[DDD] Gaige’s skills for you! by pokapoka (ported by Poisd2Strike)
Part of the Dear Doctor Dumbass series by Blutfatal, this particular guide covers all of Gaige’s skills in detail, including reasons why you should or shouldn’t take it. Definitely worth a look if you’re starting out!
Gaiges General and Skill Tree Deficiencies by 0verload
Even the most flawless of Anarchy users are actually, well, a tad flawed. This highlights Gaige’s problems in UVHM, with possible solutions that Gearbox could apply without making her OP.
List of Mechromancer/Deathtrap Bugs and A.I Problems by 0verload
A thread that does exactly what it says in the title. A read of this is recommended, because knowing what unintentional issues there are with Gaige’s skills, including the action skill itself, could prove important when actually playing the game.

For people loving DeathTrap by nfwp
To quote the first reply in the thread, this is an “awesome showcase of DTs power at OP8”. If you want the best out of your action skill, backed up with videos, this really should be your first port-of-call.
Shrimpling’s Interspersed Outburst and Manic Technophile Builds by VaultHunter101
Created back when IO was more dismissed than accepted, Shrimpling did an excellent job of bringing attention to one of Gaige’s more underrated skills. Now thanks to VaultHunter101 this information includes new and improved builds.
Slag, Wind and Fire by draug
Discard Electrical Burn at your peril! In the thread you’ll find the maths and a build to bring out EB’s true potential, while elsewhere there are a couple of videos, again by the same guy, to provide backup.
The Secretest Secrets of The Nth Degree by 0verload
Another excellent guide by “Dr. Gaige”. This one in particular goes into fantastic detail about The Nth Degree and is full of useful information, damage formulas, videos, screenshots etc.

There’s way more to this skill than having to take it to progress down the Ordered Chaos tree. Comes complete with the workings, results from using different weapons, and in the past was updated with a variety of different findings.

Gaige’s Completely Empirical Mod Guide by teks (ported by Gulfwulf)
“All I do is steal data and rewrite it”, quotes the original OP. Consider it rewrote in a matter that’s unique, entertaining and gives the only lowdown you’ll need when it comes to the attachable lunchboxes. That and this bomb-ass post neff_wp constructed.

Bahroo’s Raid Guide for the Poorly Geared - Gaige Edition by Bahroo
Only the first four released raids are covered, due to the last edit being in December 2012. Regardless, the information and sheer time that was taken here are plain to see and should be seen by those who reckon they are rubbish at raiding.

Still considered one of the best LBT builds by a few, this thread suffered with a lack of updates after the level 61 cap. Ignore that factor, mind, as beyond the link still contains brilliant info, including a decent leveling guide which any shock Gaige could follow to this day.
