    Pearls need to be incredibly rare, and best in slot for their particular roll. Either for having completely out of the box unique effects, or just really powerful stats. Either way ever Pearl should be S tier.

      Having something so rare be best in slot just because of raw numbers would create an overly centralized meta, but I'm absolutely in favor Pearl's that have completely off the walls over the top bonkers crazy effects. The reward for farming these exceedingly rare itens shouldn't just be pure power, but a joyful spectical to behold, the kind of thing that completely redefines what gunplay even is. When someone is weilding a Pearl, it should be unmistakably different than any normal gun.

      ​@@EmeralBookwiseAgreed. I would prefer to have no pearls at all than to make them absolutely the best choices in the game mathematically. There either gotta be some type of tradeoff going on or just make them even more unique in their gimmicks then legendaries ever were

    • @theobell2002
      @theobell2002 9 หลายเดือนก่อน

      No. Pearls should not be best in slot. That would make the game super boring as it would destroy any sort of build diversity. I like it more when guns have a particular niche role to fill. Like the Carnage in BL2. It's not very good on most characters but shines on Krieg due to proccing Blood Bath.

  • @treystamm585
    @treystamm585 11 หลายเดือนก่อน +18

    Carnage is actually also a returning shotgun from bl1. It could appear as any rarity and always had the flavour text of “HOLY CRAP IT SHOOTS ROCKETS!”, and funnily it had a chance to appear on some of the legendary shotguns and would replace the red text with that message.

    • @ORLY911
      @ORLY911 10 หลายเดือนก่อน

      What was cool about BL1 was parts that changed how the gun worked or legendary parts wasnt limited to the barrel like it was in BL2 and 3, it could be different parts. Like how he mentioned the Nemesis Invaderis the Nemesis barrel spawned with the Invaders scope. That cant happen in BL2 because all legendary parts are barrels, so no mix matching is possible.

    Pearls feel like the perfect solution to legendaries becoming more common.
    With them, legendaries can become the semi-rare items that you can get relatively easily just to have fun using them in end game, and pearls can become the SUPER rare items for people that want to farm something a lot rarer.

    • @Cashew1405

    Won't lie, during my time playing BL2, I have not spent much time playing UVHM, let alone OP levels save for maybe 2 characters (Krieg and Sal), so my Pearl experience is very limited... BUT.
    I freaking adore the Butcher. It's a shotgun which feels like a high kick assault rifle which also has ammo regen on top of it, the damage is there even in BL3, the skin is nice, the reference is neat, it's just AWESOME.
    The Unforgiven, as a concept, would be my favorite, if the damage was like 10-100x higher, it was a masher, and it wasn't the only one or one of the few Jakobs weapons which do not have the Jakobs-signature "fanning the hammer" AKA firing as fast as you click mechanic. TPS Luck Cannon feels more like a powerhouse than it does...

    • @Cashew1405
      @Cashew1405  11 หลายเดือนก่อน +3

      Yes to all this man! Unforgiven would be peak if it didn't have the shit delay and accuracy debuff when trying to spam.

    • @minhducnguyen9276
      @minhducnguyen9276 10 หลายเดือนก่อน

      ​@@Cashew1405 My take on why pearl weapons are not as unique as they are supposed to be is because most of them don't have special effects that compensate for the inherent weakness of their weapon classes or manufacturers unlike some well known blue rarity or legendaries. The Twister for example, does exactly what a quad shotgun normally does but it also has a splash damage making it synergize with explosive boosting skills and it has the shock element making it suitable for breaking shields, something a Jakob shotgun normally can't do. The problem with most pearlscene weapons is that they are trying to do what their weapon classes are already doing but better. This however has a diminishing return.

  • @keynanmartinez

  • @Forestxavier20
    @Forestxavier20 11 หลายเดือนก่อน +6

    I'll be quite honest, Pearls seem like a weird mixed bag to me as someone who doesn't have the nostalgia of grinding for pearls in BL1.
    Like, the concept is great, and the execution in BL2 is better, but making a weapon that good seems extremely hard without accidentally destroying any variety taken by players. Once you get a pearl, unless you get a better roll of the same thing, you are likely never gonna give that pearl up for something else. I think that's kind of the main issue that you run into. If you have something like the Grog Nozzle, it's always going to be chosen over any other option.

