I’m a level 50 with elemental skill tree, nevermore head and verdant violence. Try it all out... really fun. I personally use fastball grenade, thunderball fists, slagga, conference call and lyuda/white death.
Maya was ultimately my favourite character and the one I used for UVHM. Her gameplay loop never got old, her skill tree gave me OCD in a good way and that cascading ruin in a high level build was sublime.
Honestly, I think Maya has the best crowed control in the game. Converge, wreck, thought lock, sub sequence, the left and right tree in tandem, with a few points in in the center tree leaves her both a great solo character, and an even better coop character. When I set up a game with other characters like Zero, and Salvador. I usually keep them alive and dealing the most damage they can without relying on the grog nozzle.
Based on how you build she can self heal incredibly, regain shields quickly, can do great damage by herself. Practically every weapon is very viable with her, spbuild right and she can be a better sniper than zer0. Not to mention that you can get her action skill back quickly and it's also a very good skill. Imo, it may be because im biased, but she may be the best all around character in the game. Her only real faults are not being able to phaselock threshers and being nearly useless against bigger bosses/raid bosses.
Michael Christofi I wouldn’t say better, maybe more efficient since she can use chain reaction in almost all situations, can tank enemy’s while sniping with her life steal and have insta slag with her ability’s. But yeah zero is the most op while using the snipers (even tough I find him quite slow using it, that’s why I choose maya for sniping and zero for melee).
Luis Gustavo ok i can agree with you on most points melee zero is reliable. If you go down on sniping tree lyuda will be the best due the spread pattern which is more predictable than the pimpernel ( and im not saying it out dpses the pimpernel, however certain conditions must be met for the pimpernel to shine due to its weird orb pattern). Whole point is that im trying to point how fast lyuda is. But yea melee zero can clear as fast law and order hide etc Dont know bout maya as much but i will say something unpopular here and this is in the form of Axton. Has really good raid clears and he can easily outdps maya with explosives and tediore chucking. Watch Demonite as reference😉
Michael Christofi I totally agree, Maya’s only problem is her raid skills which drop pretty fast after you lose reaper (which isn’t all that great on the raids either). As a maya main this is my only complain on her but it makes the challenge that the raids represent more fun and enjoyable to beat. About axton all I can say is that tediore builds on him is as strong as any zero, Gaige and krieg raid boss strategy’s (Salvador is broken OP), and I love demonite videos :3 .
Thoughtlock can be extremely useful for certain bosses that throw in smaller enemies. The slave enemy may not do any real damage, but it'll take the boss's attention to them and off the player. I cheesed the Handsome Sorcerer with this
Maya is my favourite character as a jack of all trades. She is pretty decent with pretty much any gun and works well for a character poping in and out of coop.
+Grym - maya is good regardless of level or gear, unlike sal, or other; - for co-op the best team are maya + sal, maya + gaige, maya + axton, maya + zer0, maya + krieg, maya+ maya... do you see a patern here ? - unlike the dwarf weakling in the game she don't need moxxi weapon to be viable on op levels because she have acces to life tap 10%healing on any damage for 7sec after a kill - phaselock..... that's it the skill is selfexplainatory. - best character with smg, assault riffle and arguably snipers, second best shotgun user - lorewise she way stronger than weakvador - chain reaction >>> B0re - hardest and at the same time easiest character to build as she have so many good skill, only fleet, recompense, and toughlock are lacking and they can still be good when played smartly, with blight phenix being the only trash-tier skil she have, sal which is often mistaken as the "best" have an entire trash-tier tree - easiest class to play as (typical noob mistake is to start with sal thinking he is easy to get around) - best bee user in the game thank to kinectic reflexion - not only does her skill trees give her good damage option but you have, easy slag, crowdcontroll, slag, mobility, instant slag, healing, good slaging tools, team-skill, defense, oh did i mention slag ? making her the most balance vault hunter in the game. and the best vault hunter in the game if you want a last proof she is the best joltz why do you think joltz did his first one-life with her ?
The Spectre Silver, the only moment sal is better than maya is when you fight raid bosses, unfortunatly borderlands is not cuphead so out of all the time you have playing, raids are not the thing you'll be doing the most
- i saw 36 question to man by women and one of them said "how can women be the weaker sex when we literaly birth you ?!", point is the fact that a specific organism (or in this case a character) can do something that another can't doesn't make him better and or stronger, yes axton is not gear dependent just like maya, and he have a great slaging tool (and distraction) as well. - yep (by the way people please dont use the nurse class mod for team play, the binder is better, and if you really want to be full healer a matriarch is better than the nurse) - out of the 11 skill that are in the tree only 5 (and i'm just including fistful of hurt because punching ennemies out off cliff is priceless) are good, and even then most of the time you'll have only 2 or 3 of them - wait i'm i the only guy who needs to get out of my way to find an un-phaselockable enemi, cause you don't see treshers often, and there is no invincible out in the wilds, or i'm i wrong ? - Zer0 is really good with jackobs shotgun, and krieg you'll have to sacrifice some good skill to get salt the wound, but it can pay of very well (but more due to blood bath than salt the wound) considering maya is good with all of them no matter the brand i'll argue she's better than both of them, sal , well he is the best no arguement against his mightyness with shotguns - ok - how wrong i'm i feel free to explain ? - "can be" maya is strong from the get go, she do not need moxxi weapons, she can use all gear unlike sal which gunzerk make dahl weapon un-usable, jackobs weapon other than shotgun hard to use, she have acces to slag in her skill tree, and a reliable way to slag, not a random chance to slag with kunai or a don't shoot to make a shot have a %age of chances to slag, no need to cary a slag weapon so all slots can be offensive - thanks to ward, inertia, kinetic refletion, life tap, and chain reaction (those last three can be bossted via a purple trickster), she become a real tank, you really need to be playing poorly to die when spec in that way: bl2skills.com/siren.html#412301400053152105314550510501 (my build with my main siren) - along with axton but better than him
I find Maya to be the most fun, and great for common enemies and some bosses, but I dont recall being able to breeze through the game compared to the likes of Gaige, Kreig, and Sal. I would compare her to Zer0, she can be broken, but you need a proper set up and good positioning to get the most out of her. She is probably the most consistent in power throughout the game (Next to Axton) compared to the others who get spikes and suffer during certain levels (Except Sal, but he is kinda, broken)
Fun fact, (at leat on xbox one version) the maya's skill "restauration" can fully deny the friendly fire damage of the Krieg's skill "fuel the rampage" with only 1 point spend, this proves to be, if no the best, one of the bests duos in the game because krieg can use this massive buff for the ofense and maya be the suport (with slag and quick heal) . (granades and meele can stil harm him)
Short answer: Y Long answer: Yes Maya is really powerful when it comes to elemental damage output, healing, reviving allies and her Scorn ability. When I phaselock an enemy I hit it with Scorn at the same time to boost damage output while shooting at it with a Shock Elemental weapon and a Transfusion Grenade so I could leech more life from it.
