Just started playing TPS last month after years enjoying BL1 & BL2. I’ve soloed a Nisha Gritty Sheriff to Lvl 26 so far concentrating on automatic elemental guns & intend to take this toon to the game max level. Not using launchers or assault rifles too often as things work out better for me with the other gun types, have been switching off between purple absorb, adaptive, amplify & turtle shields depending on the environment. An important lesson from the first two games, early game lower level builds rarely bear much resemblance to what they end up being at the game’s high levels but still — here’s a start at lvl 26 for your critical comments & ideas. I’ll post a progress report like this once every 10 to 15 levels as I move Nisha up to the game max level for the community to share its thoughts. I can list or link to the gear I usually equip in the eight slots - they’re mostly current level (24 to 26) purple & some blue rarity - today I found my first Legendary Class mod in TPS for a Fragtrap of my level - I’m gunnin’ for one for Nisha now lol. http://thepresequel.com/Nisha/4100000000001503000000005310000000/grisheriff,lv26
Usually you are better off with trying to put most points in a single tree as the later skills are more powerful. For example, you could have some points in Tombstone right now if you focused on Riflewoman.
Are you dying often ?
@DeputyChuck not dying more than usual for a Borderlands game - for me this has always been a part of “the cost of doing business” - building good inventory and characters in GBX games. But no not dying too much. Also am a pretty careful player. But I’d thought I was buffing my survivability by putting all 4 points into Law & that was one reason I wasn’t dying more. But you’re saying I’ll need those four points in my Riflewoman branch?
I hadn’t heard that about Skill Tree investing in a single branch to the exclusion of the other two branches in TPS but I was tending in that direction you mention anyway, had only put points in Riflewoman & Fan the Hammer and hadn’t originally intended any investment in Law & Order but saw the skill Law which buffs shield cap & that seemed a logical enough investment, no? The rest of the skills in that branch look generally unappealing or unclear.
If I rebalance her Skill Tree to reflect 100% investment into a single branch - which branch do you prefer for the solo player and why? Why do you feel a max lvl player might have invested all his or her points into the Fan The Hammer or the Law & Order branch ?
I’ve been trying unsuccessfully to study other players’ Nisha builds but all the top 25 builds linked on the GBX Forum “Nisha Builds” page/thread - these links are all broken [pointing blindly to an old GBX site that no longer renders] … so I don’t have a clue how experienced players think when they’re building their toons in TPS. Are there some other sites or places on GBX forums that gives these top 25 Nisha builds by Skill Trees (maybe includes some top gear for each build) or by working links to these Skill Trees? Also is it possible to please link some Solo Nisha builds you / your friends have respected over the years even if the builds aren’t your’s?
You mention some Nisha skills maybe game-changing pointing as an example to my missing investment by now in Tombstone. Honestly before you called my attention to it, I’d been 100% unaware it could be a game-changer - I didn’t think so by reading its description & really thank you for calling my attention to it. Of Nisha’s total 36 skills available on her Skill Tree, what other ones if any aside from Tombstone do you feel are game-changers?
ty for your help =D
@DeputyChuck - Experimenting with yr idea to get Tombstone moving. Lowered the investment in L&O + FTH. Trying out this amended Nisha Gritty Sheriff Lvl 26 & will give feedback when I have some. Thanks (y) http://thepresequel.com/Nisha/1000000000000100000000005511211050/grisheriff,auto
