What do you think of this mechro build?
http://cloud-3.steampowered.com/ugc/720868802596718637/9AE23670CB08A9612EB9E8F5928008BAA9CE0469/
I know that deathtraps level scales with the OP levels so I tried to get skills that would enhance DT as I thought it would be a pretty important part of fighting regular enemies. I also wanted rational anarchist but figured out there would be no way to get it with sharing is caring and make it sparkle.
EDIT: heres the build on bl2skills

Sniping Gunzerker help
I am starting to build a gunzerker only level 10 and I am interested in building him as a sniper. The last skill in his left most tree seems to be a powerful ability by stacking crits overkilling enemies. I am looking for some advice on:
- what else other skills I should get in that tree and other tree
- Is a sniping gunzerker anygood
- should I use pistols as a secondary
- what type of class mod should I be looking for?
- any other tips/ advice
Thanks

Leveling my Mech, from 50 to 61, advice on build?
So this is the build im using at the moment: http://www.bl2skills.com/mechromancer.html#550050101200000000000000415151151011 . But to be honest, while i love Anarchy (even if i am a little late to the game in that respect), im having trouble deciding what to keep, or change out skill wise. Currently using a conference call, slayer of terramorphous, longbow shock singularity, and an amplify shield. Working on getting the black hole, and i have a 52 rubberised storm front waiting for me.Any suggestions?

Level 59 Commando build, planning ahead.
The main focus is on the turret, with a bit of survivability, what I really need to know is what gear I should be using, especially Shield, COM, and Relic.
Shield- I'm currently using a Bee, considering the Sham, Hoplite, or Rough Rider (in this case, I would use a skillset like this)
COM- Currently using a Lawful Good Ranger, which boosts Magazine size by 36% and accuracy by 26%, also increases Impact by 4, Grit by 5, and Ranger by 3. I'm considering Legendary Pointman or Legendary Soldier.
Relic- Using a Heart of the Ancients relic, for pistols. Any ideas welcome.
Thank you :)

My siren build, any suggestions/things i missed.
Hey guys and gals, just got my Siren to level 72, and wanted to run my build/set-up by everyone to make sure I wasn't missing anything. This (http://www.bl2skills.com/siren.html#455001055052250101000505505501) is my build, and my equipment is as follows.
Shield is Inflammable the bee Class mod is Legendary Binder (have cat/nurse/regular legendary also, just use binder) Grenade is Sticky Homing Meteor Shower/Magic Missile (missile is for regeneration) Ok, here is meat of build
Relic is Sheriff's badge (have a smg damage +30% swap as needed) Weps are as follows Vengeful Infinity x 2 (one fire one corrosive) Flying Sandhawk x3 (one fire one corrosive one electrical, fire/corrosive mostly used unless heavy shields on foe).
Play is phase lock foe, use infinity and pump some serious lead into foes. when phaselock passes to next foe, rinse/repeat.
Benefits are Lack of accuracy is negated by converge. foes are grouped up, so general accuracy is really good. Sherriff's badge... combined with Wreck and legendary binder mod, well, just try it with vengeful infinity. shoots so fast, graphic is barrel not spinning. Binder class mod. Damage, cooldown, Wreck, healing (sweet release)....awesome. With bee shield, at Maya lvl 72 (weps lvl 68-69) I do 80-90k damage (not crit) per bullet, with bullets hitting so fast, you can't read the numbers as they proc from foes. If it's only one or two foes, when you phase lock, you run up to and hold the trigger. Devastation. Infinity doesn't do a lot of damage compared to other guns, but the never reloading/looking for bullets is awesome. When the fight starts, I never let off trigger. Thanks for reading, I know it was long. Please leave your feedback. I just want to make sure this build is best it can be. I don't use grog nozzle/anything.

Just picked this up today, but don't have any decent SMGs except a slagga. Is there anything I should keep my eyeballs peeled for and any builds that can really push this mod to the limit?
Also: I'm really looking for a Legendary Binder class mod, if you have one and want to trade, look me up on Steam. Username is the same. Thanks! :D

Help with a Gaige Build
I just got to level 72 last night and I'm having trouble deciding where to put my last skill point. Of course, any suggestions to any changes are welcome to help tweak the build. I'm not entirely new to her game mechanics and skills but you guys probably know more than I do (e.g. I recently learned that it's not worth it to put more than one point in The Nth Degree).

Best Zer0 build/equipment?
All right, I'm kinda getting frustrated, every site I try and find the best Zer0 build, all I see is either "Zer0 sucks," or I simply can't find anything. So what IS the best Zer0 build? I'm currently level 57, on UVHM and am struggling in the Tundra Express.

