LBT + DT + Anarchy?

Borderlands 2 Gaige the Mechromancer
#1

Been messing around with some builds and tried this one out. Its a mix of Lbt, anarchy, focused with dt . Figure id just share it unlesa someone has this already and would like to share their weapon setup. http://bl2skills.com/mechromancer.html#505050140051050054100551412150110000

Wep1: Fibber(shock)
Wep2:Twister, Interfacer(shock), or Conference call
Wep3:Kitten(shock), sometimes grog nozzle
Wep4:Norfleet(FFYL situation)

Shield: Hide of terra( for DT), Blockade/ antagonist for gaige
Class mod: Legendary Anarchist( 1 point into typecast)
Grenade: Magic missle
Relic: shock bone or Sherrifs badge

For a long time I’ve been playing a BFF/ OC build and refused to play shock for some reason but this seems to be working out great. Any suggestions for this build?

I use a build that’s very similar to that. Her loadout is Maliwan grenades, weapons, and shields. She can use whatever relic or COM she wants, but I’d be lying if I said she wasn’t constantly wearing the Legendary Catalyst. My favorite mixed-element loadout:

  1. Infection (corrosive)
  2. Chulainn (shock/slag)
  3. Storm (shock)
  4. Pyrophobia (fire)
  5. Shock Spike shield
  6. Legendary Catalyst
  7. Kiss of Death (shock)
  8. Shock Bone of the Ancients

I do play with the UCP, so the Chulainn does not slag me. I prefer it over the Florentine in this context because it allows me to run hard with a second SMG without being concerned about that ammo pool, I think it slags better, it throws way more Physx goop around, and I can make Deathtrap sparkle with either element on command (direct shot for shock: nearby splash for slag). If he’s got nothing to splash nearby, no switching to slag, but that’s rare.

As I think about it, can the Florentine do that? She otherwise burns off Anarchy as needed, keeping maybe 20 stacks in the bank for health emergencies. I don’t otherwise have a suggestion; while I wouldn’t use that exact build, it seems quite viable to me.

I’m definitely going to be trying out other shock builds, I did the shocking anarchist build which is really good. I tried shooting dt with slag and then I switch my weapon to shock but all the ricochet just overrides it which is kinda annoying =/.

You’ll note that my build skips Close Enough. :wink:

Depending on the combat, if I want Deathtrap on slag duty, it can still be difficult to keep from accidentally hitting him. That said, I rarely use him in that capacity… I’ll do the slagging and he can do the damage (hence the Chulainn - enemies get slagged (and shocked), but if I hit Deathtrap, he remains shock).

For my purposes with this build, I want Smaller, Lighter, Faster for the reload speed buff (Gaige can’t reload to save her life), and Anarchy is just a point I need to burn to open up Blood Soaked Shields and Robot Rampage. Another point in Discord lets me use Anarchy in a constructive way (as opposed to just dropping it with normal reloads).

#5

Not bad- I have to say though that I really like to have both Electrical Burn and Evil Enchantress at or close to max, so if you want to try 4/5 in both and only 1 point in IO (which would still be boosted by the com), you might like the results…
