real oracle
#

my damage comes from move speed

leaden stag
#

I like Zane, Fl4k kinda feels boring

#

havent tried moze nor amara too much

real oracle
#

have not tried zane, dont really enjoy flak that much

#

i have 4 amaras and 2 moze

leaden stag
#

is moze as braindead as they say

#

I only skip her cause of an inherent distante for mechas

wind token
cunning sable
#

no thats amara

real oracle
wind token
#

probably depends on if you consider early or late game i guess

real oracle
#

moze is also stronger outside of IB than in it

wind token
#

nothing is really "braindead" if you have no skills and no gear

real oracle
#

at least, when you optimize

cunning sable
#

thers Cub anayway

wind token
real oracle
cunning sable
#

I wonder if Cub was made because of the April Fools Bear turning small

real oracle
#

same deal wit the funny math

leaden stag
#

I forgor what immolate was

real oracle
#

the maya skill with bonus fire based on damage dealt

#

short fuse is very similar except that

leaden stag
#

oh right

wind token
real oracle
#

it double dips fire damage, slag, dr and elemental match ups

#

short fuse is also a double dip but funnier

wind token
real oracle
#

yes

wind token
#

isnt that relatively bad then?

#

for op0 sounds busted though

real oracle
#

it still instantly kills terra

wind token
#

on op10???

#

man i know so little about maya

#

back when i played maya all i knew was beehawk and pimpernel with the CR class mod

real oracle
#

the timing is strict cuz you have to get ruin and then instantly go into ffyl but

wind token
#

i genuinely think that krieg is much easier than maya if you know what you're doing

signal stump
#

or just

#

bug abuse

wind token
#

like, i dont struggle with any content

#

and i struggled a lot with bossing on maya

#

but maybe that's comparing "knowing much on krieg" with "knowing not so much on maya"

signal stump
#

raid bossing?

wind token
#

general

#

all i did for bossing back then was beehawk so

signal stump
#

I mean the minibosses can all be phaselocked for an easy kill

#

the story mode bosses are pretty tame for the most part

wind token
#

yeah but like, guns

signal stump
#

maybe like BA rex

#

could be annoying

wind token
#

as i said, i used beehawk for most stuff

#

but i recently said up a fresh op0 savefile for maya so i might look into properly building her soon enough

real oracle
wind token
#

also set up a fresh op0 for axton

signal stump
#

you can use bee for mobbing on maya

wind token
#

i'm aware

signal stump
#

probably best with pimpernel not sandhawk though

wind token
#

but i want to be more versatile and not just have "this one gear" that i use for everything

#

i love how i can just swap in and out everything on krieg by knowing what synergizes with what

#

i just feel like i dont have that knowledge (yet) on maya

signal stump
#

you also can just

real oracle
#

maya's synergies are like uhh

signal stump
#

legendary cat

real oracle
#

you kinda just shoot

signal stump
#

and normal shield

wind token
#

i dont think you understand, fang

signal stump
#

like blockade

real oracle
#

i go legendary siren because i hate the cat 😁

signal stump
real oracle
#

maya really do be copying amara

#

doing more damage with her skills than guns

signal stump
#

realish

cunning sable
signal stump
#

ngl I forget any other maya build

leaden stag
#

I only like bee mobbing on gaige

signal stump
leaden stag
#

cause she can shoot from anywhere

real oracle
leaden stag
#

haha bouncy bullets

real oracle
#

subsequence, and then the thoughtlock version of subsequence

#

backdraft

signal stump
#

oh yeah forgot about that

wind token
#

helios mozeRotating

signal stump
#

bouncy phaselock build

real oracle
#

and then they're all worse than just using a generic maya build with just ruin and life tap

wind token
#

not sure if helios might lowkey work with subsequence on op0

signal stump
#

prob would

real oracle
#

maybe

#

it's still missing the linear 2% part but

wind token
#

man i love op0 for this

leaden stag
#

would amaraSmug

wind token
#

i had a sal in vc the other day and he also talked about how much op10 killed builds and then i was so happy again to play on op0

signal stump
#

people harp on that too much

#

op10 improved build diversity in some ways, eliminated build redundancy in others

real oracle
#

tbh much of it was already dead

signal stump
#

the real build is just

leaden stag
#

I like speedy maya and shooty maya

signal stump
#

morningstar stacking

#

boom

#

where’s your build diversity now

leaden stag
#

I think the phaselock variation is stupid and dumb

signal stump
#

thoughtlock is cool

real oracle
#

bl2 shoulda had easily swappable augments frfr

signal stump
#

I did thoughtlock once

#

honestly very good with backdraft maya

#

backdraft maya has horrible defenses

real oracle
#

backdraft is just worse body and m-

signal stump
#

so you need thoughtlock to save yourself

signal stump
real oracle
#

i fucking hate maya zaneLUL

cunning sable
#

At this rate your just gonna turn maya into Amara

real oracle
#

why do i main this class

cunning sable
#

Cope?