    • @Cashew1405
      @Cashew1405  11 หลายเดือนก่อน +2

      I see your point but pearls ARE actually that balanced in bl1. They're hard to get, yes. They're the best guns in the game, yes. But that doesn't mean the legendaries aren't still good. They're are alot of times where I'd choose a gun like the unforgiven over a pearl for a certain situation or enemy type and the same valence can be achieved again.

    • @mr.breadman4181
      @mr.breadman4181 9 หลายเดือนก่อน

      Well I mean they are the hardest to get guns in the game You either have to finish one of the hardest You either have to finish one of the harder DLCs And then fight one of the hardest bosses for ungodly amount of time so I expect a really good weapon out of it

    • @DwWarWolf
      @DwWarWolf หลายเดือนก่อน

      Solution. Pearlescents are rare *and* best in slot *but* they are limited like exotics in Destiny or Division 2. Now I didn't like the change to exotics in Div2 but that's because all the cool guns are exotics. Borderlands is filled with cool guns and having pearls be the equivalent of exotics while still letting you use fun legendaries would be ideal. Also pearls outside of weapons would be nice. Like imagine a pearl shield that has the capacity of a turtle and the health bonus of an adaptive but having it equipped means no bekah or butcher.

  • @glassofwater281

    I was a HUGE fan of the Bekah, Godfinger, and Unforgiven on my OP10 Maya character. Sure they weren't good against robots, but anything with a decently large crit spot got fucking shredded

    • @Cashew1405
      @Cashew1405  11 หลายเดือนก่อน +4

      I agree that that would've been fun apart from unforgiven lol. Especially on OP10. The accuracy loss if you try to spam it is so bad even with its awful delay between shots... if I wanted to carefully aim for high crit dmg I'd use an ar or a sniper lmao

    • @minhducnguyen9276
      @minhducnguyen9276 10 หลายเดือนก่อน +2

      Ironically the Bekah became my de facto sniper rifle because it has the characteristics that mimic the most powerful sniper rifle in the game, the Lyudmila, while having the ammo pool of the assault rifle class making it ideal for mobbing at long distance.

  • @GannettSwan
    @GannettSwan 10 หลายเดือนก่อน

    Storm is mad powerful with Gaige. For some reason the shock DoT on the Storm is boosted by damage buffs(unlike ANY other weapon in the game...). Those are then multiplied by slag for even nicer damage, but then, the clincher, electrical burn adds a burn effect with the same exact damage THAT GETS MULTIPLIED BY SLAG AGAIN. So you get nine times the damage from that dot burn. And of course, DOTs aren't reduced by Close Enough, so you can never even miss. Pretty crazy.

    • @Cashew1405
      @Cashew1405  10 หลายเดือนก่อน

    honestly the easiest way to make pearls great is to have 2 rarities for endgame
    pearls are the 0.01% dropchance worlddrops that are the best weapons of the bl franchise without nerfs, since there isnt a dedicated way to farm 1 they can be absurdly powerful
    and
    seraphs as raidboss rexclusives / reaidboss vendor
    for special gear like dual element weapons, shields, or reserved for broken abilities like the redestributors effect where you connect enemies and deal dmg to them
    with this you could so easily get ppl to farm 2 seperate things in endgame and be rewarded for it

    • @Cashew1405
      @Cashew1405  9 หลายเดือนก่อน

      Like i said in the video, I think pearls deserve to have a really low drop chance from the endgame content. Mainly so it gives you a reason to want to play the endgame. BL3 fails this because all the Takedown gear while good when it first came out got so power crept and nerfed that there is actually no reason to want to do them besides test a build.

      I see what your saying but I think pearls shouldn't be easy to get in any way. I did make a video that covered what I wanted them to be (bl4 pitch).
      If pearls are done right, then every single one of them would be completely broken and could destroy almost anything in the game. Them being super rare makes it so that the game rewards you for putting your hours in and you can beat whatever the game throws at you. An example I like to use is Super Sonic in Sonic 2. Your first few times playing through that game you won't be good enough at it to unlock super sonic but after you've played the game a ton you can and will unlock them earlier and earlier each playthrough just letting you zoom through the game

