She doesn’t like M4 at all right now. So don’t stress too much, but thank you so much for any effort you put into it! You rock. 
Good point, forgot about that. I think very few Fl4k players play with the attack command in mind. If she really wants to build for that, then she needs an entirely different build from what I suggested, and I just wouldn’t recommend it.

She will probably be more willing to listen to you guys than she is me. I haven’t played Fl4k, and as you can see from my Zane attempts I’m not the greatest at throwing stuff together.

Well here’s a skill tree she should like, if she gets her hands on an Otto idol she’ll be doing pretty good on m4 in terms of healing.

This is what I use to run everything but the takedown and it works with the hunter, stalker and rakk Pak class mods pretty well and any weapon. If she has trouble keeping up the dps to keep the skag alive mutates defense is a good skill for one point.

My Skag build is quite familiar with the attack command 
Eridian Skag hits a few enemies at once. If I were to spec for it fully, I think it could do some decent work, too.
I think the hard part of coming up with something is getting Rakks, Skags, and Green tree healing stuff… Hmm

Currently my favorite part of her setup is The Red Skill That Boosts Hunter Skills and Psycho Head. That’s a really solid combo on paper.
I wanna see if maybe we can get someone in PS4 land to get you two a Rakk Pak com. That really makes the Rakks more fun.
How attached is she to Lick The Wounds and All My BFFs. I have some ideas that I might be able to try if she’s willing to take the green out and do some more blue. Damn it. I just remembered we were trying to work with Eager. Hmmmmmmm…this will be my puzzle for the day.

I prefer throwing them in the air but I wish it did more than 10k, I’m not too sure if you’re saying you could do decent with damage or control though.

Damage. With a deep enough investment to GftE, Deadeye, a singularity, the Terror pet damage anointment, and patience, I could probably get a really good singularity attack from ESkag to hit multiple enemies for big first hit damage.
But it’s very situational and I don’t really wanna tell anyone else to try it because I know for a fact that it’s a lot of set up for barely any payoff.

I spent half a day working on that this weekend with the rocket launcher jabber, I could get 50-60k per rocket and chain the attack commands if I worked it right. With all the micro managing required to make sure he was attacking the right target and laying down debuffs with the execute pistol to break 100k it really felt rough, but watching private beans die to jabber rockets was priceless.

She says she isn’t too terribly attached to all my bff’s, but she gets down a lot and I’m not always right by her side (and the game doesn’t like to let me revive, gotta target that very specific spot, you know) so she’s pretty fond of lick the wounds, but would be willing to part with it.
We were trying to basically make her pet another party member. >.>
I’m playing her character now, trying out the suggested changes thus far. Thank you all 
Oh and she’s using a Deadeye COM right now since Stackbot is still broken.
Do you have a Brainstormer?
I have several, yes!

I have an idea! I just gotta get home. Should involve just a couple tweaks for her
Are you liking drone or do you miss clone dome?

Does your Brainstormer have the SNTL/cryo anointment? And even it doesn’t swap out that horrible shock SMG you are using in your video for the Brainstormer.

Brainstormer is for Fl4k here, Dugie. I’m building for two here. What you wanna do is cover gaps between eachother, and I’ve got some ideas.
I’m just working and I wanna give full attention to this.
Some things to hope for in a Brainstormer for this Fl4k will be: 15 lifesteal ase. 30 lifesteal attack command. 100 damage rakk hit. If none available, any ASE that ups the damage will be helpful.
Preferably the version with 7 pellets instead of 14.

A Brainstormer on Zane would be good too because it’s better than the SMG that he has and it will help keep his action skill up visa-vi Good Misfortune.
My 2 cents about FL4K/Zane co-op.
FL4K is a DPS monster so when doing co-op with FL4K Zane doesn’t need to be the DPS carry and should play a more supportive/management role instead. One way to achieve that is to use the Deterrence Field augment and mostly leave your barrier on the ground. Deterrence field keeps most enemies out thus giving you and your partner time to recover health and shields and prioritize and focus fire enemies that slip through the barrier.
With Deterrence Field you should run point and put the barrier down in a spot that gives y’all good sight lines on the enemies in the area so you and your partner are safe but effective in selecting targets. Once the barrier is on the ground then your FL4K can break from cover and come into the barrier and get to work murdering in the safety of your barrier. If you are unable to clear the area before your action skill ends then identify where y’all will retreat to and retreat while the barrier is still active so neither of you take any serious damage. Then wait for your barrier to come off cooldown. Once your action skill is off cooldown, run point again, setup and reengage. Rinse repeat until everything is dead. If you decide to adopt this play style for co-op then take points out of Synchronicity and max out Borrowed Time.
Since you have a Brainstormer main that when there are groups of enemies because it can keep your action skill going indefinitely and doesn’t require precision shooting. Team focus firing should be the play for badass and anointed enemies. You and partner should communicate and whenever there are badasses/anointed pick a target and focus fire it down.

Full disclosure? I miss my clone. 
But I do want to be able to play with others at some point, just for kicks. So if I need to get more comfortable with a different playstyle I can do that.
We reworked her skills, and are trying out the new builds now. Back to hear farming either way really
I’m gonna keep coming back to this so I’m not abandoning the post, feel free to keep coming here for discussion!
I’ll try out the brainstormer. I was only using the Poly because I couldn’t find another shock smg that wasn’t the Cutsman or a Destructo Spinner in my bank >.> I like the Cutsman but it’s hard to show off playstyle with a gun that melts basically everything.
Aside from the obvious mistakes, should I change my play any? I try to keep moving all the time (speed = damage after all) and as much as I can help it I try to go for crits.
I miss actual ammo Regen… This “to your magazine” crap is for the birds…
So, please excuse me, but I took the liberty of crafting up builds for all three characters that keep the basic foundations but repair some of the things I viewed as a little of kilter. I will get to explaining the plans and what I did asap, but for now we have
Elemental Grasps Amara, with less skills that do eachother’s job.
Double Barrel Barrier Zane With Slightly Retooled Investments.
R4kk Fl4k With A Bit More Pet Power, And Less Two Fang, Sry.
I’ll be back in a little while to discuss the ideas I’m setting forth here, but I promise I have a reason for everything I’m suggesting.

She needs the brainstormer as much as you tbh, it carried me through the Takedown when I was first trying to solo it.
Btw Sam and stud look like they’re having a competition of sorts… Is this how you two always are working together?