real oracle
#

then again, ive clocked like 80 hours into bl3 last 2 weeks so theres my answer

signal stump
#

if only you could phaselock story and raid bosses

#

wouldnt even be that broken tbqh

leaden stag
#

diminishing returns would make that useless anyway

signal stump
#

yeah

real oracle
#

just lower the deminishing returns mozeHueh

tiny thorn
#

@north condor
Shotgun & Melee Zer0

leaden stag
#

phaselock son of crawmerax

signal stump
#

i think they were just worried about breaking bosses’ scripted events

#

if they were phaselocked

leaden stag
real oracle
#

just make it so phaselock related skills still apply

#

for the duration of the phaselock

signal stump
#

yeah

real oracle
#

zeta did that

i wonder what vh she got that idea from

signal stump
#

aurelia

real oracle
#

oh for sure

signal stump
leaden stag
#

nah just grab son of cramwrax

cunning sable
#

Maya casually phaselocking an entire train (definitely not bl3)

north condor
signal stump
#

shotgun zer0 is just

real oracle
#

maya's biggest personality change was scorn being fire in bl3

leaden stag
#

Lilith doing some eridium meth and tping a whole town

real oracle
#

that's it

signal stump
#

you have a shotgun for some reason

leaden stag
#

Im ngl scorn is prettier than useful

#

just like the veritas

signal stump
#

not much else with synergy on zer0, he has some accuracy bonuses and can make a single shot hurt

signal stump
leaden stag
#

you have the action skill and twofang kinda

#

also one shot one kill

signal stump
#

how are you slagging without phaselock

#

scorn

leaden stag
#

gun

signal stump
#

ew

leaden stag
#

nade

signal stump
#

maya has no swap time

real oracle
#

tbh you just go scorn cuz it's not like anything else in her tree is useful

signal stump
#

yeah but if you’re gonna commit nade

#

why not just use scorn

cunning sable
#

Not always up

signal stump
#

scorn will slag better

#

use UCP mozeHueh

tiny thorn
signal stump
#

ucp buff for scorn is nice

#

10 sec cd

real oracle
#

scorn isnt great i do agree, like it's mid

#

but mid in a maya build?

#

better than most things already lmao

leaden stag
#

cooldown fans when random guy on 1000 ping chucks down 9 scorns in a row

cunning sable
#

Relying on mods to. Make something better smh

signal stump
#

but tbh

#

I played her before without ucp

#

scorn at 18 sec is fine

real oracle
#

it's just fine

signal stump
#

quasar into scorn

#

classic pseudo phaselock

leaden stag
#

my buggati is acting weird

tiny thorn
real oracle
#

phaselocks cooldown is faster so you can just like

#

weave them

signal stump
#

yeah

#

exactly

signal stump
#

it’s so bad

leaden stag
#

shadow of seraph who

#

doesnt it like not even stack with two fang

signal stump
#

only use for it was like

signal stump
leaden stag
#

just works separately

real oracle
#

no it does

signal stump
#

no they’re the same double shot

tiny thorn
#

Seems good...

signal stump
#

it’s just that dps wise

real oracle
signal stump
#

it still is worse than bone of the ancients

real oracle
#

ive brought up that elemental relics are better first

#

you think i havent? mozeHueh

#

like they're straight better in every way

signal stump
#

on top of reducing cd on decepti0n

#

which is even more dps

real oracle
#

well thats cuz the bone is a stupidly designed item

signal stump
#

yes

real oracle
#

but it's in the gameā„¢ļø

leaden stag
#

what did they even add the neverwinter relic for

signal stump
#

and on jakobs shotguns

real oracle
#

funny

leaden stag
#

it has the same values as bone

signal stump
#

they don’t even need double shot

leaden stag
#

and no cooldown

signal stump
#

they can double shot by default

signal stump
#

idk

#

you can use it on krieg

#

since he doesnt care about cooldown

cunning sable
#

Thank you patch by making it 1% better ny giving it fire resistance

So useful

signal stump
#

krieg appreciates it

real oracle
#

oh for sure

tiny thorn
wind token
wind token
leaden stag
#

not really

#

after 2 uses it lasts like 1 second

#

or less

wind token
#

i dont agree with the way some bosses are designed but some bosses are designed to just burst you down, which you could mitigate then

#

plus you could go quad maya

leaden stag
#

Id totally use it to interrupt idiotc AoE attacks

#

not the kind that you can see but rather the hyperius and vora ones

wind token
#

we might find it stupid but it's intended so it would make sense to prevent it

signal stump
#

and that only works against hyperius because he has reflect himself

#

it also is not dependent on phaselock at all really, it’s dependent on having kill skills up

wind token
wheat harbor
#

but yeah i honestly just prefer phaselock active skills just always triggering even if you cant lock the target
just let it deal damage

wind token
#

well one reason might be that they were intended to be beaten with full stack where you have infinite range rez, turrets blocking novas etc

wheat harbor
#

yeh

wind token
wheat harbor
#

raids are very much designed around coop

#

so have a LOT of stuff thats utter bs in solo

wind token
#

i think only raids are really bs?