Playing through with my clan as Maya this time and the hardest part for me has been learning to hang back and heal and do more support. Great example of a character where you need to be able to effectively communicate with folks and set stuff up...you know...before you knock some bitches down! Good stuff!
@@Chokah Having health regen is highly useful. But the nurse class mod is simply not enough health regen to save you in combat. Unless you're using a on level Legendary Nurse, it isn't worth it. Just use an alternative way to heal, or a trickster/matriarch
+I am Cobalt By itself, you're right it isn't enough. But most characters have some form of Health regen as well, either in their skill trees or a class mod. Was thinking more that by using a good Nurse mod for a Healer Maya your partners could swap THEIR health regen mods out for something more useful in a fire fight, which would also have the possible side effect of not NEEDING to heal as much afterwards, then the ones that have a regen mod could swap back and use the stacking regen effects to recover faster.
Simple Fix for thought lock: once a enemy is brainwashed the skill should already start its cooldown + longer duration for every skill that looses its use in thought lock
Maya is like in my top 3 Classes to play as in Borderlands 2. Her acid drip can be an annoyance especially when you have to wound enemies just reach to the objective. Like during the wild life preservation where you have to weaken 3 Loaders to open a door. But other than that she's really easy to play cause you dont really need to carry slag missles when her phaselock can just slag the enemies.
@@dollin971 Your supposed to wound 3 loaders in order to spawn in those dumb flying drone which then will open the one door, but her Acid drip ability effect can cause just one loader bot to die off and then you have to wound another one.
and i'm telling you, you don't have to, your supose to wound them but if you kill all of them the door open regardless, as for the dwarf just shoot them when cloud kill is on cooldown
I'm playing her with the Community patch 4.1 and I'm steamrolling UVHM. The Phaselock, Ruin, Helios and Cloud Kill combo just destroys everything on its own. It's so powerful that I used the included optional nerf for Cloud Kill because it was just too OP. It gets a bit harder against unphaselockable enemies and bosses but it's still better than in the vanilla game because Ruin + Helios + Cloud Kill still does a respectable amount of damage anyway. Buzzards go down real fast, loaders are a joke, BNK-3R was easy... So far the only real threats are the Rift and Badass threshers and some mobs equiped with E-Tech rocket launchers (you can phaselock those though, so they aren't really hard to kill you just go down if you don't spot them quickly enough). Soloing raid bosses might still be difficult for Maya but otherwise she just wrecks the rest of the game.
Maya and gaige are the best for new or casual players, The skills that they have are very useful to help while in combat that would otherwise overwhelm players. They also have skills that would help against bosses like anarchy and fleet that would allow a player to run away and regen health after they attack the boss. While I prefer sniper builds or Salvador (Because he can pretty much do anything)I do like maya for farming or helping my friends to level them up.
I have a tendency of swapping between Axton, maya, Krieg and Gaige, none are stronger than the other in my opinion as you can make them unique in your own way
I think it would've been fine if they had allowed the buffs from Phaselocking enemies to still apply even if the Phaselock doesn't work on said enemy. It's such a kick in the dick to lose out on those buffs on bosses like Terra for example.
I came back to tell you guys thought lock is the best skill for solo AND co-op .thought lock counts as phaselock, and thought locking enemies makes them the prime target even after it wears off they still fight and take damage from other enemies, so not only does thought lock reduce agro to you, it also makes it 10x easier to Beehawk and get her bonus skills active. It’s broken because if you use thought lock on adds during a boss the boss will ignore you.
You made a video like this about every Borderlands 2 character but not for Salvador. I know he is pretty powerful, but it's not my main character, I would like to know his pros and cons (if he has any), because I really like the way you analyze game mechanics. And maybe you can even do this for borderlands the pre-sequel characters and in future for borderlands 3
I always have to organize my guns from top to bottom smallest to biggest. Switch from pistol to (smg or rifle), then shotgun, then your big weapon. (Sniper or launcher).
Thats kinda funny. For me its usually: 1st slot=pistol/smg/assault rifle, 2nd slot=shotgun, 3rd slot=sniper, 4th slot=launcher. Thats how i normally set up my characters weapon wise.
I was always disappointed with Thoughtlock and always respecked away from it. Also, Subsequence yields too much control in a tense combat, especially if Maya wants her phaselock to reset quickly for Ressing fallen Vault Hunters. My favorite build is one that relies on the Rough Rider and Fleet to get around, and then Elated to keep herself (and all other VH) at top health. When it's active, Maya regenerates faster than enemies can damage her. I use this build to farm levels where red chests can be accessed without having to kill anyone: she just runs past them. Restoration used to work with Bonus Packages, which was cause enough to always have one Siren around. It still works with Eridium rocket launchers.
Let me defend thoughtlock for a moment. Thoughtlock + converge + ruin + sub sequence is the ultimate get away, especially if you have some health regen based on phaselock too. Here's my logic: you're surrounded/mobbed and you can't see a way out. Thoughtlock a random enemy in the centre mass of the crowd; suddenly the whole crowd is pulled in that direction, slagged, electrocuted, burnt and corroded. You get a moment while they're staggered to run, but more importantly, they've got a new hostile; the guy you just thoughtlocked. The guy you just thoughtlocked is going to be destroyed by his former comrades, and as soon as that happens the tracking orb latches onto someone else who's nearby because of converge. Another ruin series, you can watch from a distance and use cloud kill or just a weapon with low accuracy to bullet spray into the crowd that formed, really add insult to injury. This works especially nicely because thoughtlock extends the time of phaselock, so you have a bit longer to get out of a sticky situation and regen if you want.
Miss Maya is my favorite. Having played her many times and completed the story many times, I never waste time with sub sequence and or thought lock. Just spend points to converge then fill out the other skill trees........get ruin and life tap and Miss Maya is unstoppable as long as you do not rush in like Salvador. With just a small amount of caution the Witch girl is deadly. I suppose all the characters are good if you build them right.....but Maya is just plain fun. I have a high level OP Salvador but he is simply boring............but if you need a Norfleet or something you can send Sal........then give it to Maya. Not that she cannot kill a raid boss but it takes her ten minutes while Sal does so in seconds. Hearing a Nomad say.........kill that Witch........never gets old. Cheers!!
even when there are phaselock immune mobs there is usually always something you can phase lock giving you most of the skills that revolve around phaselock. I never really ran into problems with that and also i always open phaselock on those drones for easy kill then the phaselock hunts other mobs to lock up.
