Having team mates means someone can cover you for at least a moment.
If these mobs are trash you can always just push them. The Crossbow can do it without dodging because its pre-loaded. For elites you have to be quicker but a Blunderbuss isn’t going to dodge elites well anyway. Nor would a Handgun, Kruber’s Longbow, the Repeater Handgun, Kerillian’s Longbow, any of Sienna’s staffs etc.
This is getting pretty far off field at this point. If you don’t dodge w/ ranged weapons out then that’s fine. I do because it’s more efficient than weapon swapping and pushing to get off reloads. At this point let’s agree to disagree.
I edited my other post to specifically say with the crossbow. I dodge plenty with Bluntsman, and Ballmancer (lol), just not with something like RV crossbow.
Yes
I disagree to agree to disagree with your proposal of agreeing to disagree.
(This discussion has been kind of similar to the age old debates of Shade or Handmaiden, best or worst case scenario).
It was actually quite useful to me just this last game, so yeah.
I was BH and had to kite a bunch of Shield Stormvermin while shooting Rasknitt, more dodges might have been useful.
Probably not useful in many cases though.
That’s a scenario where super high dodge weapons like BoP definitely shine. Fighting shields as BH is already pretty difficult.