wheat harbor
wheat harbor
signal stump
#

aurelia did it first

wind token
#

even tps? damn, they really didnt wanna get back to bl2

wheat harbor
wind token
#

which is bl3, no? xD

wheat harbor
#

but dont care about how long its active

wind token
#

NOOOOOOOOOOO why is tps not even installed on my machine

wheat harbor
wind token
#

but yeah i think that's a really nice change in your mod that wreck and co still apply

real oracle
wheat harbor
#

wait are the skills active while the subsequence orb is in the air?

wind token
#

oh that, yeah now i remember what you were mad about

#

that phaselock is more ideally used as a catalyst than actual CC

wind token
#

even though i dont know much about maya gearing i at least should know how the skills work kekW

#

i'll boot up the game real quick and check

#

would be stupid if it didnt apply though

real oracle
#

maya gear is kinda like axton but cut out the guns he abuses with grenade splash

wind token
#

i have a bad feeling...

#

@wheat harbor im not sure if ui icons are overlapping...

#

but it seems this action skill is actually more garbage than i assumed

#

@wheat harbor i intentionally shot the wall before the kill so you can compare fire rate...

#

GOD DAMMIT IT EVEN EXPLICITLY SPECIFIES THAT FACT

#

WHILE YOU HAVE IT PHASELOCKED, NOT WHILE PHASELOCK IS ACTIVE

wheat harbor
#

yeaahh

wind token
#

this is amazing

#

ah elated also works the same way šŸ™‚

#

TIL i guess

wheat harbor
#

honestly makes me wonder if subsequence is even worth it in vanilla

#

over going just full phaselock cooldown

wind token
#

you could argue that it ultimately doesnt matter because with subsequence you want to shoot what you phaselock anyway but still

#

it restricts the usability of it way more than it has to

wind token
rough galleon
#

I use Subsequence with Thoughtlock and Helios spamming but otherwise I dont like Subsequence myself LOL

wheat harbor
wind token
#

this is what i quickly drafted

wind token
wheat harbor
#

ah yeah with 5/5 subsequence

#

otherwise no

wind token
#

yeah

#

so for that augment it probably doesnt matter but it still triggers me

wheat harbor
#

still sucks that you need 5 points just to make subnsequence reliable

wheat harbor
#

flicker is
borderline useless

wind token
wheat harbor
#

fair

wind token
#

but what was the issue with it, oh it only multiplied the chance instead of adding it?

wheat harbor
wind token
#

* 1.3 instead of + 0.3?

wheat harbor
tardy horizon
#

So new here and I came back to borderlands 3 after some time and kind of forgot about the dup glitch for keys so I used the 6 or 7 diamond keys available like a dumbass and can't really find more. Did I screw my myself

wind token
wheat harbor
#

i mean
its the same as basically any other stat boost

#

ig people just think its additive because dot chance is already a %

wind token
#

BROOOOOOOOO

#

back to my old trauma

#

i tried to forget it...

wheat harbor
#

reaper is
something

wind token
#

no not that

#

no single good skill remaining

wheat harbor
#

ah

#

yeah

wind token
#

well i guess 4/5 flicker it is xD

#

this is my op10 save so helios is not worth it and idk if backdraft even works here

#

and speccing backdraft in a generalist spec is probably also pretty meh

wheat harbor
#

yeahh

#

red tree is whack

#

well
maya is whack

wind token
wheat harbor
#

it doesnt meaningfully do anything for any builds because its such a wide health gap

wind token
#

also BROOOO what is this reload speed

#

this will be an interesting journey when i get back to maya...

wheat harbor
#

compared to it just being a half value bullet damage boost

#

its not enough to be like a one shot skill

#

like bl3's 150/90 anoint

real oracle
wheat harbor
#

also why is reaper a maya skill not zero

wind token
#

because zer0 already has such a skill?

wind token
wind token
#

foresight/reaper/cr are there but so are accelerate/inertia and minds eye/wreck

real oracle
#

like if i dont call it her damage tree then

wind token
#

technically you could count quicken and suspension too as they increase your wreck uptime

real oracle
#

it just has nothing to show flr it

#

like

#

"cataclysm is the tree with foresight, chain reaction, and reaper"

wind token
#

it feels like axton to me, at least from my quick glance yesterday, you have many skills thrown around different trees

real oracle
#

im headed to the doc cuz i needed to fix another mistake i made

wind token
#

left tree is definitely utility tree and middle tree is definitely healing tree

#

but right tree is maybe elemenetal tree, in a way?

