Some discussion over at the last patch thread made me want to ask, just for fun
What would be your ideal COM for one or many characters ?
Rules:
We’re designing normal COMs: so blue boost 2 skills by +6 and +5, purple boost 3 by +5/4/4, no legendary or whatever
Base Bonus has to make sense, nothing like “bonus gun damage: 250%”
Only skills that can be boosted without breaking the game are allowed (So no +5 to Inconceivable to get 100% chance of proc)
Bonus points to anyone that designs a coherent COM (with a definite playstyle in mind and a title and skills that speak of a certain trope…not just a mish mash of good skills and stats)
Also, is your ideal COM already in the game ?
Or maybe it would be if you were allowed to swap just one skill, or modify the base bonus slightly ?
Here’s mine, to set the tone
Maya:
Modified Trickster COM
+3X% fire rate
KR
Chain reaction
Reaper (replaces BP)
Zero:
The lone Gunman
Movement speed
+Innervate
+One shot one kill
Ambush
Salvador
Bruiser
+3X% Damage resistance
+Ain’t got time to bleed
+Yippee kay yay
Curious as to what your ideal Axton mod would be. I would love one with +47% grenade damage, +6 Onslaught and +5 Battlefront.

My ideal one would be if they made a grenadier that boosted
+45% cool down rate
+40% Grenade damage
+6 battlefront
+5 resourceful
Other possible skill would be steady
I made up a couple of Legendary COMs tailored to my personal playstyles in a discussion I had with Piemanlee in the “Make up your own Legendaries” a while ago:
Now, if we’re talking about non-legendary versions, here’s what I always wanted:
ZER0
For a playstyle based on delivering powerful burst/single shot damage while coming out of Decepti0n, maneuvering around enemies to escape fire and reentering Decepti0n as fast as possible. Repeat. Manufactured by Jakobs.
Passive boosts:
+Cooldown Rate
+Reload Speed
Skill boosts:
+0ne Sh0t 0ne Kill
+Ambush
+F0ll0wthr0ugh
AXTON
Kinda like Piemanlee’s, it’s a mix of the Grenadier and Engineer COMs, specifically tailored for explosive builds and meant to boost grenade damage while keeping the turrets up for as long as possible. Manufactured by Torgue.
Up to +50% Damage Reduction
Up to +5% Health Regeneration a second.
Grit
Able
Crisis Management
Maya
Witch Lord
Up to +40% Critical Damage
Up to +40% Accuracy
Reaper
Accelerate
Mind’s Eye
Battle Maiden
Up to +45% Shotgun Damage
Up to +45% Shotgun Reload speed.
Kinetic Reflection
Inertia
Life Tap
Salvador:
Hulk:
Up to +50% Increased Health.
Up to +50% Damage Reduction.
Sexual Tyrannosaurus
Ain’t Got Time to Bleed
Hard to Kill
Gaige:
Overclocked:
Up to +5% Healing Regeneration per second for Death Trap.
Up to +50% Increased Attack Speed for Deathtrap.
Made of Sterner Stuff
20% Cooler
Annoyed Android
Krieg:
Unhinged:
Up to +100% Sniper Explosive Damage. (Converts sniper rifle damage into explosive that is affected by both explosive and grenade buffs,.100% means all the damage is converted into explosive damage and replacing whatever the original damage was.)
Up to +40% Sniper Rifle Accuracy.
Is it that obvious? I thought I was being subtle about it.

My first thread on the forums was me asking if a com like this existed
+40%~explosive damage
+6 bloodbath
+5 strip the flesh
Other skill could be
Elemental empathy or taste of blood to have a skill in either tree except melee.