If I could make one change to Maya, it would be having _Sweet Release_ work on enemies that can't be phase locked if the instant damage it causes instead killed them. Having all phase lock-synergy skills work for a few seconds would be even better, but I'd settle for just Sweet Release partially working, so I could heal myself dealing with groups of weaker immune enemies. I'm currently level 60, and other than phase lock immune enemies, and general UVHM stuff, the most annoying thing I've had to deal with is missions with weapon restrictions, because cloudkill or DOT always end up getting the kill instead of the weapon, and I don't want to respec just for a minor sidequest. Cloudkill was my main source of damage until I got The Bee in UVHM.
She was my first character to play on Bl2. After 3000+ hrs of gameplay on bl2, I must say that of all the different characters I prefer maya. Don't get me wrong, Krieg is probably the most fun to play from normal mode until UVHM lv 72, but when OP levels come into play Krieg loses his options. Maya on the otherhand has so much mob control and combo she can do in order to destroy enemies. She is just a pain for bossing, but other than that she is the best. Salavador gets boring from never dying with a grog nozzle. Gaige gets boring from anarchy norfleet. Zer0 is at least AS enjoyable as maya (many combo and with the player's experience Zer0 is REALLY satisfying to play). Axton is also a great character to play since he can switch weapon so quickly (makes slag easy to apply).
I feel like a huge opportunity was missed for end game, if she had a damage boost or augment to her action skill or damage or somthing based on how much eridium in her backpack, would have been logical and helped with end game after all upgrades are purchased.
I mostly run a DPS centered Maya for solo play, but I do love going coop sometimes and respeccing for a slag focused support class paired with a DPS player or two to take advantage of the slag. Slag support Maya goes great with Kreig
I think people shouldnt think about Thoughtlock as the "Mindcontroll ability" and more about the Phaselock with benefits. While some enemys maybe going haywire most still remain in their place making them easy to hit, the time they are thoughtlocked counts as Phaselocked for abilitys and best case they even get some damage out - even though most of the time just kill them immediatly to make it bounce to the next enemy whois very close thanks to convergencens. Thoughtlock and Subsequence together with Convergence and the Cataclysm Tree can cause some crazy shit to happen. Also the 3 bonsu seconds in duration really are noticable during the Subsequence travel time.
Not only bad, but it was without a dought, the worst and most useless skill in the game. Even on normal mode,matching elements,and slagging it still does shit damage. And then they buffed its damage by about 10000 and made it so one cloud kill now is equal to 100 cloud kills before😂
A friend and I used to play BL2 years ago, we would sometimes both choose Maya, which is heaps of fun. (And OP unstoppable). The only time I had more fun is with 4 Soldiers and a trainer............Oh The Sweet Carnage..
4 Axtons, each with the double turret thing... God, i wish i had friends. If Axton could just make a dispenser then we would have a precise simulation of every 2fort match in TF2.
Hard to find that perfect turtle shield for that but if you can gind it than its amazing. Good for raiding. I found a good op3 hoplite and it takes my health down to 20k. Limit for healthgate build. I use antagonist with a blurred trickster build for mobbing. The recompense build is cool too. 11/5 so when an enemy shoots you it reflects off of you and hits them. There a videos of this build killing pete. And then you habe the backdraft/ shock slowhand build thats amazing. If you dont know about that build check it out on CZcams
Grabbed the handsome collection recently I played zero back when the game first came out that said Maya has been super fun to play around with this time, though I wish I could find a better binder class mod.
Maya is DEVASTATING at mobbing, like really, they never stand a chance if you have tactitc. To me so far she is the easiest class to learn cuz her skills are so harmonized, and phaselock with the dmg/healing/bulletproof (
These videos and your channel are great, one thing for constructive criticism; personally, when you blur the background footage when putting text on the screen it kind of hurts my eyes.. not sure why but personally I'd prefer a static background or just having the text over the footage, it should be easy enough to see. Other than that, amazing work! This is by far my fav BL2 channel, and as a newcomer to BL2 your videos are super informative and easy to understand from a beginner's perspective!
Hell yeah Cloud Kill is OP. I took it off her in order to rebalance for Wreck (I'm only level 19 with her, so I really don't have enough perk points ATM), and the difference it made was immediately obvious when I didn't have it. If you play Maya, you NEED Cloud Kill, simple as.
i dont agree about the thought lock thing. ive found it to be very useful in different situations. i use that with suspension and convergence and helios and subsequence. so what happens is i convert one dude, usually converting a weaker enemy is most ideal. the point isnt to get your new subordinate to kill the enemies but for you to chain your sick combo over and over with an overall longer period of time. phaselock one, nearby enemies are sucked in and burned by helios, and if youre far enough the other enemies will instantly focus on your converted one. next start shooting and killing the SAME one you converted, the faster the better, because then phaselock will convert the next one and again doing the convergence and helios DoT all over again. combine that with chain reaction and cloud kill and it becomes really great and easy to clear groups of enemies.
Maya is my favorite character in bl2 I played as her like a 1000 times and I never get bored/tired but tbh I'm not sure who is the best character in bl2 tbh can someone help me with that
The Borderlands 2 community generally considers Salvador to be the best character by a very large margin, with some people going so far as to say he's the game's unofficial easy mode.
Maya is a BEAST!!!! Her & axton my fav! You can play KILLER or HEALER maya with right gear. Maya with the bee, cat mod. Sandhawk.florentine.cloudkill!.rez. Ruln. she is simply a BEAST if you know how to gear and use her right!!!
beeing a fast and healing maya player in co-op a fucking god send with the infinity gun and some good timing some raid bosses died easy. but the OP lvl farming was hell the first 3 unlocks, then i got a sniper and boom even when i died i could do some healing and in less then 2 hours op 8 was unlocked. god the game was good
Hell yeah she's fun to play as,her abilities are awesome and seeing I love using smg's she's definitely one of my favorite characters,my true favorite is still my gunzerker then siren then necromancer,if you know how to have the best build as well as weapons and items these 3 are OP asf
I am honestly scared to try UVHM solo with Axton (i think I managed to stay close to level 50 but with much difficulty, thankfully I have loads of keys), and I didnt do the holiday dlc's with him. I wanna do those but with a new character. I am deciding thanks to you Puma between Maya and Zer0. Maya seems fun with phaselock solo, but perhaps Zer0 MIGHT make my aim better in a certain MMO shooter that will go unnamed. Either way, I enjoy your videos.