#

backdraft does fire(?), blight phoenix does fire, flicker increases dot up time, helios does fire, immolate does fire, cloud kill does corrosive

#

and ruin does all

#

if anything, maya's the fire character after all, not krieg zaneLUL

real oracle
#

this ig?

#

i honestly hate calling it elemental tree cuz it's shit at it and doesnt boost elements

wind token
#

lets her easily apply elements? talking about ruin?

real oracle
#

ig? i honestly have nothing else to realistically say it's kinda a shit tree

wind token
#

just avoid it completely LULW

#

but yeah, i share your point of view that it doesnt have any representative qualities

#

@real oraclewhat would you call axton's trees?

real oracle
#

healing, damage 1 and damage 2

wind token
real oracle
#

damage 2 being left tree cuz its more like utility damage

#

middle is well, it's called gunpowder

wind token
#

i mean, sounds a bit more reasonable but maybe i'm just disappointed because it doesnt feel as unique as krieg's trees

#

i think zer0's trees if i remember them right were also a bit unique

wind token
real oracle
#

man i feel like i shouldnt even include the elemental modifier in the formula section cuz it's always gonna be present anyway, esp if i didnt include slag

wind token
#

for gun builds it's a bit sad ofc but that's moreso because the gun stuff is all injected into both other trees

#

but i like that part, that different trees generally apply a different sort of playstyle

#

like zer0's right tree iirc

real oracle
#

its cuz u havent done pin hands build

wind token
#

it gives them identity, but also doesnt make them utter garbage when not opting into that playstyle (although that's more the case with zer0 right tree than with krieg middle tree i guess)

wind token
wheat harbor
real oracle
wind token
#

can you send the build link

wind token
real oracle
#

in the bottom of the krieg doc

wind token
#

what else is the identity of a tree with 5(?) melee bonuses

real oracle
#

oh ii se what you mean

wind token
real oracle
wind token
#

i dont wanna open the doc

wheat harbor
#

the tree itself i mean

wind token
#

reload build i should say kekW

wind token
wheat harbor
#

its sorta a "in your face tree"
rewarding shield being down, shotgun and melee damage, ect

wheat harbor
wind token
wheat harbor
wind token
#

but with capstone and StV i would still say closer to a melee

#

considering the amount of melee skills it's actually well designed to work well with gun builds too which probably made it into a sort of "in your face" tree

wind token
wheat harbor
#

huh

#

zero doesnt

wind token
#

killing bl0w

wheat harbor
#

oh the melee one

wind token
#

ah it's only melee

wheat harbor
#

thats also the opposite

wind token
#

yeah you can tell how much i played this shitty class

wind token
#

although the one shot potential would fit better to sniper man

#

yeah i now get what you meant

wheat harbor
wind token
#

it's there for bossing i suppose

#

it's insane how fast pyro pete melts once he's in the threshold mozeRotating

real oracle
#

the main great thing about killing blow is that the other 3 skills near it are shit (grim for melee)

wind token
#

so basically, it's great for bossing but it's also not bad for mobbing (because no better skill)

real oracle
#

it's more useful on non melee builds really

wind token
#

or like, just for finishing off stuff

wheat harbor
real oracle
#

yeah finishing stuff off

wind token
wind token
#

what on earth

lunar hound
#

What the fuck is that

lofty flame
#

Rubber duck

lunar hound
#

Oh i forgoy claptrap

wind token
#

yeah i opened my old save

#

and then i started bouncing and reflecting OMEGALUL

lunar hound
#

You left a save mid ability

wind token
#

what?

#

i neither remember nor know anything about skill trees in this game so you need to explain that more if you want me to understand

lunar hound
#

No bc idk

lofty flame
#

(I think it was a joke about how you "opened your save and started bouncing and reflecting")

lunar hound
#

oh im stupid

#

Clappy in that game is an inconsistent mess of a character

wind token
#

it was just an action skill i received kekW

lunar hound
#

ic

#

the rubber duckie one in particular

wind token
real oracle
#

i think when you first spec into a skill that gives a vault hunter exe thingy, it basically almost guarantees you get it next action skill

wind token
#

at least i hope it is

lunar hound
#

Hm

lunar hound
#

Oh

#

that seems broken

#

so the meta basically is store your skill points then spec if necessary?

