Hi there, so whilst I was browsing the build lists I came across a lot of broken links to past builds, some of which people once put a lot of effort into making, these group of posts (there is one for each character that have broken links) is to ask for peoples help in porting over the builds for everyone to be able to see them.
If you would like to pick up one of the builds, then please let me know bellow and I will up date the page to show who’s currently working that thread.
When porting the thread over you will need to:
Copy and Paste the work over
Fact check if you think any information is out of date (as in pre-patch buffs)
Format with colours and the text
If you need help with how the post should look please reference the Build Builders Bible
@IdlePhantom I was interested in checking some great Zero builds, but unfortunately your links don’t work. Am I missing something? Your post is recent.
i just checked them and am really confused as i only did all that this morning, however i thought this could happen so i copied every build from all my threads created today to seperate word documents to be safe, what build/builds were you looking at and ill see what i can sort out for now
Wow. Fast reply. What build do I want to check?, well, all of them :).
Now, more constructively, I play a level 26 Zero sniper/gunner on my first play/first character. Started some time ago, loved the hell out of this game, but put it a few times on hold (there are so many good games out there). I remember struggling in a few places: Caustic Caverns were the most infuriating; I only got through it with shotguns and rocket launchers, even if I preferred sniper rifles.
Now that I’m back, I started reading about how to play Zero well. I’ve reassigned my skill points, started playing it properly (Actually using Deception, duh!) and it seems to go much smoother. I’m seeing myself going into more depth.
Your post looks like a valuable contribution. It’s a pity to remain unusable. You could at least upload the docs to google docs or something.
This is very much a work in progress that only started last night. There is a mountain of work here and I think IdlePhantom is doing a great job so far.
Please be patient. This will take some weeks to get these all ported.
these builds are from the old forum from a few years agao and i am trying to go though and check them and then port them on to this forum once they have been updated to the right format
I’m aware there’s an issue with old forum links and such; I’ve been reading a few threads before joining. I don’t understand how it’s that complicated of an issue, but I’m aware it exists.
the complicated part is that we need to check the facts of the builds to make sure they are correct still with the patches since the were made and for some of them fleshing the build out so its of the proper format for the forum and explains why stuff is picked and used so people can understand the build that they are playing
i see a lot of Maya builds that don’t run cloud kill as they were made before it was good, so they just have 1 random point in Blight Phoenix.
and originally i ruled one of the builds out a lost, but upon digging around more and using different pathways in the archived pages i managed to find my way to it.
I guess with Cloud Kill it’s a simple matter of putting in a comment indicating why it’s absent from the build. Everyone takes it nowadays.
Unf0rseen is still regarded by some as a waste of points, so no need to worry about that.
I think Shock and A!!! was buffed to the point of being useful ( I take it but didn’t play Gaige pre-patch ). Not sure if that deserves a comment. Maybe.
I’m not sure about Krieg’s skills and how relevant they’ll be.
Just in case anyone is looking at porting any of these, I have Altair’s almost done ( half the port is at work, half at home ). Then I’ll get going on the enigmatically titled “Melee/Utility” build ( by VII ) shortly thereafter.