Still watching in 2020. I really like Maya, but I think one point you missed out on is her ability to deal multi-elemental damage with sufficient investment in Cataclysm. Minus a couple of skills which I forget off the top of my head (I think one may be Flicker) I'm almost fully invested in the tree. Ruin will electrocute, slag and corrode all at once, and combined with some kind of fire weapon, you can deal every single type of elemental damage in the game, which also leads to insane amounts of DPS. This also means she can be very versatile when dealing with enemies with armour or high shields. In Borderlands 1, I always favoured Roland, but in 2 Maya wins out for me
Chain Reaction is much more useful for damage than Bore, not requiring lining up mobs. You can also one shot some of the same few bosses Bore can. The most useful thing about Bore is how your bullets can no longer be reflected. I guess you completely missed the point of Thoughtlock. Charming an enemy does far more than merely converting an enemy into an ally. Typically every enemy near your thoughtlocked mob suddenly ignore you and your coop party entirely, since they now fully agro the one you charmed. This is the ultimate crowd control, and this is far more valuable for Beehawking than an SMG passive buff, considering your flimsy Bee is never being broken. To see how laughably powerful Thoughtlock can be, find the youtube video of 4 Maya's doing OP8 Digistruct Peak where 3 of them have specced into thoughtlock. A solo Thoughtlock Maya lays waste to entire zones using Sub-Sequence\Thoughtlock.
DD107: Uh no. Not stupid at all!! Spec into Cloud kill and kinetic reflection and you can kill enemies without firing a shot(once you proc he kill skill). Cloud kill is OP on reg and tvhm like the comment says. One shot kills most enemies. Notice he said " arguably? " I agree with him about CC
my bad i should have explain, she is not arguably the best, she IS the best and not because of cloud kill but because of skills like life tap, kinetic reflexion, chain reaction, ruin, inertia, cloud kill being just a nice bonus, and lastely he say she is the best for normal and tvhm as if she is weak on uvhm and op level (totaly ignoring the fact that unlike most of the other vault hunter she doesnt need weapon to slag making playing her way easier for all the slag allergic out there)
I finished tvhm without any healing skills or shield boost. Just offensive weapons. I rarely went into ffyl. The main thing that made it really easy was cloud kill(along with others) I play on 360 so this is before cloud kill was nerfed. Cloud kill is useless on uvhm. I heard is much better now on uvhm after the patch but I wouldn't know. If I could only have one skill on vhm and tvhm it would be cloud kill.
I dont necessarily agree with some of what your saying about her phaselock. She can phase Locke any enemy and bosses in the game with elemental effect damage from her cloud kill skill. She just can't lift some enemies. Bee hawking with legendary cat class mod is her bread And butter. And stop comparing everyone to salvador he's a glitched op character that shouldn't be able grog dpuh. Its not even a fun class to play. And even at that probably the hardest to level. The 2 best classes in the game to play is Axton and Maya in coop those two have the best synergy together
Maya is the first character i passed level 50 with thw only flaw i see with maya is her health its way to low im at level 65 and only 300000 health comparing that to salvador or craig its way low
Why would you thought-lock ? Just go full dps using all the red and all the green skills except thought-lock. Maya becomes an unstopable elemental force. Also imo, plague fox or hell witch is a way better mod as it increase both the initial damage and lingering dot of fire or corrosive damage.
i know this is off topic but can anyone help??? i'm at lvl55. i have both the dlc uvhm pack#1 & #2 BUT my gun drops only show lvl50 never any higher......why??? i can join other players online and pick up their gun which vary....say lvl52 pistol and maybe a lvl54 smg.....these gun will stay at the correct lvl when i play alone..BUT BUT in my solo game AAALLLLL my gun drops are ALWAYS at lvl 50.....never higher.....WHY??? its very frustrating....re downloaded both packs several time....nothing!!!
ZEROmg tvhm level caps at 50. So you'll never get a gun over level 50 in tvhm. You'll have to go uvhm for that. If you're below level 58 though, you can just bee+Harold+any slag source through uvhm, even with all of those at level 50.
i didn't have fun playing maya my first time playing bl2. but i saw siren and was expecting some op lilith crud, so her playstyle wasn't what i was expecting so maybe i was just playing her wrong? idk.
The reason some enemies are immune to the phaselock ability is because by plot Maya is still learning her siren powers
She is pretty fun to play
I’m a level 50 with elemental skill tree, nevermore head and verdant violence. Try it all out... really fun.
I personally use fastball grenade, thunderball fists, slagga, conference call and lyuda/white death.
The only DLC I have is Krieg... but I have no regrets. Level 50 is still fun in UVHM.
Wish I could find a bee shield for her on PS4 no luck lol
I finally got Xbox one with handsome collection. Time to get level 72s of everyone!
@@glassofwater281 Have fun!
Maya was ultimately my favourite character and the one I used for UVHM. Her gameplay loop never got old, her skill tree gave me OCD in a good way and that cascading ruin in a high level build was sublime.
Honestly, I think Maya has the best crowed control in the game.
Converge, wreck, thought lock, sub sequence, the left and right tree in tandem, with a few points in in the center tree leaves her both a great solo character, and an even better coop character.
When I set up a game with other characters like Zero, and Salvador. I usually keep them alive and dealing the most damage they can without relying on the grog nozzle.

If u finish the right tree her phase lock still slags bosses so there is that
Better than zero??😂 please explain in what way maya can be a better sniper than zero? Crit damage bore critical ascension.go on please
Michael Christofi I wouldn’t say better, maybe more efficient since she can use chain reaction in almost all situations, can tank enemy’s while sniping with her life steal and have insta slag with her ability’s.
But yeah zero is the most op while using the snipers (even tough I find him quite slow using it, that’s why I choose maya for sniping and zero for melee).
Luis Gustavo ok i can agree with you on most points melee zero is reliable. If you go down on sniping tree lyuda will be the best due the spread pattern which is more predictable than the pimpernel ( and im not saying it out dpses the pimpernel, however certain conditions must be met for the pimpernel to shine due to its weird orb pattern). Whole point is that im trying to point how fast lyuda is.
But yea melee zero can clear as fast law and order hide etc
Dont know bout maya as much but i will say something unpopular here and this is in the form of Axton. Has really good raid clears and he can easily outdps maya with explosives and tediore chucking. Watch Demonite as reference😉
Michael Christofi I totally agree, Maya’s only problem is her raid skills which drop pretty fast after you lose reaper (which isn’t all that great on the raids either). As a maya main this is my only complain on her but it makes the challenge that the raids represent more fun and enjoyable to beat.