real oracle
#

what no lmao

#

it just does that

wheat harbor
#

yeah

#

its only used for like niche one shots or something

#

or speedkills

what does it mean

It means you should go outside, it's summer

gritty crater

now look at this bad boy @real oracle mozeRotating

#

automatic query generation is going well

real oracle
#

holy shit

tawdry shell
#

im gonna assume this is something really cool

wind token
wind token
#

main purpose is to calculate gear stats (reload speed, etc) by parts combination and later also involving skills from skill tree

real oracle
#

so that you can check any parts stats lickity split

tawdry shell
#

oh that is really cool

wind token
#

the beauty of this is that we can later get stats of perfect gear for any given game stage

tawdry shell
#

sick

wind token
#

unlike loot lemon which has only perfect op10 gear

real oracle
#

it's cuz we havent had a gear calculator in fucking..decades

#

like the last one was out of date by 2013

wind token
#

man this shit game is already 12 years old

wind token
cunning sable
#

I was 13 12 years ago

wind token
#

i was 13 too

real oracle
#

bruh i was like 8

leaden stag
#

now you are about to feel your bones crunch

cunning sable
wind token
#

this will be great for drop rates later

#

i am running a server on which i could theoretically develop a gear calculator then @real oracle

real oracle
#

well you can make a gear calculator through a spreadsheet but then you have to plug everything in manually šŸ’€

wind token
#

i still have this bare bones page which i never actually implemented but that is how it could look like

wind token
#

first excel, then access, now this giga project

#

but with a webpage it would be accessible to everyone then

fervent rain
#

i got a great mod just cant use it :')

leaden stag

time to make a zero

tiny thorn
#

@torn nova
This is what I have for Sal.
The goal was to increase Fire Rate to get to Money Shot ASAP.

torn nova
#

I mean the damage is there but there's no survivability lol, also 90% of Jakobs weapons don't practically benefit from any fire rate boosts (since they already fire as fast as you can spam your trigger finger)

#

Except for like the Twister or Stinkpot or Unforgiven because they're some of the only weapons that have a slow rate of fire

wheat harbor
torn nova
real oracle
#

huh

#

coulda sworn it was 50%

torn nova
real oracle
#

oops

wheat harbor
real oracle
#

no idea where i got 50% from smh

torn nova
#

Funko opinion = null

leaden stag
#

salvador without speed is foul

torn nova
#

Also damage/survivability > movement imo

#

Unless it's a movement decrease, then not worth trade off

leaden stag
#

isnt incite the one that needs you to take damage for speed

torn nova
#

It is yes

leaden stag
#

yuck

wheat harbor
#

incite is great

#

sal literally face tanks damage all the time

#

itll be always active

torn nova
#

Bus that can't Slow Down you have to be Gunzerking

real oracle
wheat harbor
#

plus reload speed

real oracle
#

L

torn nova
wheat harbor
#

oh

wheat harbor
leaden stag
#

I feel sane, I enjoy salvador the least

#

movement so you can run up to enemies and show them whats up

wheat harbor
#

with shotguns yea

#

or any in your face weapons

#

plus easier repositioning

torn nova
leaden stag
#

Harold is basically a shotgun

wheat harbor
#

kinda

torn nova
#

And Maggie

wheat harbor
#

it has a specific range rather than close as possible

#

harold you dont want to be too close

torn nova
leaden stag
#

Ive shot doc coachs at further ranges than a harold

wheat harbor
torn nova
#

Aka does bullet speed affect it at all

torn nova
wheat harbor
leaden stag
#

iirc zero has better range with it

wheat harbor
torn nova
leaden stag
#

but I havent used harold on zero recently

#

or even used zero

wheat harbor
#

harold is pretty eh on zero

#

its not a critting gun

torn nova
wheat harbor
#

on zero absolutely

real oracle
#

by eh it's still a harold lmao

torn nova
#

And Maya too imo

wheat harbor
#

yeah

real oracle
#

but it's not peak so idc mozeHueh

leaden stag
#

Real ones use a rock double penetrating slapper

wheat harbor
#

lemme find it

torn nova
real oracle
#

she can

leaden stag
#

Is it bad I wanted the veritas to be better just cause it has a pretty skin

wheat harbor
#

that was the logic

torn nova
wheat harbor
#

cause she can lock enemies in place she can reliably actually hit all the pellets

#

plus grouping enmeies up with converge

torn nova
#

That goes the same with any multipellet/crit weapon too tho, no?

real oracle
#

eh

wheat harbor
#

im just meaning for harold users

real oracle
#

depends on if phaselock wants to fuck you over or not

wheat harbor
#

maya is one of the better ones

torn nova
leaden stag
#

use longbow if you hate yourself

wheat harbor
#

not so much meaning harold is the best maya weapon

real oracle
torn nova
real oracle
leaden stag
#

Its painful without bullet speed

wheat harbor
#

its not really

leaden stag
#

zero weapon

torn nova
torn nova
real oracle
#

it's not that bad with bullet speed

torn nova
wheat harbor
real oracle
#

skill issue

leaden stag
#

I have my doubts on if the projectiles follow the crossair

real oracle

smh check the firingpatternlines then

leaden stag
#

I like it against melee enemies but it feels a bit clunky long range

wheat harbor
#

its not a long range weapon

leaden stag
#

anyway just warning you am the kinda guy that hits 7 headshots in a row with it and still complain

wheat harbor
#

but yeah just as much as i like to shit on maya and the dpuh
she kinda gets better more reliable use out of it

