when to switch to TVHM?

[DmAnd]

Just beat the story on normal and lvl 40. Don't know if i should start the tvhm mode or just do mayhem?

Just do Mayhem, there is no new content in TVHM. You can probably start the DLCs now if you have them. Mayhem will help you level to max and increase drop rates.

You can come back to TVHM if you wanted to do the story or side quests at Max level and get the rewards again, or if you just wanted to play through the story again with everything scaling to your level.

Both TVHM and mayhem scale enemies to your level so you can do either, TVHM is not required in B3. I'd recommend playing through the DLCs on Mayhem normal. Then when you're maxxed level you can try TVHM if you want, the only advantage TVHM has is that you can redo story and get quest rewards again so best to wait until you're level capped for that.

Use TVHM to give yourself quicker access to Sanctuary.

Once upon a time TVHM was worthwhile but later on they introduced Mayhem mode which they fiddled with until they settled on Mayhem 2.0.
TVHM and Mayhem don't stack so the reasons for doing TVHM are few.
If you want to do the story again maybe try a new character.
Many players, once they complete the story, want to get to maximum level quickly so they can farm the best gear and tackle the end game content at maximum difficulty.

There are the quest specific rewards, while earl does sell them they’re random.

All you gotta do is use some meta build and m11 is a breeze most of the time.

Rank up first, I found farming bosses or playing hord mode helps level up pretty fast.

End game content? Does more stuff open up once i hit lvl 50?
I played BL2 but still don't know much about how things work in the game

Wow really out of the loop, the level cap is I think 72 or 69. Stuff will open after beating the main story nothing level gated.

[Black Hole]

Nothing is leveled gated that I can recall but much easier to do when at max level and have all the points for a great build.

Right now I'm running a mellee amara that can one shot bosses, but due to her difficulty on tanking hits it's best to have someone with you when you go down.

I have not looked up any builds yet but i am using FL4K and the gamma burst pet

[Bankai9212]

Base game easy regardless of build it’s at mayhem 7-11 when issues will arise.

What shield you using? I'm using the messy break up with my pet he clears rooms like crazy when everything is procking right.

Hmm i have never seen that shield yet.
I have no idea what i'm using. Things are not really optimized yet. For a while i was using a shield that converted shock damage to shields but i grew out of it. Now i just have a basic blue shield with a lot of shield health. Probably not a lot but the most i have seen so far