About axton all I can say is that tediore builds on him is as strong as any zero, Gaige and krieg raid boss strategy’s (Salvador is broken OP), and I love demonite videos :3 .
I've been playing bl2 since release and I still find these videos for newer players interesting. Keep up the great work!
Thoughtlock can be extremely useful for certain bosses that throw in smaller enemies.
The slave enemy may not do any real damage, but it'll take the boss's attention to them and off the player.
I cheesed the Handsome Sorcerer with this
I was surprised when I found out I was able to phaselock blue
Maya is my favourite character as a jack of all trades. She is pretty decent with pretty much any gun and works well for a character poping in and out of coop.
I was trying to choose between Maya and Zero for my second run, and your video has really helped! Maya it is. Thanks!
Maya was my first character to really get into. I loved her.
you know its about my favorite character (which is by far the best character in the game) when i'm here only 10min after the video has been posted.
Salvador is technically the best class in the game (Because he is broken as hell) But he tends to get boring super quick in my opinion
+Grym
- maya is good regardless of level or gear, unlike sal, or other;
- for co-op the best team are maya + sal, maya + gaige, maya + axton, maya + zer0, maya + krieg, maya+ maya... do you see a patern here ?
- unlike the dwarf weakling in the game she don't need moxxi weapon to be viable on op levels because she have acces to life tap 10%healing on any damage for 7sec after a kill
- phaselock..... that's it the skill is selfexplainatory.
- best character with smg, assault riffle and arguably snipers, second best shotgun user
- lorewise she way stronger than weakvador
- chain reaction >>> B0re
- hardest and at the same time easiest character to build as she have so many good skill, only fleet, recompense, and toughlock are lacking and they can still be good when played smartly, with blight phenix being the only trash-tier skil she have, sal which is often mistaken as the "best" have an entire trash-tier tree
- easiest class to play as (typical noob mistake is to start with sal thinking he is easy to get around)
- best bee user in the game thank to kinectic reflexion
- not only does her skill trees give her good damage option but you have, easy slag, crowdcontroll, slag, mobility, instant slag, healing, good slaging tools, team-skill, defense, oh did i mention slag ? making her the most balance vault hunter in the game. and the best vault hunter in the game
if you want a last proof she is the best joltz why do you think joltz did his first one-life with her ?
The Spectre Silver, the only moment sal is better than maya is when you fight raid bosses, unfortunatly borderlands is not cuphead so out of all the time you have playing, raids are not the thing you'll be doing the most
- i saw 36 question to man by women and one of them said "how can women be the weaker sex when we literaly birth you ?!", point is the fact that a specific organism (or in this case a character) can do something that another can't doesn't make him better and or stronger, yes axton is not gear dependent just like maya, and he have a great slaging tool (and distraction) as well.
- yep (by the way people please dont use the nurse class mod for team play, the binder is better, and if you really want to be full healer a matriarch is better than the nurse)
- out of the 11 skill that are in the tree only 5 (and i'm just including fistful of hurt because punching ennemies out off cliff is priceless) are good, and even then most of the time you'll have only 2 or 3 of them
- wait i'm i the only guy who needs to get out of my way to find an un-phaselockable enemi, cause you don't see treshers often, and there is no invincible out in the wilds, or i'm i wrong ?
- Zer0 is really good with jackobs shotgun, and krieg you'll have to sacrifice some good skill to get salt the wound, but it can pay of very well (but more due to blood bath than salt the wound) considering maya is good with all of them no matter the brand i'll argue she's better than both of them, sal , well he is the best no arguement against his mightyness with shotguns
- ok
- how wrong i'm i feel free to explain ?
- "can be" maya is strong from the get go, she do not need moxxi weapons, she can use all gear unlike sal which gunzerk make dahl weapon un-usable, jackobs weapon other than shotgun hard to use, she have acces to slag in her skill tree, and a reliable way to slag, not a random chance to slag with kunai or a don't shoot to make a shot have a %age of chances to slag, no need to cary a slag weapon so all slots can be offensive
- thanks to ward, inertia, kinetic refletion, life tap, and chain reaction (those last three can be bossted via a purple trickster), she become a real tank, you really need to be playing poorly to die when spec in that way: bl2skills.com/siren.html#412301400053152105314550510501 (my build with my main siren)
- along with axton but better than him
I find Maya to be the most fun, and great for common enemies and some bosses, but I dont recall being able to breeze through the game compared to the likes of Gaige, Kreig, and Sal. I would compare her to Zer0, she can be broken, but you need a proper set up and good positioning to get the most out of her. She is probably the most consistent in power throughout the game (Next to Axton) compared to the others who get spikes and suffer during certain levels (Except Sal, but he is kinda, broken)
When you go for the red skill tree first, forgot what it is called, she is really fun to play
The critical giggle always makes me smile.
Fun fact, (at leat on xbox one version) the maya's skill "restauration" can fully deny the friendly fire damage of the Krieg's skill "fuel the rampage" with only 1 point spend, this proves to be, if no the best, one of the bests duos in the game because krieg can use this massive buff for the ofense and maya be the suport (with slag and quick heal) . (granades and meele can stil harm him)
Krieg and maya synergies so well
When you combine maya and krieg you can take out pretty much everything
Your recent videos have gotten me back into this game. Glad the community is still alive.
Short answer: Y
Long answer: Yes
Maya is really powerful when it comes to elemental damage output, healing, reviving allies and her Scorn ability. When I phaselock an enemy I hit it with Scorn at the same time to boost damage output while shooting at it with a Shock Elemental weapon and a Transfusion Grenade so I could leech more life from it.
Playing through with my clan as Maya this time and the hardest part for me has been learning to hang back and heal and do more support.
Great example of a character where you need to be able to effectively communicate with folks and set stuff up...you know...before you knock some bitches down!
Good stuff!
With a good damage/medic skills, she can be a beast
Especially with a good Nurse class mod which gives boosts Team health regen
+Chokah True.
can u double nortfleet and shoot 10 times with a 2 shot mag? yeah i didnt think so
@@Chokah
Having health regen is highly useful. But the nurse class mod is simply not enough health regen to save you in combat. Unless you're using a on level Legendary Nurse, it isn't worth it. Just use an alternative way to heal, or a trickster/matriarch
+I am Cobalt By itself, you're right it isn't enough. But most characters have some form of Health regen as well, either in their skill trees or a class mod. Was thinking more that by using a good Nurse mod for a Healer Maya your partners could swap THEIR health regen mods out for something more useful in a fire fight, which would also have the possible side effect of not NEEDING to heal as much afterwards, then the ones that have a regen mod could swap back and use the stacking regen effects to recover faster.
maya is my favourite character for solo play
Your obsession with this game is crazy. You've made like 10 different versions of every video.
and he still don't know how bad magic missilese are specialy on maya
I for one love to still see new Bl2 vids
@@ibdude I'm not hating it's just crazy
Yeah but bl2 is really good
If he keeps making them, I'll keep watching, this game is epic.