#

especially as you can just speed dump with wreck

leaden stag
#

I only see it as a staple for like axton and krieg

wheat harbor
#

on anyone else id just say intense for reliability

leaden stag
#

maybe sal and maya too but like

real oracle
#

i too like the make fun of maya despite her being perfectly suitable for most of the game

leaden stag
#

interfacer generally better

wheat harbor
#

intersnoozer

leaden stag
#

I love speedy maya

#

she is zooming

real oracle
#

the interfacer is great and all but like

#

the conference callis funnier

wheat harbor
#

i honestly never cared for it much

#

its fine but

#

bland

real oracle
#

me when it has penetration

leaden stag
#

butcher is prolly the middle ground

#

I dont get the hype for cc

real oracle
#

so if you have converge and CR mozeHueh

wheat harbor
leaden stag
#

besides shooting big bosses

wheat harbor
#

CC has inssane crowd damage

#

because the bullets pierce enemies

torn nova
#

I like damage prefix on weapons better than fire rate, even if the dps is technically lower. It's more damage per bullet and you don't burn through ammo as fast

real oracle
#

so it just straight up summons extra main pellets

leaden stag
#

I'll try it on gaige some other time

torn nova
#

Except certain SMGs

real oracle
#

cuz the original keeps goin

wheat harbor
#

and the original does actually deal damage so

leaden stag
#

But I generally never use it for mobbing

wheat harbor
#

itll just shred a crowd

#

and enemies with large hitboxes eat up the side pellets

torn nova
#

now laugh

The joke was so bad it made me remember I was gonna make myself some tea

you only need 1 point in thrill of the kill

also light the fuze and pull the pin is ass in op levels

light the fuze is fine in normal mode
ass in tvhm
ok in uvhm
ass in op levels

tiny thorn
#

Ok, so maybe put 5 in Salt the Wound?
I'll have 2 points left

#

And use explosive shotguns?

#

I could also put some in Bloody Revival and use Explosive assault rifles.

sullen totem
#

Redeem the Soul not really needed

#

1 point in Flame Flare is enough cause you already get almost perma uptime cause of delusional damage and raving retribution

#

If you want to use exclusively shotguns replace Fire Fiend with Salt the Wound

Thank you

dude ive been making cursed ass bl3 builds ts is fun as hell

i also only take one point but when doing regular gun mobbing i either have reaper (+5 totk) or torch (which is independant of the com but you get enough dot healing so it's not needed)

yk axtons nuke

thats in bl3 on moze and i made a build around it

Would you guys choose Fire Fiend or Salt The Wound?

You have enough damage anyways

tiny thorn
#

Oooh, ppl are torn

sullen totem
#

I’d say just test it out and see what you like

tiny thorn
#

I mean, it couldn't be worse than playing Gaige .

wind token
#

you also have enough accuracy because of the range you are usually at (or at least i am, for that matter)

#

also hey temmy mozeRotating

sullen totem
#

Hallo

#

I prefer the accuracy because normally if you use explosive weapons you don’t want to be in the face in the face

#

Otherwise you’ll blow yourself up

#

And the reload speed is more noticeable than the damage (lol 500%)

#

But idk I’m a shotgun sniper so I love accuracy

wind token
#

my generalist is this

#

but moving 4 points or even 5 is also fair enough i guess

#

and also better for certain bossing

tiny thorn
wind token
#

alternatives would be FF (which i dislike for aforementioned reasons) and StW (i dont play shotguns too often and if i do they're usually already powerful enough)

#

fwiw i didnt play too much without it so kekW

i thought the only person i knew that was well known in the bl community thats a krieg main was marino

wind token
lunar hound
#

Krieg isnt very popular?

#

Idk if hes the least played or if gaige is

wind token
#

Maya axton are easy for beginners

#

Sal is popular because strong late game

lunar hound
#

Sal is the cheesy cheese charsctef

wind token
#

Zer0 is kinda... you have to like glass cannon

lunar hound
#

Zero is kinds tough but still cheesy given the right circumstances

wind token
#

And then there's krieg gaige

lunar hound
#

Krieg is a tanky dps but its tough to keep that uptime if you have skill issue

wind token
#

I think both need knowledge to be viable but then they become pretty easy

lunar hound
#

Gaige is tough bc her dps also makes you horribly inaccurate

#

which is why the twister is great on her

lunar hound
#

True

wheat harbor
#

3rd after maya then axton

wheat harbor
wind token
wheat harbor
#

whats there to learn

wind token
#

Haven't played her

wheat harbor
#

or know

#

gaige isnt very deep

wind token
#

Idk how complicated building her is

wheat harbor
#

axton is more complicated than gaige

#

gaige is just a noobtrap character with anarchy

#

so i put her third

wind token
#

But since everyone considers her useless with no anarchy i thought its a bit tougher to build

wind token
wheat harbor
#

eehh

#

i more mean over stacking anarchy

#

which is directly in the skill tree

wheat harbor
#

bee hawking is not something youll come across naturally

wind token
#

Fair enough

wheat harbor
#

zero is higly dependant on the specific player

#

sal i honestly want to put last because of how bugridden and non transferable sal stuff is

