So I finally understand Maya

Even though I need to wait to get back to a customization thing to change some stuff up using a different trickster COM, getting rid of KR), Maya is still unbelievably powerful. I’m not saying other characters can’t do this, but the ease with which I did this makes me think it’s not right.

Credit goes to Derch for helping me understand the mechanics, and jgcobb79 for being generous/awesome in providing the weapons.

I know it’s probably been done before, but I figured for all the people who don’t know Maya’s true ability, why not.

Since I’ve got you here I’ll go ahead and ask. The build I showed is what I’ve been playing with, but as I said I’m going to be changing it as soon as I can find a blue Blurred Trickster mod. My main question is do you think scorn is that worth it? I was going to do something very similar to your build but I just wanted a good opinion on Scorn haha

I love scorn and totally think its worth it. I have a hard time playing without it and when I started TPS I kept hitting the melee button trying to throw it. Ice scorn would of been amazing.

That being said if you don’t care for it don’t use it.

Well the more I got to thinking about it, the more it started to make sense if I were to use a Blurred Trickster COM. If I’ve got scorn, then I’m able to slag more often since I’ll have a longer cooldown on phaselock.

Might as well give it a try right? It’s not like my build is permanent once I respec haha. Thanks man.

Exactly, respecing is how you get to your perfect build. MOLMF just did a chain reaction video using scorn, check that out for another look.

Why Maya when you can Zer0?

Why hide when you can phaselock?

Why phase lock when you can B0re?

With b0re, don’t you pretty much have to make sure everything it hits is lined up in a nice little line…?

Edit: I’m really actually asking. I’ve not played extensively with Zer0, so I’m asking only based off my limited knowledge of him

Not really. Bunker and hypericum and omgwth and motor mama can be killed in one shot from the basic repeater from the tutorial.

In addition to Phase Lock, Maya has pseudo-B0re. It is called Chain Reaction. Maya also has the benefit of Converge + Ruin, which functions as a Slag Singularity grenade…

B0re is typically better on bosses, chain reaction is better on mobs and the rest of the game. That being said chain can one shot alot of bosses like bunker, saturn, UBA constructors, anything with overlapping hitboxes that has something to phaselock.

Do you by any chance know if Chain Reaction with phaselock can one shot BNK3R, Saturn, etc. on Xbox One / PS4 or is it still just on PC? I am probably going to get an Xbox One later this year (along with Handsome Collection), and plan on transferring my characters so am curious to know if this has been tested on the current gen consoles. I know that last-gen (Xbox 360 / PS3) didn’t have the processing power.

Very nice. What guns were you using there? The inventory screen goes by so fast in the video I couldn’t catch it.

I’ve been using a similar build with a corrosive kitten and homing sticky quasar, which is a bit slower but every bit as satisfying. I should try respeccing into kinetic reflection though…

I don’t, anyone with a xboxone or ps4 want to test this?

It looks like the SMG used in the video is a Bitch (Non-elemental) and the Sniper Rifle is a Pimpernel (Corrosive)…

[/quote]Correct. I had just gotten the Bitch so I was just testing it out. I was just farming the Bunker for an elemental version but of course, that’s too much to ask for.

Nevermind, it looks like the OP plays on PS4. So, apparently on PS4 (at least) it is possible for Maya to one shot BNK3R using Chain Reaction and phaselock…