Simple Fix for thought lock:
once a enemy is brainwashed the skill should already start its cooldown + longer duration for every skill that looses its use in thought lock
Maya is like in my top 3 Classes to play as in Borderlands 2. Her acid drip can be an annoyance especially when you have to wound enemies just reach to the objective. Like during the wild life preservation where you have to weaken 3 Loaders to open a door. But other than that she's really easy to play cause you dont really need to carry slag missles when her phaselock can just slag the enemies.
if you kill the robots the door opens anyway
@@dollin971 Your supposed to wound 3 loaders in order to spawn in those dumb flying drone which then will open the one door, but her Acid drip ability effect can cause just one loader bot to die off and then you have to wound another one.
Yep, for that and the dwarf one in Tiny Tina's, I respecced out of Cloud Kill, then back into it once the mission was done.
and i'm telling you, you don't have to, your supose to wound them but if you kill all of them the door open regardless, as for the dwarf just shoot them when cloud kill is on cooldown
Good idea about shooting them on cooldown, I never thought of that before!
I also like the skill that pulls enemies in when you phaselock.
By far my favorite character.
Sal is my go to for raid boss farming. But when it comes to fun factor, I've had the most fun playing as maya and krieg.
I'm playing her with the Community patch 4.1 and I'm steamrolling UVHM. The Phaselock, Ruin, Helios and Cloud Kill combo just destroys everything on its own. It's so powerful that I used the included optional nerf for Cloud Kill because it was just too OP. It gets a bit harder against unphaselockable enemies and bosses but it's still better than in the vanilla game because Ruin + Helios + Cloud Kill still does a respectable amount of damage anyway. Buzzards go down real fast, loaders are a joke, BNK-3R was easy... So far the only real threats are the Rift and Badass threshers and some mobs equiped with E-Tech rocket launchers (you can phaselock those though, so they aren't really hard to kill you just go down if you don't spot them quickly enough). Soloing raid bosses might still be difficult for Maya but otherwise she just wrecks the rest of the game.
Maya and gaige are the best for new or casual players, The skills that they have are very useful to help while in combat that would otherwise overwhelm players. They also have skills that would help against bosses like anarchy and fleet that would allow a player to run away and regen health after they attack the boss. While I prefer sniper builds or Salvador (Because he can pretty much do anything)I do like maya for farming or helping my friends to level them up.
I have a tendency of swapping between Axton, maya, Krieg and Gaige, none are stronger than the other in my opinion as you can make them unique in your own way
Thoughtlock is okay solo when paired with the regen-while-somethings-locked skill.
I think it would've been fine if they had allowed the buffs from Phaselocking enemies to still apply even if the Phaselock doesn't work on said enemy. It's such a kick in the dick to lose out on those buffs on bosses like Terra for example.
I came back to tell you guys thought lock is the best skill for solo AND co-op .thought lock counts as phaselock, and thought locking enemies makes them the prime target even after it wears off they still fight and take damage from other enemies, so not only does thought lock reduce agro to you, it also makes it 10x easier to Beehawk and get her bonus skills active. It’s broken because if you use thought lock on adds during a boss the boss will ignore you.
You made a video like this about every Borderlands 2 character but not for Salvador. I know he is pretty powerful, but it's not my main character, I would like to know his pros and cons (if he has any), because I really like the way you analyze game mechanics. And maybe you can even do this for borderlands the pre-sequel characters and in future for borderlands 3
Strongest character in all borderlands games imo absolutely broken character and stomps through the game
@@Jhot03 is for the fact that weapons in both hands gain passive effect of each other, yes?
I always have to organize my guns from top to bottom smallest to biggest. Switch from pistol to (smg or rifle), then shotgun, then your big weapon. (Sniper or launcher).
Thats kinda funny. For me its usually: 1st slot=pistol/smg/assault rifle, 2nd slot=shotgun, 3rd slot=sniper, 4th slot=launcher. Thats how i normally set up my characters weapon wise.
@@noname-md6pw I just don't use launchers very often but that works
If you thoughtlock surveyors, they will heal or shield you
Oh wow, thanks for that tip!!!
Thoughtlock can be used on surveyors so they heal you
I was always disappointed with Thoughtlock and always respecked away from it. Also, Subsequence yields too much control in a tense combat, especially if Maya wants her phaselock to reset quickly for Ressing fallen Vault Hunters.
My favorite build is one that relies on the Rough Rider and Fleet to get around, and then Elated to keep herself (and all other VH) at top health. When it's active, Maya regenerates faster than enemies can damage her. I use this build to farm levels where red chests can be accessed without having to kill anyone: she just runs past them.
Restoration used to work with Bonus Packages, which was cause enough to always have one Siren around. It still works with Eridium rocket launchers.
Let me defend thoughtlock for a moment.
Thoughtlock + converge + ruin + sub sequence is the ultimate get away, especially if you have some health regen based on phaselock too.
Here's my logic: you're surrounded/mobbed and you can't see a way out. Thoughtlock a random enemy in the centre mass of the crowd; suddenly the whole crowd is pulled in that direction, slagged, electrocuted, burnt and corroded. You get a moment while they're staggered to run, but more importantly, they've got a new hostile; the guy you just thoughtlocked. The guy you just thoughtlocked is going to be destroyed by his former comrades, and as soon as that happens the tracking orb latches onto someone else who's nearby because of converge. Another ruin series, you can watch from a distance and use cloud kill or just a weapon with low accuracy to bullet spray into the crowd that formed, really add insult to injury. This works especially nicely because thoughtlock extends the time of phaselock, so you have a bit longer to get out of a sticky situation and regen if you want.
Miss Maya is my favorite. Having played her many times and completed the story many times, I never waste time with sub sequence and or thought lock. Just spend points to converge then fill out the other skill trees........get ruin and life tap and Miss Maya is unstoppable as long as you do not rush in like Salvador. With just a small amount of caution the Witch girl is deadly.
I suppose all the characters are good if you build them right.....but Maya is just plain fun.