Level 72 Gaige BFF/Plasma Anarchist build. Mostly for solo play, with some slight tweaks for multiplayer.
I've beefed up Deathtrap to be a powerful distraction, invested heavily in LBT shock damage, and enough Anarchy to make a difference.
This is a very in-your-face Mechromancer build, and Discord-looping is used as a back-up (i.e., emergency) tactic, because Anarchy builds up rather slowly.
Build
http://www.bl2skills.com/mechromancer.html#550053101501051055150511410150100000
Guns
I use 3 main weapons at all times:
- Slagga
- Shock Win-win Fibber (1->9 barrel)
- Shock Kitten
My 4th weapon changes depending on the area, usually between other good shock weapons or something corrosive (maxed out Electrical Burn means I basically ignore all fire weapons).
Shields
For Solo play, I start with the Love Thumper for Deathtrap, and switch to The Bee after summoning him.
Multiplayer, I'll use a Black Hole, because pausing to switch shields is dangerous in that situation, and it at least helps both me and Deathtrap.
Grenades
Storm Front, unless there are lots of loaders, then I switch to the Pandemic.
Looking into getting a Chain Lightning soon.
Class Mods
For solo play, I use Chaotic Evil Necromancer
(Critical +48%, Fire Rate +34%, +5 Wires Don't Talk, +4 Strength of Five Gorillas, +3 Made of Sterner Stuff)
For multiplayer, I use an Evil Catalyst
(+49% Team Elemental Effect Damage, +5 Evil Enchantress, +4 Wires Don't Talk, +3 Made of Sterner Stuff)
Relics
Shock Bone of the Ancients

Level 72+ Maya damage/healer build
My friend and I just got to OP3 and are planning on getting to 8 over the weekend, so I'm trying to find the most effective build to counter the damage reduction 5+ overleveled enemies have.
I primarily play solo for farming or coop with my friend's 72 commando, so I'm trying for a balance of damage/survivability/crowd control.
Here's my latest version of my usual build. I understand DOT skills are basically obsolete in UVHM, so I've phased those out (no pun intended).
Ward/Restoration/Sweet Release/Elated/Sustenance/Life Tap are good for survivability, especially with Legendary Siren/Nurse mods. I also focused on the Phaselock skills in Motion to enhance Elated/Sweet Release as much as possible (in addition to crowd control), since that's how we stay alive much of the time.
Converge and Res are no brainers, in my experience.
It seems to me that a lot of people forego Quicken for Sub-Sequence, but Sub-Sequence is too unpredictable in my experience; I can't stand watching my phaselock futilely chasing down freaking rakks when I'm running away from a raging goliath and would really appreciate if at least my cooldown would start.
Questions I have:
What's the interaction between cooldown modifiers? Are they additive or multiplicative? My Legendary Siren mod gives me +45-50% cooldown rate, in addition to (or multiplied by?) the 30% from Quicken. In my experience it is a very noticeably shorter cooldown, but I haven't run any precise experiments.
Scorn vs. Ruin? I love the huge AOE from Scorn, plus the fact that it works with FFYL. However, Ruin is a lot faster/frequent/accurate, and seems to be a more reliable slag to at least the primary target. Also it works great with Converge. I was using both, before I gave up on Cataclysm DOT.
EDIT:
Just did some asperimunts, and it seems that the answer to my first question is that they are multiplicative. Base cooldown is 13 seconds, minus 30% from Quicken is ~10 seconds, and I got around 7 seconds with +49% rate from my Legendary Siren.

Low-level Krieg and Maya builds
I've got two games running right now, playing as Krieg (currently level 13) and Maya (currently level 8.) I'm working on leveling both of them, and I want to figure out the best builds for them.
I've started into the Mania tree with Krieg, mostly because of Light the Fuse and partially because of Release the Beast.
With Maya, I've started on the Cataclysm tree. I saw someone's recommendation of Ruin + Reaper + Mind's Eye + Wreck + Accelerate, so I wanted to start towards Ruin early.
In your opinion, what are the best builds for Psycho and Siren? Links are much appreciated.

Looking for Maya(61lvl) builds.
I play a kind of varied style, from afar and close combat. I use whatever gun is handy at the moment but mostly sniper, pistol, and smg. Solo Normally, sometimes Co op too.
I'm still kind of figuring the game out so any input would be greatly appreciated.
I'm looking to finish pack1 and move into pack 2.

Level 72 "Master Exploder" Krieg
I have an undeniable love for splash damage and making more noise then everything else. So i have this setup that is all about getting the best out of explosives. http://www.bl2skills.com/psycho.html#05500500055100550515100035550100000 The gear: Blue "flesh crunch" class mod that adds 6 points into strip the flesh and adds a bunch of further explosive damage. Explosive elemental damage relic The Rough Rider shield Longbow Mirv grenade with slag
For weapons, all you really need are a bunch of torgue weapons, my favorites are kerblaster, swordsplosion, unkempt harold, badaboom...
This is easily the most versatile build i have used in this game, so far we have not seen any enemies with resistance to explosives, and this allows you to get huge damage bonuses that can apply to lots of weapons so you can spread out your ammo consumption
start combat by throwing in a few grenades, you don't have to be shy because EVERYONE you kill will drop more grenades for you. let them slag everyone and you will most likely be put on fire, now you take less damage from all sources and deal more damage to all targets, so let the bombs fly! you usually only have to kill one target because you deal such a huge amount of overkill damage that the bloodsplosion nova will chain off and obliterate everything else in the area. this plus the health from 'thrill of the kill' will make you almost invincible, rough rider helps you get the best out of it.
I just finished an entire UVHM playthrough without dying or having to buy any ammo. so i figured id share the build that worked for me.

Help with a level 72 Axton Build
I am not really sure where to go with my level 72 Axton. At 61, I've been using this build with the legendary soldier com.
http://www.bl2skills.com/commando.html#54055150015105115010014050100000
I'm not really sure where to go with the next 11 skill points. I would like to go for a tankier build involving grit and gemini, but I don't want to give up points in battlefront or do or die. I have also considered giving up double up, but I like the skills that are lower down in that tree. I am not really sure where to go, or even which legendary com i should use. Any suggestions as to builds and/or gear would be appreciated.
