Exactly how depends on your primary COM.

If youā€™re using SS that should mean the Legendary Binder. If so, give this a read

Thanks. What gear would you suggest?

Sorry for the lazy, but this is a great resource.

Slif also put recommendations in the above build.

are you actually at Level 80 (or the OP levels) or are you elsewhereā€¦I ask because we get lots of theoretical questions from people with characters at low levels about max level buildsā€¦Much of the time, playing through the game at lower levels gives you the knowledge to make better max level builds and also, the ideas behind a max level build often arenā€™t relevant at lower levelsā€¦

I am op1

Ok, so you do have the full points to work with thenā€¦Thereā€™s a lot on these topics and if you click on my or Jefeā€™s username, youā€™ll see other threads where we and other knowledgeable Maya players have given insight on these mattersā€¦

With any character, the question is ā€œhow do you kill stuff while staying aliveā€ and additionally youā€™d like ā€œhow can I help the team tooā€ā€¦

Before we go further, thereā€™s two solid high damage options that I recommend until you are more knowledgeable in the characterā€¦One will be based around the Leg Siren and a L72 build is here Iā€™m hesistant to give my L80 suggestion as I imagine theyā€™ll be a ton of nitpicking on it and that isnā€™t the point of my post, but here it is anywayā€¦Hopefully some of my discussion points will let you fill in the blanks on your ownā€¦ (edit: hereā€™s the updated L80 build from the master @Derch himself, thanks @nat_zero_six for posting that in another thread)

The idea behind this build is that you will be Phaselocking constantly and you have good control on that so you can aim for crits and you can switch from target to target at your leisureā€¦

The other will be based around the Leg Binder and a great example is what @jefe posted above

The idea behind this build is that you will be using Subsequence as a wrecking ball (which was my old idea for the name for this build, The Wrecking Ball, mine is a tiny variation of what @slif_one runs, the core is identical)ā€¦to fly around creating havoc with Converge, Ruin, and Chain Reaction while you shoot the bubbled target, reloading with the help of Inertia between targetsā€¦

Both builds are fantastic in terms of damage output for mobbing or the Peak. For raids, thereā€™s usually not much point to subsequenceā€¦

So therefore, which playstyle do you prefer is your first question to making your buildā€¦ In terms of Co-Op you can make an argument for eitherā€¦The primary way you will help your team is not through healing, it will be through killing things quickly, making targets available and slagged through Phaselock and Resā€™ing people. You will also provide healing mainly through Sweet Release, but occasionally Restoration (this skill doesnā€™t matter much). On the surface, the Leg Binder is the better choice as it provides team cooldown reduction and boosted Sweet Release, but if your playstyle suits the Leg Siren build better, then youā€™ll better help your team by wrecking sh#t and not dyingā€¦

A brief bit on skills, as @Jefe pointed out, Flicker, Blight Phoenix, and Sustenance arenā€™t very good.

Accelerate is one skill where itā€™s personal preference. The gun damage increase is minimal so itā€™s really do you like the projectile speed boost on the gear you use. I use the Bekah and pimpernel a lot and donā€™t like that projectile speed increase on them, however @slif_one does like the projectile speed increase on the Pimpernelā€¦So that skill is personal preference and if you like it, I can show you where you can shift points to it depending on which of the two main build you likeā€¦

For me, the only thing I really need to do for coop is put a point into Res, and a point into Restoration. Thatā€™s the basics of a coop friendly build. You can go more in-depth, and plenty of the people here will have great advice for that, but if youā€™re just looking for a primarily solo build that can also coop without having to respec, Res and a point in Restoration will cover you pretty well.
