Overpower levels : Is it worth it ?

[Mortred]

The first question is : Is it worth to spend that time to do the same thing 8 times ?
I already played it as 61 Maya and it's just another "Arena", but without decent reward (except skin and head customization). Yeah, it is pretty challenge, but with it comes second question/problem :
As a total opposite of a first game in gear leveling, the higher level means higher gap between each level. That means : When you are level 30 you can use purple high-end turtle shield for about 5-6 levels, but when you are level 55 with a purple high-end turtle shield, you get one-shoted at level 57 by most enemies. Honestly, I am not much fan of farming loot and I am totally not fan of farming loot after every level up and I don't want to use Bee shield all the time.

I'll appreciate all your (non-idiotic :D ) opinions, experience, tips...

I think you answered your own question.

[rresuggan]

if you dont use bee, dont complain.

Yes, it is worthy, because it's a good challenge and because to play all the campaign as OP 8 with gear OP 8 is a blast.

[惨めさにハマる]

Not worth for me because some enemies can get up to 70% damage reduction making Raid Bosses at OP8 almost impossible for solo players IMO. Unless you want a good challenge and have lots of time to spend farming for new items, i think you should try it.

Edit: Maybe Raid Bosses aren't really that invincible, but you will still waste alot more time and that's something i dont like XD

I have solo'ed already Pete and Terra OP8, it was so exciting like the trenches warfare at Verdun, WW1, but it's possible. Still didn't try other bosses, Vora, Master Gee or the Dragons will be more difficult, that's sure.

Don't even bother trying to solo the raid dragons in Assault on Dragons Keep OP8. It's beyond insane. I tried 3 times with Axton and I was destroyed in like 2 seconds lol

how do you select OP levels?

It should be a prompt (starting game) once you reach your first level. Just turn it up or down.

Even non-OP Dragons are very hard with Axton i image OP8 o.O

Not at all. :D I like challenge, but I do not want to farm loot every level up to experience that challenge, that's why I want to know, how bad is it. I mean, if you really need to farm all the time to get through it.

"Non-idiotic", by that I meant : It has begining, middle, end, or at least two of that, but mostly : It has a point. Geez...

Isn't that totally same as playing all campaign as level 72 ? :D I mean, it is such a huge difference ?

When you play as OP8, you are playing at level 72+8=80. So the enemies are in and around +/- level 80. I'm pretty sure from what I've seen personally.

I know how "overpower level" works. I just don't see much difference between 72 and 80. What I mean : When you are level 72 Badass bandit has 20 mil. HP and your Jakobs Sniper has 300K dmg. When you are level 80 Badass bandit has 400 mil. HP and your sniper has 6 mil dmg. See what I mean ? (of course those number are wrong, but that was just example :D )

[WaxxFetish]

Nah, you're wrong.

Because of the level gap between you and your enemies, they have tons of damage resistance. Due to that resistance and for whatever reason increased health regen you're forced to use the Bee to be able to get past them. Forget about stacking elemental damage. You're not going to stack enough to counter that regen itself.
