speed and running in and out of danger to keep yourself from being mowed down. Salvador is certainly a broken character however if not built to be broken he is actually pretty frail. In short it is his build and the grognozel that makes him overpowered not simply being a midget.

am i the only one who would love to see what theyde do with BL2s vault hunters if they designed the skill trees and abilities this way? lets pretend gaiges melee override skill was good, (cause as far as i know, most people say its not) and it was an ability like kriegs buzz axe, imagine having a melee and death trap wombo combo build, melee digistruct death claws, digistruct murder bot out all the time, ide love that (edit: before i get replies saying "JuSt PlAy Bl2", no, as much as i think it would be cool to be able to play as them in this game, (my favourites at least, but thats obvious) im not saying they should re-release all previous vault hunters for BL3)

[@TyGently]

there's actually a mod for BL2 called Borderlands 2.5, and it totally reworks all the skill trees to be more impactful and interesting like BL3's or PreSequel's. In fact, Gaige's new melee skills and deathtrap skills are focused in the same tree, so you can literally make a melee and death trap wombo combo build with digistruct death claws and digistruct murder bot. The claws are even a low-tier gamechanger instead of a capstone, so you can get them really early.

[@chewface]

Zane has a skill where all you need to do is freeze an enemy and your action skill immediately refills. Just keep a freeze weapon on hand with a high elemental effect chance, and you can essentially have infinite action skills. Infinite SNTNL drone, shield, clones. The dude's gunna be OP.

[@DaftRabbit09]

Been theory-crafting a few different builds each for Amara, Moze, and Zane, and honestly I don't think people should be handing FL4K (while he's awesome) the "best class" trophy just yet, there's some amazing power and sustain in the other three. Plus when you consider adding in the class mods and specific shields/weapons, the possibilities seems near limitless.

[@Rawsawn]

No Fl4k sure isnt the strongest.. Amara is, and she dots like a maniac ! 78% increased dot chance on her weapons. Example: lets say dots might last 3 sec normaly, she can 100% increase that, so 6sec. 8 shots/s weapon that maybe produce 6 dots per second due to not having 100% dot chance in total. ! Also she has kinda instant reload speed addtionaly. If you thought Salvadore is fubar take a gander at the new girl. Ohh and to top it off she can heal so much all damn day ill almost wager you can do a complete naked run with Amara melee style.

But I'll probably start off my first gameplay investing in tank stats to be able to play more aggressive/up-close early on with less worry of taking a ton of damage. I figure around 16-18 points in I can start to respec and test other stuff. Can't wait!

[@cbeheler]

Informative and fact filled. I had not thought about going down multiple skill trees simultaneously. Great vid.

[@matrixphijr]

What I love the most about the skill trees is how the action skills themselves (and pets, for Fl4k) and augments don’t cost skill points. You can literally swap between them at any time without respeccing. Have Amara’s action skill that deals shock damage and come upon a Shock Badass? You can just pause the game, go in your skill tree, and change it, then kill it and swap back when you’re done. That’s so awesome. I still kind of think the way the trees are set up encourages you to stick with one to unlock the augment(s) you want, and the capstones are still pretty good, too, but I can see how you’re not completely bound to one tree like with Krieg or whatever.

[@Darkreaper31]

Unfortunately, your Krieg argument still remains true for Amara. She will not be able to pursue her melee playstyle until she reaches max rank in Brawl. Her best melee passives are the last ones in the tree. The only difference I see, is that it is wiser to start in the red tree to reach illuminated fists fast. I think I will be doing this.

[@XoRandomGuyoX]

If the 30% chance for a grenade to crit still affects all splash damage, those Atlas pistols that use splash damage and can track for 30 seconds will be wicked on Moze.

[@chickenandpeaspips1190]

XoRandomGuyoX unless they changed how grenade damage works, and made it so that splash damage isn’t counted as grenade damage anymore. I feel like as fun as that made certain builds in bl2, it also low key made no sense that splash damage was “grenade damage”

[@TyGently]

Yeah, I thought this was kind of odd -- if the skill means all splash damage, it should say all splash damage. But the skill very clearly says "grenades". Is the skill description wrong, or is this dev recalling the mechanics wrong?

[@chickenandpeaspips1190]

Well, in previous borderlands games it would say grenade damage and knowledgeable players would know that included splash damage, but since they’re trying to make things more straightforward, I have a theory that it’s possible it has been changed

[@TyGently]

Yeah, the thing is, all other skills in the tree specifically say "splash damage", not grenade damage, so it'd be inconsistent if this instance of referring to grenades actually meant all splash damage.

[@chickenandpeaspips1190]

if that’s the case, then they definitely have changed it right? I mean it’s possible they didn’t but I don’t think they’d make that distinction otherwise

[@Label07]

What I got from that interview (good job btw) was the BL3 dev understands and agrees to let players decide how they want to play a certain character and not lock that character to a certain spec/gun-classification. If only they would do the same with where people want to buy/play it (Steam *cough*).

Well one thing about borderlands 2 is I never changed my build this game I'm going to change with the trees more because they are all really good unlike the last one that had one really good skill tree .

An interesting thing about the skill trees in this game is that certain class mods can also boost single tier skills.

[@cameronstandifird8210]

As a Krieg player, I can totally agree with him being late game. I don't know if you mentioned in the video, because I'm five minutes in, but just in case you don't, the hellborn tree is a mess. It starts you with skills that keep you on fire, but you get no benefits from being on fire until later in. If you plant a stuck into that tree, you got to save up like 15 points, because the skills are literally a hinderance until you get the damage resistance while on fire, and healing Elemental damage. Those are halfway up the damn tree.

[@Yomush]

Gonna play Mose because come on you can't just ignore a fucking mech that goes dakka dakka dakka

[@darthplagueis13]

Fl4k is an interesting character in that I can imagine playing them without any cornerstones. Two of them seem really good (Megavore and the power inside) and the last one seems very interesting but I could imagine it being not that viable, depending on the enemies it can work on. Like, if it works on literally any enemy it'd be way too insane (after all, that would mean that you get a quarter of a raidbosses health for free) but at the same time it should at least work on some of the stronger enemies so it gives you an actual advantage.

I like that they removed bonuses to specific types of weapons from the skill trees. In BL2 you were sort of forced into using certain types of weapons due to the bonuses within a skill tree. BL3 will give players a lot more freedom to just pick up whichever weapon you like. EDIT: Typed this before finishing the video and they actually mentioned this later on.

@Grym Not necessarily, once you get into OP levels or Raid Bosses. Very specific gear is needed. Sure, you CAN hit level 30 with world and quest drops, maybe level 50. But trying OP levels without a Grog with Salvador? You will be in FFYL constantly. No Anarchy on Gaige? Good luck doing enough damage with that nice shotgun. My hope is that some legendaries won't overpower others, and that more builds are viable at endgame, so you can build what you want rather than have the same 2-3 builds. Yes, I do understand a lot of it comes down to how much health the enemies have, the over-reliance on slag and the overall balancing (which BL2 was pretty bad at) but my point still stands, make legendaries useful, not just a handful of them.

Great Skill Tree Changes. Cant wait to play as Moze and FL4K (for the second playthrough) starting on September 13, 2019.

[@dcuoffendinghabits7949]

Except Zane seems more dor late game and even then with the modifiers can really screw zanes ice build

[@dcuoffendinghabits7949]

Which is pretty much all Zane has for really beastly damage

[@LockeWick]

My gut wasn’t wrong again, Zane sounds like my character. Movement focused and SMG favored, my loves! Ended up loving Axton in BL2 because of the amount of damage I was able to pull off with a Hyperion ballistic SMG. Everything died!

Ryan I washed a couple of your videos in the past and always liked your commentary but today I am subscribing because I really like the way you matched clips of capture content with what was being said to show off what you were actually talking about. I find it very frustrating when people get the chance to do interviews like this but choose not to make the video help explain the talking points. I look forward to more content from you

my only question is how well will the connection from the player to the server react like for example on warframe everyone has a separate connection that isnt combusting connection rate to point itll crash, is the multiplayer a single connection or will it run upon the host wifi

[@Willow4526]

There is probably going to be no server, so only pier to pier

[@captainlag51]

@@Willow4526 that meaning will be able to run off host wifi or struggle of my own

[@Willow4526]

@@captainlag51 can't say for certain to that, sorry. But it Will probably be done to some amount of either of those or both. So host connection and or yours. If you've played bl1+2 I'd imagine like those games but hopefully better with them improving the net code to allow a easier and smoother connection.

[@KochDerDamonen]

No servers, peer2peer. It's all about the internet stability between you and your partners. (great, imo, I'll still be able to coop it a decade later when hosting servers for the game is no longer financially viable for gearbox :p)

@@KochDerDamonen kind of wish it had a kind of more stable connection to a mainline server so im goin struggle like hell all this tellin me

Hopefully there is dlc characters i really dont like any of them. Probably going to go with moze because aleast that ability is quite unique to the BL series of characters, like playstyle in comparison to all other skills in the other games.

I don't know yet who I'm going to play with

@Mayan Ruins I like Amara but i also like the others

[@DaWishard]

From what I understand, I’ll just briefly go over their appeals if you want a character that has pets and command them tactically/ or a sniper character that focuses on headshots with jackobs weapons; go flak. If you want someone that plays like a titan fall character that is both a tank and deathmachine/ or a gunzerker equivalent that hardly runs out of ammo and dishes out crazy damage at end game; go Moze. If you want a character that uses their skill moves more than guns and be basically a wizard that hardly uses guns/ a character who’s role is to juggle groups of enemies with elemental damage and gets in enemies faces; go Amara If you want a character that can make any gun good,master of weaponry; and just gets deadlier every time they get a kill, and have soo many bonuses and be rewarded for having both skill and planning/ or simply want a run and gun Rambo character; go Zane. I maybe wrong on these, but I’m pretty confident with the skill trees they released, these are what the basic play styles they are catering to. IMO, it’s better to play around with all of them for a few levels and pick the one you just like.

[@Daniel-br3fz]

@@DaWishard Thanks for the good information man

The thing he said about picking the spiderant but going down the jabber tree makes NO sense, as you go down the jabber tree, you get stronger jabberwoks while investing nothing in the spider ant tree you would keep the base spiderant equipped. You COULD do this, but you're definitely NOT incentivised to do so as he initially said in his statement......
