I mostly play maya atm. I started a gaige and a zero who i play sometimes but this moment im leveling another maya cus my friend needed a partner for his krieg and who suits that role better then maya!
I think for me she is the most fun to play but most of the time i only use 2 build. One for nursing one with bee/sandhawk/ cat.
So since im not so creatieve with builds and combing gear and im very limited with my time to play (i blame my 2 small kids for that i was looking for creative ideas to try on maya for a change or maybe make my new maya different cus atm she starting to look a lot like maya the firstā¦
So how do you guys keep the game fun and challenging for maya. Im open for everything (gear, builds, weird comboās)

Currently grinding op levels with my Maya and my gf as kreig. For the longest time I was running a thoughtlock/nurse build. Restoration works well with kreigs skill that letās players shoot him (you still heal him). Be careful with that though as certain weapons and grenades still hurt him. The splash damage on guns like the hornet will drop his sheild but heal him. Which can be useful if you need to strip his sheild. There are a lot of interesting things you can do with this build. Switch between binder, nurse, and banshee classmods depending on the situation. Another cool Interaction is if he takes redeem the soul and revives you he will Immediately go into ffl, but you can just res him. Mayaās cool down is so quick it rarely matters. The reason Iām not using this build is I donāt like thoughtlock for raids/ digipeak. Iām opting for nursing and cataclysm instead. (Though I still have points in fleet so when my sheild goes down I can pop in and out of combat.)
Hehe, I honestly sit at Adabiviakās feet gazing in admiration when it comes to Borderlands innovation. But as good as the Sand Hawk and Pimpernel are, I can recommend trying more unusual weapon combinations for kicks, especially with Maya who can rock pretty much anything. All my solo characters are allegiance now as that tempts me to experiment with new stuff (I have a Bandit and a Hyperion Maya). And when that doesnāt work I just punch skeletons in the d!ck.
@Ronnie_Rayburn Oke you are rightā¦ atm i only farm the most popular legendaries and quest itemsā¦ Im not even familiair with most blue items.
Allegiance buildā¦ gotta look that up haha. But after watching your link it was a bit more clear Sounds fun!
Ye i found RR/banshee diffucult to fight with. So the suggestion to run from a to b with it was nice. But i will definitly another try with another build.

I recently ran this thru the Peak all the way to OP8. Main mod was a L. Binder but the skills with 1 point are for coms like Mirrored/Twisted Trickster, L. Siren and L. Nurse. Basically as far as weapons pick a favorite, combine with a complimentary relic and go to townā¦
Disclaimer : I completely derailed Darthās Thoughtlock thread midway through. Feel free to skip through posts 25 to 79 as theyāre more about my Peak attempts than Thoughtlock
The skills she has that can really change up her combat style in my opinion have really already been mentioned (Thoughtlock and Backdraft). Iām also partial to Blight Phoenix, but without the UCP, itās more, ācool way to feed Life Tap plus wingsā than, āIām channeling Pyro Peteā. Recompense and Kinetic Reflection are a hoot, but letās start simple.
For weapons, the singular weapon that plays unlike any other for me is the Landscaper. Have you ever given it an honest try? Itās not for everyone, but itās like no other weapon in the game.
(from my āRandomā collection)
Maya with a Landscaper (no special build hereā¦ singularity grenades to pull hapless enemies into the nest of mines when she canāt kite them in).
The Nurse setup is her worst imho and only suitable for a few raid bosses where you are just there to support a DPS character. The majority of the time, her best team COM is the Binder since it lowers everyoneās cooldown and boosts her DPS skills (Reaper in the normal versions, Reaper and Wreck in the Legendary version) so she is doing damage too.
For general Maya play, I prefer either a Leg Binder build or something similar to Derchās Twisted Pimp build (look it up on his youtube channel).
Another gimmick build is the backdraft build with a shock slowhand, transformer shield, and a Scorched Banshee COM, thereās videos on youtube
Lots of other great suggestions above, Iāve been running a Thoughtlock Maya recently and itās a lot of fun.
Oh i dont know what ucp isā¦ i play on xbox one. Is it a mod? Can i use it and is it worth having?
My next build for mostly nursing is http://bl2skills.com/siren.html#525001230005255105000553510511
I try not to kill much with this build because of my gunzerking partner but in case i have to i got wreck and some points in accelerate and intertia.
I went to OP 8 with this build so i think its pretty solid
Like i said for solo i only use cat and sometimes legendary siren.
Those look like good builds to me! The only thing Iād change is the one point in Blight Phoenix. It depends a lot on your playstyle, but Iād either go with 0 or 5 points. It gets quite a bad rep as a skill but I really like using it, especially in conjunction with Life Tap if you ever experiment with that. You donāt have to be nose to nose with enemies, however it does require fairly close proximity to trigger. In order to have it make a battlefield difference I fill it up (or else skip it).
Iām also not the biggest fan of Sustenance, though thatās mainly because I either go full Harmony and skip it for Life Tap, or put those points into Motion and fill up Inertia / Quicken. The health regeneration is a bit too slow for my tastes. However, it does offer help in countering elemental dot so some people find it useful.
The āucpā is unofficial community patch - a community made āupdateā which brings in some interesting changes. Unfortunately I think itās only possible on pc.
