Does this Playthrough Plan work for Borderlands 2 TVHM? (links.dartboard.social)

Hey guys, I've been trying to find the ideal playthrough order for Borderlands 2 to also maximize the fun my partner and I have and the advice on the internet is all over the place but the important part seems to be just don't over level yourself in TVHM. We just beat the main game and then went directly to Tiny Tina's DLC because we needed a break from just doing the story again so decided to do the extra content. I chose that one because I heard there's good equipment in it. So would this order work?

  1. Normal game
  2. Start TVHM
  3. Play Tiny Tina's Assault on Dragon keep <--- we're here (level 36)
  4. Catch up in the main story until the levels of the missions catch up (not sure if we over-leveled ourself in the main story by playing this DLC so that's why I put this here) playing only the main story to avoid too much experience (maybe the occasional side mission with an item I or my partner enjoyed, like Lilith's shield or the hilarious talking robot shield?)
  5. Play some other DLC (probably Torgue's because now that I met him in Tiny Tina's, he seems hilarious)
  6. Rush through rest of the main story and hope we get to the end of TVHM close to level 50.
  7. Start UVHM
  8. Play all the DLC we didn't play before now that it will automatically scale with us
  9. I doubt we'll have the patience to play the whole main story again at this point, so we'll probably move on to the The Pre-Sequel. We've got 3 more Borderlands games to play after all.

Does that seem like a good plan?

Thanks!

Thanks for the advice! So you think I shouldn't necessarily do the second DLC in TVHM? I should see based on my level and stuff? Only issue is I'm unsure how much experience they give. So far Tiny Tina's DLC is a lot longer than I thought it would be lol. I think I've only gained 2 or so levels so far, though.

You should be ok to do torgue dlc if you stick to the dlc story quests (sidequests are kinda meh here imo). But yeah you should be ok since you're skipping main game sidequests.