Fair enough

Everyone is last place

I honestly know too less to properly discuss gaige so

cunning sable

Gaige is

Gaige

Sal gaige and zer0 are the only ones I haven't leveled to 80

#

My zer0 is 50

#

Soon I wanna actually take a look at maya

#

I hate that she was my first character but I never really took the time to learn her and just beehawked instead back then

tiny thorn
#

Would the Evolution or Blockade be good on shotgun Zer0?

wind token
#

I keep hearing that turtles area good on zer0 which implies that he is better at recharging shield than restoring health so that would imply that Adaptive shields aren't too good as they benefit from having both

#

On the other hand it means you have your elemental resistance up more often so maybe im wrong

tiny thorn
#

Yeah, I've heard the same thing about turtles. What's the best turtle besides the Fabled Turtle?
I don't want something that slows my movement.

#

Hoplite?

copper wasp
#

Do note that if you're planning on going into the OP levels with one, you'll also want it at a specific level below you to keep it from sending your health into the negatives

tiny thorn
#

So I want a Maliwan Capacitor, right?
What other parts do I want?

#

This chart I'm looking at looks like:
Pangolin Capacitor
Bandit Recharge
Dahl Delay

# wheat harbor if gaige full anshin

I put the Antagonist on Gaige.
What's the Anshin?

I'm looking for something for Zer0.
I'm trying to make a shield in Gib rn but I'm not getting it right...

lunar hound
#

Speed is funny

wheat harbor
#

i mean anshin parts are good for turtles on gaige

tiny thorn
#

Oh ok, do you think the Antagonist is good on her or better on Zer0?

wheat harbor
#

good on both

#

antagonist kinda good on everyone

tiny thorn
#

If I had to choose 1 and gib a shield for the other? Bc I don't wanna go too nuts here

wind token

Using shields on krieg makes me sad

who cares about slag spikes

thats why the antagonist is so good

#

I mean @wheat harbor

#

Sorry

wheat harbor
#

gaige and zero kinda use the same shields so

#

its too enviromentally situational

tiny thorn
#

Just give them both the Antagonist?
I had Deadly Bloom on Zer0

wheat harbor

antagonsit kinda useless if youre not getting shot with bullets

# tiny thorn I want to make a really good Nurse Maya. What I have now kinda does damage and k...

Dont really need 5/5 Restoration as your normal shots can usually heal people to full if with the bee otherwise shotguns/splatguns/rockets does the job without

Getting a few points in Sweet Release, albeit random who it heals, can heal in combat so you dont need to hyper focus your healing

Blight phoenix lacks any significant dmg, usually for getting melee enemies off you so 1 point is fine enough

If you are using Elated to its fullest, might want to get Suspension too

tiny thorn
#

Has to be something in Motion

#

Kinetic Reflection?

#

Or Accelerate?

rough galleon
#

Personally I would drop the chance to reflect skill myself, I usually just use it for cheese otherwise I dont see much value of it

tiny thorn
#

Ok

rough galleon
#

Kinetic Reflection

tiny thorn
#

Is +2.5 seconds even worth 5 points tho?

rough galleon
#

otherwise just removing 4 from Restoration and spending 5 Suspension, 4 on Kinetic would be good

the extra phaselock is to utilize Elated

tiny thorn
#

I'm thinking of dropping Kinetic & Accelerate for Suspension & Sweet Release..

rough galleon
#

just Phaselock something people dont need to kill and watch the hp regen tick

if you have Leg. Nurse, its even stronger

tiny thorn
#

Ha! When y'all were saying Leg Hunter I thought that was literally shooting enemies in the leg..
I get it now.... LEGendary Hunter..

rough galleon
#

well I did pick a period after Leg. so it means its short form

tiny thorn
#

You're the first one I've seen put a period.

rough galleon
#

unfort

rough galleon
#

yeah as the aforementioned reasons

tiny thorn
#

Do I want Res?

rough galleon
#

are you playing Multiplayer?

I assumed so since its a support build and if so, always.

