Trying to find a decent build for gaige - details inside

Borderlands 2 Gaige the Mechromancer
#21

i think im gonna follow hes build
one thing i dont like at all is Discord
i got use to not being able to reload but using Discrod seems annoying and hard to me

lets say u fight bunch of mobs and u want to reload so you do
but ur so focused on the fight that u forget to reload again and cancel the discord effect and u lose stacks

seems wierd mechanic to me :< unless im doing it wrong! :PPPP

It definitely takes some getting used to, but the stack decay from Discord isnā€™t all that fast, and the benefits of being able to bring accuracy back up coupled with the RoF buff and healing really shine in hectic situations.

Iā€™m still learning to remember to use it, but it can be the difference between a close shave and hearing the Hyperion ladyā€™s passive aggressive respawn chatter.

TL;DR play the way you like, but consider trying new things out from time to time :slight_smile:

Edit: if you have a bit of time I have a vid of me clearing Bandit Slaughter round 5, most of my healing comes from my Hail, but thereā€™s a couple of times Discord gets me out of a tight spot (and apologies for any perceived self promotion, just meant to be an example)

this looks sick fun
is it Nova build?

#24

Based off it, but I did a bit of reallocation to optimize for L Catalyst
I was experimenting with Buck Up when I recorded but my go to build is this

http://bl2skills.com/mechromancer.html#500050140000250032150531412150151050

Iā€™ve run it up to OP6 solo, but Nova thinks it should be good up to 8, with a little gear optimization. Blockade would be ideal but Iā€™m more of a mobbing guy, eventually Iā€™ll get around to bringing a raid toon up, Iā€™m not skilled enough to raid effectively with Gaige.

Shock for Hail and Pimp, Slagga and Blockhead for flesh and NE ricochet Fibber for mixed or armor maps

Grenade - LB Stomfront but I was rocking a Chain Lightning for a long time with good results
Relic- Shock Bone
Shield - Antagonist
COM - L Anarchist up to around 100-150 then switch off to L Catalyst. Generally Iā€™ll swap back to Anarchist and ride Discord with a Bee for tougher bosses like Leviathan.

Anarchy is a finicky beast, that vid had some bad instances of accuracy trouble with the Pimp but usually I can hit pretty consistently up to my max of 250 stacks.

sounds awesome
i really like your weapon s layout and skills.

cant wait to get back from work to keep.leveling ^^

someone herw mentioned that i should save some side missions and do them at lvl 50 so i can get decent gear for uvhm

do you know any spefic quests worth saving?

and what ahould i focus on first with the eridium?
like more smg ammo or shotguns ammo

#26

What you save is your preference, but if itā€™s a farmable reward youā€™ll find it here bc @Chuck80 is a badass

As for the eridium, whatever youā€™re running out of ammo I guess?

My Gaige is something like this. Everything gets massacred at OP8, another L. Catalyst build and I love my Chaotic Evil Necromancer mod. (if you can get your hands on it)

kinda late but shouldnt be a problem:
This build is very complicated and probably the best combination of skills ever:
