i haven't had the nerve to go to tier 2 yet.
im wondering to all of those who have if its much harder then tier 1 or if its really something
i don't need to worry about. if you could leave me some examples of whats in tier 2 or
a weapon it would be good to have let me know in your comments. :) thanks.
Here's a few.
Wolvers dodge gunfire in T2
Retrodes shoot lazer beams in T2
Rocket Puppies shoot missiles that tries to follow you. Thankfully, they can't make really tight turns.
Most monsters do dual damage, that is, normal and whatever second element they possess. Select your armor carefully.
All slimes can do ranged attacks.
Spookats shoot balls of....something.
Gun Puppies shoot 3 balls rather than 1.
If you haven't learned to utilize your shield yet, you'd better learn it soon. Guns, if I were you, I'd try to go cryotech or firotech, fire for additional damage and cryo to stop monsters in their tracks. Get used to using your guns as well, they're really nice for taking out gun puppies and other monsters safely (well, more or less...). You may want to consider using bombs as well. Freezing and Fiery Vaporizers are currently really popular for the same reason cryotech and firotech alchemers, except they affect a wider area.
In the end, what you decide to do depends on your playstyle. Experiment with different weapons and equips until you see something you really like. Grab stuff off the auction house and try them out. It won't hurt and it'll more than pay back once you get used to tier 2.
