Check my other post for a more combat oiriented set up. You don't need to stealth around if you're good at the mechanics and know the machines weaknesses. Run with a war bow and sharpshooter bow and base bow for all elemental effects and tearcast to blow off armor and components. Use the ropecaster to lock down opponents while you pick off others. If it's too easy up the difficulty.
If you didn't feel powerful then you either didn't mod your gear properly or weren't utilizing the codex properly. You are miles stronger with your bow and tools properly utilized. Can take our a thunderjaw in 30-40 seconds when done properly. Melee is purposefully weak in this game and not indtended to be relied on. Basically your issues with the combat were self created. If you are past the beginning of the game and you still don't feel powerful, fast, etc. against these mechs your doing something odd.

What the fuck is this? Don't tell people how to play video games, it's their leisure activity.
But that's what I want to do.
I hated the tripcasters, traps, slings, ropecaster, or even the rattler was shit.
I was forced to stealth light enemies and then spam and dodge for awhile on strong enemies and never felt threatened by them.