#

its literally the best instant res in the game as it has no downsides
the only other skill is Krieg's Redeem the Soul

tiny thorn
#

Yes, with my son who is brand new.
Playing Krieg in NVHM,
But will probably switch to Maya in TVHM.

rough galleon
#

Personally I would do something like this

tiny thorn
#

IDK what to do with the Harmony tree, I'm almost done with this and I'll post it

tiny thorn
rough galleon
#

if the mob dies in the Phaselock
healing orbs wee

if it doesnt
Elated keeps going, wee

#

Lootlemon .com

tiny thorn
#

You would take Fleet over Accelerate tho?

rough galleon
#

there's some niche skills I like tho such as:
Helios lvl 1 is a trash skill so its a throwaway but hey, more fire is funny
Sustenance lvl 1 is just passive regeneration which helps OOC/between mob packs but not in Combat really
and Fleet is just fun; nice escape tool if things get rowdy

#

Accelerate is just 15% gun dmg at 5/5 plus fucks with Pimpernel or any other spread shots due to the projectile speed

If you just plan on using Beehawk or Beefist (basically guns without much spread mechs), then you can grab it but I dont think its valuable

tiny thorn
#

@rough galleon
This is what I've got now.
8 skill points remaining.

rough galleon
#

yeah, feel free to spend it anywhere

tiny thorn
#

Life Tap?

rough galleon
#

sure

#

but I would get the health regen more

tiny thorn
#

Will Sweet Release allow multiple orbs to heal a single target?

rough galleon
#

can, its really random

#

its probs not going to go to who you want most of the time but its 15% each so its pretty strong if it does

tiny thorn
#

It's just me & my son.
Wondering if more than 2 orbs is overHeal.. haha, get what I did there?
OverKill... OverHEAL..

wind token
#

As well as ward and inertia

rough galleon
#

is it consistent dmg reduction?

#

I only assume so with 5/5 and you need to get a kill for it

tiny thorn
#

Ok, this is what I have now..
Perfect??

rough galleon
#

I mean, it works

#

idk if its "perfect"

tiny thorn
rough galleon
#

what Im saying is I dont usually play for "perfection"

a lot of my builds are tailored to me or with friends and what I gave before is what I will use

wind token
#

also, with trickster you can make it 100% reduction

rough galleon
#

tbf, I use Fleet to get out rather than tank when playing Maya so I guess its just a diff playstyle

#

let me just double check my two mayas :V

wind token
#

i'm just saying it's insane survivability

#

if you have anything different that also works without making your playstyle too passive then you're good to go

rough galleon
#

ya, my two diff builds just dont use Kinetic Reflection (both are also missing points in strong skills)

first is aggro jumping with Thoughtlock
and second is just a support

#

diff playstyle /shrug

tall surge
#

So whenever its active since its 100%

#

Also when you have 10 points in KR, you take no damage from bullets when it is active

#

11/5 heals you

rough galleon
#

icic, thanks for the claficiation

wind token
tall surge
#

Nah, the reflection chance is always 100%

#

What changes is the damage reduction

wind token
#

the reflection chance yes, the damage reduction i meant

tiny thorn
#

This is mostly for supporting my son's character but I also want to be able to do a little damage, lol.

wind token
#

you have cloud kill lmao

tall surge
wind token
#

i dont think damage will be your problem

tiny thorn

It's a good D&D spell

wind token

busted even

tiny thorn
wind token
#

with the sheer amount of damage in late game i dont think that's a thing, especially without KR

tiny thorn
#

I'm not that keen on Scorn..
Seems like a looong ass Cooldown.

wind token
#

this is a UVHM build so you NEED slag

tiny thorn
#

IDK if we're gonna make it to UVHM.

wind token
#

you can just rotate between phaselock and scorn

#

if phaselock is down, use scorn
if scorn is down, use phaselock

tiny thorn
#

I'm gonna try to convince him to do TVHM but he likes to finish a story and move on to another.

I'm preparing for UVHM but not expecting it

Or rather, should do it

# wind token as long as you dont put it into trash skills you're good

My last build was kinda balanced.
This time I'm not focusing on damage at all really, mainly just taking most things that relate to Phaselock.

In regards to Slag, can Maya just use a Sniper or the Slagga? What other weapons might I want on her?
I've heard she's a decent sniper.

tawdry shell
#

i mean sniping is kinda hard on high anarchy

tiny thorn
#

I could take 3 out of Kinetic to get the Slag melee.

tiny thorn
tawdry shell
#

oh maya

#

i just read the last part with gaige and sniping so i was confused

#

maya is really nice with snipers yea

tiny thorn
#

My bad!
I've been talking about Gaige so much, haha.
I meant Maya.

#

So what weapons kill for her?

tawdry shell
#

other then the cat com boosting SMG stuff specifically i've always felt she's pretty much like a generalist? you can kinda use whatever

#

once you get chain reaction though some weapons shine a bit more

#

pimp cause how many bullets you get outta it, torgue shotguns just feel nice with the effect, etc

#

besides that specific skill though anything goes really

tiny thorn
tawdry shell
#

trickster is usually my go to when mobbing

real oracle
#

imagine if some weapons got their splash radius increased exponentially with chain reaction that would be funny i think

tiny thorn
wind token
#

10% sounds pretty useless

#

considering most splash radiuses are very small
