Seriously WTF is this pay2win DLC GARBAGE!
So i can buy items i cant use on the Black Market Machine which happen to be INSANELY overpowered compared to the gear that i have access to normally despite having even a lower item level as i am using right now... WTF is this p2win/pay for gear garbage gearbox? That is SCUMBAGGERY! Cosmetic only my a...... You just hid the crap in a DLC thats overpriced for its content to force people to buy that DLC (Directors Cut) to remain competitive in general?
A shield with 20000 points insanely nice bonusses and afflixes at 450 which i cant use becauise i dont have the DLC but the game allowed me to purchase it for 800k in the vending machine? Screw this crap guys...im outta here..last Borderlands game ive ever bought.

I don't quite understand what you mean?
are these items somehow better than the items you get from Bosses on mayhem 10/11?

instead of saying "a shield" you should say the name of the shield.
My shield has 43k base shields - Mines called Front Loader and it also uses 60% of my HP to increase my shields.
I've got 153k shields with perks...

PS , I don't own directors cut

Its a completely unnecessary DLC - the only reason I'd consider getting it is for the Raid Boss

I just soloed Wotan the Invincible on Mayhem 11 - No Black Market needed.

Pay to win in an offline single player game with mods and no anti cheat.

Ok.

Pay to win? If you buy the game and play it you can win it.

A lot are garbage but everything in the game was solo'ed at M10 before season pass 2 op gear came out, season pass 2 stuff just made it easier to solo everything without min maxed builds.

even using base-game legendaries is enough for pretty much anything besides soloing Hemivirous or the Guardian Takedown

Let's face it, this game is pretty easy. It so needs a UVHM instead of the Mayhem system.

Would recommend Killersix for vanilla BL3 builds, he's just recently done a bunch of videos dedicated to base game loot. Still keeping them in contention to the weapons that are in the dlc's

They both do effectively the same thing, BL3 is just power creeped, specifically M10 weapons and skills.

The true trial of instinct still takes some time, even with Moze. I wouldn't call M10/11 True Guardian Takedown easy.

There is some vanilla gear that still works great. The DLCs just introduced variety in gear.

I found out today that the Black Market sells legendaries from anywhere.
The black market itself isn't DLC at all...
So the OP is specifically talking about the shield which comes in the Directors cut - NOT the black market.

Quite simple really...
Use another awesome legendary shield - which doesn't require DLC.
There are many

you can shred in M10/11 with non DLC gear...