    tl;dr they're either broken or redundant, take your pick but you can't have "conducive to a healthy and varied endgame" or "have a valid reason to exist outside of ooh shiny".
    The problem with Pearls is that they're not designed to work in Borderlands' progression and their inclusion places them at an awkward crossroad between overpowered and redundant. Borderlands' loot progression isn't inherently linear, there are different options within the highest loot tier(s) and ideally all options should be equally usable with the right build, and this is where Pearlescents, and by extension Seraphs and Effervescents, find themselves at odds with the game's progression. Pearlescents, being a rarity above Legendary, need to be more powerful to reflect the effort required to get them, however that makes them centralising to the endgame as you would be stupid not to use them over anything else if they're more powerful; alternatively, pearlescents are made to be comparable to legendaries, this makes them redundant as they might as well just be legendaries if all you're doing is making legendary items but the name is cyan or pink or rainbow coloured instead.
    This is where Gearbox made a solid choice in trimming the fat off the Loot Tier system in Borderlands 3, in theory at least. By removing rarities above legendary they could instead make new items stay within the power scale of what's expected from legendary loot and focus on making items that open up new build possibilities rather than make existing build possibilities redundant or bloating out the loot system.

    • @Cashew1405
      @Cashew1405  11 หลายเดือนก่อน

      Thanks for taking the time to write all that.
      I think that when pearls are rare enough they ARE the endgame. A reward at the end of the game for sinking hours and hours into it. I don't think you should look at pearls as needing to be balanced. The point of them is to be broken and be able to demolish everything in the game with it.
      I cut this part out of the vid but I compared it to super sonic in the old genesis games if you ever played those. If you were good enough at the game and sunk enough time into it and learned all the routs and whatnot you would unlock super sonic early and blast through the rest of the game. Pearls should be the same I think

    • @sporemaster9108
      @sporemaster9108 11 หลายเดือนก่อน

      @Cashew1405 Valid point, especially if you consider that in every game some of the best in slot picks are uniques or purple rarity items, it doesn't matter if some items get more power than others as long as other items are still usable. I think it ultimately comes down to personal perspective on balance and that the Borderlands series is a primarily PvE game so it doesn't, maybe even shouldn't, be trying to achieve a level playing field in that regard

      ​@@Cashew1405 i call the lootlemon rates BS. something completely doesnt add up. my experience is around 800 lance chests at most, which are around 40 armory runs per pearl. pretty consistent. even if i use the 0.011% per weapon, i get 173 armory runs per pearlescent or 478 runs if i use per chest, far higher than most numbers ive seen or experienced myself. (average of 2,75 weapons per lance chest and 19 repeatably/fast lance chests per armory glitch, you technically can get 22 per nade jump run, but in my testing, the overall CPM is lower if you go for the 3 leftover chests (bc they are further away and thus less efficient).
      also, craw is FAR, FAR slower to get pearls.
      i would say at minimum 8x, prolly more like 50x slower. yes, you got a higher pearl rate, yes you can farm him a handful of times, but for me, the hard limit is 7 runs and the safe limit is 3-4 runs. the game never crashed at 3 kills in a row, but guaranteed crashed for me at the 8th kill. (too many weapons i guess). so to not crash, i had to exist and re drive back to his lair. then even with THE highest damage output in the game (perfect wrath or perfect anarchy lilith) he takes at least like 10-15 seconds to kill, no to mention all the ways you have to run and drive the elevator up.
      TLDR: nade jump is the fastest, then standard drive to armory, then craw.

    I just never understood the appeal of grinding for loot post-game. You grind bosses/chests so you can get better loot to... what? Kill bosses better? So you get better loot to kill bosses, to get better loot to kill bosses, to get better loot to kill bosses, for infinity. If you've already beaten the bosses once, then how is it any more satisfying a second time when they only get easier and easier the better the loot you get? Sorry, I just never understood the appeal of the grindy endgame. Pearlescents don't really matter if you can't really earn them until you've completed all the challenges.

    • @Cashew1405
      @Cashew1405  5 หลายเดือนก่อน

      It all works in moderation. Pearls are a great endgame activity since they're rare and are the best in the game. Yes your grinding boss's just to fight them again but if the endgame is big enough and there's lots to do, that's not a problem.
      In bl2 we'll kill the same raid boss' over and over and in bl3 we'll do the Maliwan Takedown over and over because it's fun. The loot from both aren't actually that great, not at endgame atleast.
      Pearls would be a reason to DO the endgame and a good reward to use against the games hardest challenges. I do agree with you though, Pearls should never be mandatory.

    90% of them are shock lol. And shock is trash 90% of the time.

      Shick was just my element of choice for the video. The only one that's locked to shock is the storm.

      Shock is neutral on most enemies. So no, it's not.
