Effect of Update on Gaige's Skill Tree

Continuing the discussion from Maya is BACK - DOT damage boost thanks to last game update - new build forecast:

Did I really say that? Oh well. But yeah, looping RA and DFA was a novel experience but a very rewarding one. It felt odd to rarely get above 30 stacks at OP8, but stuff died. In abundance and with some alacrity.
