Turkdaballa6 Posted November 7, 2012 Share Posted November 7, 2012 I do realize that there is a thread somewhere that posts up builds but most of em are speculated builds as they were posted BEFORE the game was even out... As a guild wars 1 and 2 player, I was thinking we create a build thread that explains what it is and why? Might help the community a bit and help people to figure out how they might be better with a different play style... I do realize that relics/shields/weapons do make a MASSIVE difference but for example, rocking a baby maker with the theodore relic is actually better than having the legendary class mod. I'll reserve the next post to post my commando and mech builds and what I use as a template and see if it catches on and is helpful. If not, it is no biggie...

xXthefragileXx Posted November 7, 2012 Share Posted November 7, 2012 Like the idea too. It'd hopefully be a good way to share ideas and suggestions for builds. I'll post my Maya build once you get a template up =) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Incendiary Posted November 7, 2012 Share Posted November 7, 2012 I suggested this idea inside of a Commando build thread (http://www.xbox360achievements.org/forum/showpost.php?p=5333723&postcount=2), but I don't think anyone ever responded. A thread like this would benefit those of us who are level 50 and are working on finding the perfect setup for our characters. The issue is that we already sort-of have a thread for this: http://www.xbox360achievements.org/forum/showthread.php?t=386406 It's for skill tree builder and character discussion, so maybe we should just use that? Although it would be easier to have all the builds in the OP (or links to them); the Gearbox forums have some threads similar to that which are really helpful.

ChickinOnaChain Posted November 7, 2012 Share Posted November 7, 2012 I was going to use one of the builds that I saw online but I ended up just putting everything for my Zero in snipping. When I fill it up, I'll decide what to do next. Right now I don't have a clue, since I've barely looked at the other two categories. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Axel 360 Posted November 7, 2012 Share Posted November 7, 2012 http://cloud-2.steampowered.com/ugc/902105538035924587/B6BABF48FE54F1EF9770DCC0717D5A8053D23275/ This is my 100% melee Zer0 build. The mod that I use it just fit right, it provides 4 Killing Bl0w free points, 5 for Backstab and 3 for Resurgence. Plus the 48% melee damage and my 10.2% melee damage badass rank, my Zer0 can reach 4 digits K in damage. At the end of playtrough 2 he was unstoppable, unfortunately Gearbox decide that, some how, Zer0 sword is not as good against shielded enemies and provide that much health to enemies in playtrough 2.5 that now is not that much awesome. But at the end of playtrough 2 and before my mates broke the game with The Bee, I was the main damage dealer of all of us 4, and the only one that usually could stay alive for a entire stage full of enemies. I use Resurgence over Like The Wind to not die as often (Gearbox din´t do a great job in my opinion this time either with the melee oriented character, although he´s still much better than melee Brick). There could be some other preferences in terms of which skill to spend lose points, like the Resurgence/Like the Wind thing or others, but pretty much this is a very strong melee oriented Zer0 build and there´s little variation I will add. Waiting for level cap sooooooo friking hard, I really need to spend some more points. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
linus614 Posted November 8, 2012 Share Posted November 8, 2012 I like the idea but I have a question. Wont the bad ass rank with the players current attributes along with the gear they are using affect these results? It may be a very stupid question and I apologize.

Burnout x360a Posted November 8, 2012 Share Posted November 8, 2012 I'm clueless when it comes to allocating skill points, I'm not far into TVHM and i'm still not any good and end up choosing the coolest one, lol. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wont the bad ass rank with the players current attributes along with the gear they are using affect these results? It may be a very stupid question and I apologize. This will definitely affect the way the builds will function, but everyone's allocation of their badass points is their own choice. In my opinion, we should still mention which BA stats will work well with a particular build (melee damage with a melee-focused Zer0 build, obviously, etc.), but because the stats carry over to all characters it's going to be up to everyone's individual preference.

LordDVS Posted November 8, 2012 Share Posted November 8, 2012 I like the idea (Actually, I started the original "Build" thread), but I'm more concerned with like how that was "predictive", before the game came out... How long before a level cap increase is actually implemented and we then have to scrap our ideas all over again? I will post my builds on my characters. I have only tried alternate builds on my Assassin and Mechromancer so far. Would love ideas on what to try on my other 3. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have only tried alternate builds on my Assassin and Mechromancer so far. Would love ideas on what to try on my other 3. The good thing about builds is that they are constantly changing and evolving as players find better gear/mods/relics/weapons etc., and as the DLC's are released and the level cap is raised, we can continue to tweak them to get the most bang for our buck. Obviously, we should probably document older builds (ex.- here's the level 50 Zer0 melee build, here's the level[insert new level cap here] Zer0 melee build...) for people that are offline or making new characters.

Wont the bad ass rank with the players current attributes along with the gear they are using affect these results? It may be a very stupid question and I apologize. Since Badass ranks affect every character I´m taking the route of trying to keep everything at the same level, I may have melee damage right now over grenade damage for instance, but eventually the idea is getting them at the same level. Same it takes so much grinding to really get the Badass ranks a use, but I guess is obvious, since those make our character a lot better. The gear obviously affects, relic and mod over all, but I guess it´s ok to avoid that if the thread is about builds. I mentioned because I´m damn proud of how my gear affects my builds, but in any build everyone will naturally go for the gear that suits better that build or that complement what the builds lacks of (for instance, a Commando with no Survival Skills, but a Relic that gives more health and health regeneration). I would post my builds for my other characters, but none of them is still level 50 and it will get me lots of time to do since I´m waiting for getting every DLC, the only reason my Zer0 is already 50 is because it´s my Co-Op only character, and all of my team mates wanted to reach maximum level cap. I´ll use one of those webs to see build and post those I´m interested in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
