Siren Master List: Build Collection

Borderlands 2 Maya the Siren
#21

Probably this weekend. Just got done with the beacon section in Overlook.

#22

With Maya being buffed to a certain extant with the new patch will anyone be revisiting their builds to see if they’ll make any changes?

#23

I am going to have to revisit some of my Builds, based upon the 10/29/2015 Patch. Any Build that has Flicker will have that reduced by 1 point (to 4/5 Flicker). That 1 point will be placed into Cloud Kill. My Binder Build is outdated and inaccurate. I might actually add Helios, since the Legendary Binder would give 10/5 Helios. I have no plans to put points into Backdraft and will likely not put points into Blight Phoenix. For any Build where the Class Mod boosts Flicker by +5 but does not also boost Helios by +5, I might leave Flicker at 1/5 (for a total 6/5) and put the remaining 4 points into Helios. However, I first want to see the result’s of some other players’ tests of Helios before making that decision. I have a feeling that Helios may be one of those all or nothing skills, meaning it only does really well at 11/5 or 10/5.

I moved one point to cloud kill, I need more testing for the other skills.

So there’s a lot of builds to look through. Wondering what you pros think would be a good build for me.
I play solo
I like pistols a lot
I like snipers too
Don’t like re spec all the time
Is there a good solid build for those 4 criteria in your opinion ?

#34

Gambler’s build is good, just move the point from Res into Helios instead. Or try Troubled’s build if you like Jakobs weaponry.

#35

You may want to try a variation of Derch’s Twisted Pimp. I play solo and use all Jakobs weapons with it (move the coop points to other items). After this, I will never play without Life Tap, two points in it is all you need. Gives good survivability and very fluid fighting.

#36

Ok thanks for your advice. I do like the Jacobs build. I’m gonna try that or the twisted pimp build.

#37

I run my twisted pimp quite a bot with Jakobs loadouts, works well

I was wondering what a good build would be for a SMG DPS Siren.

#39

Something using a Legendary Cat class mod seems like a good candidate. Are you playing solo or co-cop?

This is what I based my own build off:

Note that quite a few of Maya’s skills got buffed since that build was posted and archived, but it’s a good starting point. There’s some discussion based off a slightly different variant here:
