I feel like vats builds are still almost exactly where they were pre patch. The 11x hp of the bosses is probably the major reason why solo kills are way slower now
@dynastyjumpzz they nurfed critical damage to, and yes the bosses have more damage resistance to that is why I hit him with the syringe first and I have tank killer to if not you can't even kill him
They specifically changed bosses to not only have 3x the amount of health but also all critical hits no longer by pass the armour of the bosses. (this is why pre patch crit builds would decimate bosses as each crit was bypassing the 80% damage reduction that Earle has)
@@fivenotewonder They removed damage mitigation and added more health; V.A.T.S. Crits were able to completely ignore the damage mitigation, which is why they melted bosses. Now melee weapons are good options when it comes to bossing, and melee weapons are the fastest bossing weapons since crits are not needed for boss melts anymore. Big guns still suffer due to the fact that AP cost is very high and there is no sneak damage, but they are a lot closer to the competitors than before. I also think Anti Armor was better before the changes and still is the best when it comes to boss kills.
Nice run! I think people said that bc your thumbnail said solo boss build but didn't solo a boss in it. Props for dropping earl without PA its nice that he doesent regen health anymore if you die in it solo ! Super nice change this update!
@GlassGamingGG yes you are right and thank you 😊, yes its nice that he doesn't regen but he's very strong and tanky know if he regen it will be un killable onld him was really ez to solo
Hi Smashy thanks for the video, it’s nice to see that you can still solo bosses after the latest update. You forgot to show us what legendary specials you were using, but at a guess 5 x special boosters, follow through and poison resist. Also I’m not sure if you mentioned what armor and prefixes etc. Well done soloing Earle.
@Phill16s thank you 😊 and true I forgot so show those 2🤦 but the legendary just like you said poison resistance and follow through then and Luck, strength, Agility, perception you can change them out the way you want but make sure to have follow through and poison resistance those 2 are important
@@Phill16s and for armor ypu should have unyinding for first star then second star you can choose between prisoner's or powered and for third star you can choose between having cavalier and sentinel together or secret Agents and what I recommend is unyielding powered sentinel for chest and secret agent for 2 leg and 2 arm
@@smashysnow Hi again Smashy, I thought that you would be using unyielding secret service armor. You would laugh at my setup, legs and arms is basic leather armor, chest is silver lining and I use a basic fixer and basic railway rifle. All my legendary specials are just special boosters maxed out. I’m at level 310 on this character. I only hold onto one time legendary items which are all normally in my stash.
@Phill16s now you can craft legendary you can little by little get the weapon and armors that you need need a grind but the grind will be fun when you ech time makes an upgrade that fills really fun and for legendary perk you can use anything you want really but for boss fight having follow through is a must and for earl poison resistance helps but you can go without it but I recommend having it
Change to aligned long barrel, and forceful stock. Bruising and stabilized do nothing for a vats build. In addition changing your stock will double your weapon condition bar and give you one less repair during the fight. What armor are you running, obviously Unyielding but what 2nd and 3rd stars? Sorry if you said in the video i watched without sound as everyone else was sleeping and headphones are broken.
@Average1212 no worries 😊 the armor That I had was xp armor at the end of the video I found out that I forgot to change it 😅 but the armor that I have for boss fight is unyielding powered sentinels for chest and the legs and arms unyielding powered secret agent's
@David__________ 2 defrent seringer 1 of them spawn bugs so I can kill for adrenalin that's 60% damage and the other seringer reduces the boss damage resistance by 25% that's very important since they have increased damage resistance now
You’re missing quite a bit bro. At least for perks because that’s all I paid attention to. You sound be doing this at night in game so you can equip Mr sandman and gain ALOT more sneak damage. Also what are your legendary cards? You did not show them
@@powreful4972 I know about mister sand man but I can't use it already have 15 points on agility and this build is a daily solo run I have another video about it people said solo earl with it that's why I'm soloing earl mister sand man is only good for night and this build is evry day solo combat build but great remarks from you👍 and yes I for got to show the legendary build I'm always forgetting something 😅 but I think I had follow through funky duds then some specials I think
@@smashysnow with all that being said, any enemy with high DR including bosses especially now with their bump from 300DR to 1000dr, anti armor dishes out a significant amount more damage than bloodied. Give that a shot and do it at night with sandman. Get that min max result bro
@powreful4972 true the damage resistance they have is unbelievable 😢 earl got 1700 but I used tank killer and the syringe tp reduced his damage resistance and the fixer have anti armor mod to i reduce his damage resistance by alot and the syringe even stacks so if you bring 1 or 2 friends with you his damage resistance will be negative

What u think quad or bloodied will be better roll for bosses ?
@@GameTrail3rTV quad
@GameTrail3rTV bloodied is better for everyday play but on boss fight quad is better
is the Syringer gun really needed? How much does it increase your damage?

Try a Gauss rifle?
@@nickkozak4763 that would be interesting
@@smashysnow i have a bloodied explosive Gauss. it does a few thousend per crit
@nickkozak4763 then I'll try to get my hands on one I like BE15c I thing that would be nice
@@smashysnow get a quad gauss rifle too. it’s useful sometimes for frits in succession but less damage