I have a high level OP Salvador but he is simply boring............but if you need a Norfleet or something you can send Sal........then give it to Maya. Not that she cannot kill a raid boss but it takes her ten minutes while Sal does so in seconds.
Hearing a Nomad say.........kill that Witch........never gets old.
Cheers!!
I found sub sequence very good a cataclysm motion build is very good
even when there are phaselock immune mobs there is usually always something you can phase lock giving you most of the skills that revolve around phaselock. I never really ran into problems with that and also i always open phaselock on those drones for easy kill then the phaselock hunts other mobs to lock up.
Yes, for all of the above, Maya is my favorite character!
yeah me too i tried the others ain't much fun but Maya won't be easily died for me
Yeah she's awsome. But zero is 1 forever and ever
I love thoughtlock and scorn over ruin
I love playing maya
She's such a fashion icon
Cool video dude. Yeah mayo + smg's + bee shield = very quick kick ass.
If I could make one change to Maya, it would be having _Sweet Release_ work on enemies that can't be phase locked if the instant damage it causes instead killed them. Having all phase lock-synergy skills work for a few seconds would be even better, but I'd settle for just Sweet Release partially working, so I could heal myself dealing with groups of weaker immune enemies.
I'm currently level 60, and other than phase lock immune enemies, and general UVHM stuff, the most annoying thing I've had to deal with is missions with weapon restrictions, because cloudkill or DOT always end up getting the kill instead of the weapon, and I don't want to respec just for a minor sidequest. Cloudkill was my main source of damage until I got The Bee in UVHM.
Let's just sum it all up like this: All fo the playable characters are good in different ways, and Borderlands 2 is a generally good game.
Man I miss Maya.
That thresher still triggers me
Had tougher time killing it in normal than in UVHM with Maya
She was my first character to play on Bl2. After 3000+ hrs of gameplay on bl2, I must say that of all the different characters I prefer maya. Don't get me wrong, Krieg is probably the most fun to play from normal mode until UVHM lv 72, but when OP levels come into play Krieg loses his options.
Maya on the otherhand has so much mob control and combo she can do in order to destroy enemies. She is just a pain for bossing, but other than that she is the best.
Salavador gets boring from never dying with a grog nozzle.
Gaige gets boring from anarchy norfleet.
Zer0 is at least AS enjoyable as maya (many combo and with the player's experience Zer0 is REALLY satisfying to play).
Axton is also a great character to play since he can switch weapon so quickly (makes slag easy to apply).
Slag's really easy for Axton since you can have his turret apply it for ya.
@@Chokah Yeah that too ! But the fact that axton is one of the only who doesn't rely on his action skill to apply slag effectively ;)
*Points to my Nurse Maya using Slagga and a Slag Rubi* All depends on who ya farming =P
Axton coff coff
grenade DMG coff coff
Sickvibe1 coff coff gaige with slagga and CE/nth degree coff coff
Maya and Zer0 do a freackin great combo, I mean she stucks enemies and then Zer0 one shots him while she kills other enemies
Breakneck banshee class mod with the rough rider = hilarious
I feel like a huge opportunity was missed for end game, if she had a damage boost or augment to her action skill or damage or somthing based on how much eridium in her backpack, would have been logical and helped with end game after all upgrades are purchased.
I mostly run a DPS centered Maya for solo play, but I do love going coop sometimes and respeccing for a slag focused support class paired with a DPS player or two to take advantage of the slag. Slag support Maya goes great with Kreig
I think people shouldnt think about Thoughtlock as the "Mindcontroll ability" and more about the Phaselock with benefits. While some enemys maybe going haywire most still remain in their place making them easy to hit, the time they are thoughtlocked counts as Phaselocked for abilitys and best case they even get some damage out - even though most of the time just kill them immediatly to make it bounce to the next enemy whois very close thanks to convergencens. Thoughtlock and Subsequence together with Convergence and the Cataclysm Tree can cause some crazy shit to happen. Also the 3 bonsu seconds in duration really are noticable during the Subsequence travel time.
Miss ya puma, hope you come back one day
Lol now recompense can be used to instakill Haderax so it’s not exactly lousy anymore.
Bro I actually choked when he said the cloud kill use to be bad
Not only bad, but it was without a dought, the worst and most useless skill in the game. Even on normal mode,matching elements,and slagging it still does shit damage. And then they buffed its damage by about 10000 and made it so one cloud kill now is equal to 100 cloud kills before😂
A friend and I used to play BL2 years ago, we would sometimes both choose Maya, which is heaps of fun. (And OP unstoppable).
The only time I had more fun is with 4 Soldiers and a trainer............Oh The Sweet Carnage..
4 Axtons, each with the double turret thing... God, i wish i had friends.
If Axton could just make a dispenser then we would have a precise simulation of every 2fort match in TF2.
Back at it again wit the borderlands video sadly my pc is busted and I can no longer play but keep play fallout 4 I have that for ps4
Capping Harmony and Cataclysm, that's the way to go
Have an op8 health gate build with her, practically can't die lol
Hard to find that perfect turtle shield for that but if you can gind it than its amazing. Good for raiding. I found a good op3 hoplite and it takes my health down to 20k. Limit for healthgate build. I use antagonist with a blurred trickster build for mobbing. The recompense build is cool too. 11/5 so when an enemy shoots you it reflects off of you and hits them. There a videos of this build killing pete. And then you habe the backdraft/ shock slowhand build thats amazing. If you dont know about that build check it out on CZcams
Grabbed the handsome collection recently I played zero back when the game first came out that said Maya has been super fun to play around with this time, though I wish I could find a better binder class mod.
I love Maya, I just don't feel right playing anyone else, although they're fun in their own ways.
Maya is DEVASTATING at mobbing, like really, they never stand a chance if you have tactitc. To me so far she is the easiest class to learn cuz her skills are so harmonized, and phaselock with the dmg/healing/bulletproof (
These videos and your channel are great, one thing for constructive criticism; personally, when you blur the background footage when putting text on the screen it kind of hurts my eyes.. not sure why but personally I'd prefer a static background or just having the text over the footage, it should be easy enough to see. Other than that, amazing work! This is by far my fav BL2 channel, and as a newcomer to BL2 your videos are super informative and easy to understand from a beginner's perspective!
I love Maya! Love you too Puma!
Hell yeah Cloud Kill is OP. I took it off her in order to rebalance for Wreck (I'm only level 19 with her, so I really don't have enough perk points ATM), and the difference it made was immediately obvious when I didn't have it. If you play Maya, you NEED Cloud Kill, simple as.
