El Hombre- A Jakobs Build

[Piemanlee (Knows how 3D spaces work)]

I myself like to gunzerk dual quads so I say go.for it.

[VaultHunter101 (Flying: throwing yourself at the ground and missing)]

Similar or different to @Chuck80’s Deputy Sal build? (Link in the build master list if you haven’t seen it) If yours is broader than shotgun, I say go for it also!

[boombumr (Here comes the BOOOOM)]

Much broader. I main 2 snipers, 2 ARs, and only occasionally a shotgun.

[VaultHunter101 (Flying: throwing yourself at the ground and missing)]

Looking forward to it!

[DeputyChuck (Sheriff)]

Me too

[boombumr (Here comes the BOOOOM)]

Alrighty then. Should be up by Saturday if all goes well.

[stupid_red_x (Business Casual)]

Hell yeah. And…

I myself like to gunzerk dual quads

Hell yeah!

[l_gabrielcruz (Spark Seeker)]

2 SR and 2 AR? Sounds fun!

[Piemanlee (Knows how 3D spaces work)]

I bet it’s a hawkeye and a bekha for one of each.

[boombumr (Here comes the BOOOOM)]

You got half the formula down .

[Piemanlee (Knows how 3D spaces work)]

I guess the others could be a Gatling gun and the cobra or just a muckamuck

[boombumr (Here comes the BOOOOM)]

Not quite on the Cobra. I did use a white bolt action sniper at one point while leveling, and I did enjoy it, but they do not work at endgame.

And the second AR will probably surprise a lot of people.

[boombumr (Here comes the BOOOOM)]

Hush now, I can’t give away all my secrets .

[Piemanlee (Knows how 3D spaces work)]

I hid my words lol.

I call Kitten! (Yeah, I know, but still - Kitten!)

[boombumr (Here comes the BOOOOM)]

I’m just gonna put the build in the OP so I don’t take up to much bandwidth. Editing the title too.

Sorry for the sloppy write up btw. Its kind of late and I need to get to bed .

[DeputyChuck (Sheriff)]

Interesting build, mind if I dissect it a bit ?

I find the Diaub has the highest DPS and is the easiest to aim. However, per shot damage is higher with the Muckamuck. If you want more forgiveness in aiming for body shots, the Skullmasher performs the job admirably while still putting out awesome damage.

Actually, the Skullmasher has both the highest DPS and the highest damage per shot of all 3 choices listed, and should be your #1 choice here.

All I need is one is a terrible skill, you’re better off with putting those points into L&L instead.

And last thing: without moxxi guns or points in the Brawn tree…how do you survive ?
My guess is that it would fare poorly in the OP levels without a serious investment in the Brawn tree.

The basic idea is very sound, but you should probably rework it as a brawn-centric build

I’ve never had an OP2 Skullmasher to test out, so I put the Diaub as the highest DPS on the basis of its low recoil. Still, considering the Skullmasher’s fire rate and damage, it should definitely be the premier choice.[quote=“Chuck80, post:19, topic:1264005”]

I would if any gun besides the the Cowboy benefitted. Personally, I switch the combos a lot between Hawkeye+Diaub and Hawkeye+cowboy, so I get the bonus fairly often.

Transfusion grenades and coop. I haven’t played this in single player too often, but I barely ever play single player in general so I’m my experience isn’t the greatest standard of measurement for how the build fares.

It definitely works in 2 player OP2, that’s where I’ve spent the bulk of my time playing this build. You do go down a bit, but getting up is easy. I could revise it for a solo variant, but again, I rarely solo, so I wouldn’t be able to gauge how effective the build really is there.

I see your point about survivability, but all this kind of falls apart without NKLO and infinite gunzerk, so I don’t know where I could get the points to fill up brawn.

I’m pretty sure that with the Hawkeye in your off-hand, you get more than enough damage to not need NKLO

Something like this: http://bl2skills.com/gunzerker.html#050500501000545010415055005005051

…would definitely still work

Looks interesting. I’ve recently started a second Sal, with the intent of exploring the Brawn tree through NVHM and TVHM. I might also try respeccing my level 72 Sal just to see how that build goes.