An elemental goddess. I ripped through TVHM solo
i dont agree about the thought lock thing. ive found it to be very useful in different situations. i use that with suspension and convergence and helios and subsequence. so what happens is i convert one dude, usually converting a weaker enemy is most ideal. the point isnt to get your new subordinate to kill the enemies but for you to chain your sick combo over and over with an overall longer period of time. phaselock one, nearby enemies are sucked in and burned by helios, and if youre far enough the other enemies will instantly focus on your converted one. next start shooting and killing the SAME one you converted, the faster the better, because then phaselock will convert the next one and again doing the convergence and helios DoT all over again. combine that with chain reaction and cloud kill and it becomes really great and easy to clear groups of enemies.
Maya is my favorite character in bl2 I played as her like a 1000 times and I never get bored/tired but tbh I'm not sure who is the best character in bl2 tbh can someone help me with that
The Borderlands 2 community generally considers Salvador to be the best character by a very large margin, with some people going so far as to say he's the game's unofficial easy mode.
Maya is a BEAST!!!! Her & axton my fav! You can play KILLER or HEALER maya with right gear. Maya with the bee, cat mod. Sandhawk.florentine.cloudkill!.rez. Ruln. she is simply a BEAST if you know how to gear and use her right!!!
beeing a fast and healing maya player in co-op a fucking god send
with the infinity gun and some good timing some raid bosses died easy.
but the OP lvl farming was hell the first 3 unlocks, then i got a sniper and boom even when i died i could do some healing and in less then 2 hours op 8 was unlocked.
god the game was good
Hell yeah she's fun to play as,her abilities are awesome and seeing I love using smg's she's definitely one of my favorite characters,my true favorite is still my gunzerker then siren then necromancer,if you know how to have the best build as well as weapons and items these 3 are OP asf
I am honestly scared to try UVHM solo with Axton (i think I managed to stay close to level 50 but with much difficulty, thankfully I have loads of keys), and I didnt do the holiday dlc's with him. I wanna do those but with a new character. I am deciding thanks to you Puma between Maya and Zer0. Maya seems fun with phaselock solo, but perhaps Zer0 MIGHT make my aim better in a certain MMO shooter that will go unnamed. Either way, I enjoy your videos.
I would recommend Maya personally. You still need good aim in order to get crits, since Mind's Eye boosts crit damage.
thought lock carried me through digistruct peak solo
Still watching in 2020.
I really like Maya, but I think one point you missed out on is her ability to deal multi-elemental damage with sufficient investment in Cataclysm. Minus a couple of skills which I forget off the top of my head (I think one may be Flicker) I'm almost fully invested in the tree. Ruin will electrocute, slag and corrode all at once, and combined with some kind of fire weapon, you can deal every single type of elemental damage in the game, which also leads to insane amounts of DPS. This also means she can be very versatile when dealing with enemies with armour or high shields. In Borderlands 1, I always favoured Roland, but in 2 Maya wins out for me
Borderlands 1 Lilith
Borderlands 2 Maya
Borderlands TPS Athena and are equal
Those are my fav vault hunter I own every DLC of the tree games
Same
Chain Reaction is much more useful for damage than Bore, not requiring lining up mobs. You can also one shot some of the same few bosses Bore can. The most useful thing about Bore is how your bullets can no longer be reflected.
I guess you completely missed the point of Thoughtlock. Charming an enemy does far more than merely converting an enemy into an ally. Typically every enemy near your thoughtlocked mob suddenly ignore you and your coop party entirely, since they now fully agro the one you charmed. This is the ultimate crowd control, and this is far more valuable for Beehawking than an SMG passive buff, considering your flimsy Bee is never being broken.
To see how laughably powerful Thoughtlock can be, find the youtube video of 4 Maya's doing OP8 Digistruct Peak where 3 of them have specced into thoughtlock. A solo Thoughtlock Maya lays waste to entire zones using Sub-Sequence\Thoughtlock.
Could you maybe do this type of video for the Pre-Sequel Vault Hunters pls?
Maya is arguably the best for normal and true vault hunter mode merely because of cloud kill
stupidest thing i've read so far
DD107: Uh no. Not stupid at all!! Spec into Cloud kill and kinetic reflection and you can kill enemies without firing a shot(once you proc he kill skill). Cloud kill is OP on reg and tvhm like the comment says. One shot kills most enemies. Notice he said " arguably? " I agree with him about CC
my bad i should have explain, she is not arguably the best, she IS the best and not because of cloud kill but because of skills like life tap, kinetic reflexion, chain reaction, ruin, inertia, cloud kill being just a nice bonus, and lastely he say she is the best for normal and tvhm as if she is weak on uvhm and op level (totaly ignoring the fact that unlike most of the other vault hunter she doesnt need weapon to slag making playing her way easier for all the slag allergic out there)
I finished tvhm without any healing skills or shield boost. Just offensive weapons. I rarely went into ffyl. The main thing that made it really easy was cloud kill(along with others) I play on 360 so this is before cloud kill was nerfed. Cloud kill is useless on uvhm. I heard is much better now on uvhm after the patch but I wouldn't know. If I could only have one skill on vhm and tvhm it would be cloud kill.
She's a great character. She's my second favourite character in the game.
Wts u first
@@mysteriousboy7913 sal probably
I dont necessarily agree with some of what your saying about her phaselock. She can phase Locke any enemy and bosses in the game with elemental effect damage from her cloud kill skill. She just can't lift some enemies. Bee hawking with legendary cat class mod is her bread And butter. And stop comparing everyone to salvador he's a glitched op character that shouldn't be able grog dpuh. Its not even a fun class to play. And even at that probably the hardest to level. The 2 best classes in the game to play is Axton and Maya in coop those two have the best synergy together
Maya is the first character i passed level 50 with thw only flaw i see with maya is her health its way to low im at level 65 and only 300000 health comparing that to salvador or craig its way low
*Krieg.
Huh
Used maya first and working with zero nowthen om gonja do salvador then gaige kraig then finaly axton
Craig is a good character right guys
1 1 I love playing Craig
Everyone should know this
‘Is she any good’ best character in the game for literally everything except maybe raid boss farming, that title goes to Sal no questions asked.
I think the game needs more "cc" abilities, like Maya's phaselock
This is a valid complaint that plagues bl2 and the pre sequal.The lack of dazing or stunning really hurts the balance.
I was using that exact combination of cloud kill and Maggie and just tearing through enemies
Maya is my favorite siren
Whao you can heal enemies? Thats crazy
It would be cool if she can phaselock enemies around her ;_;
I use cataclysm/healer build.
she's fun to play and 1 of the most newbie friendly in the game
Why would you thought-lock ? Just go full dps using all the red and all the green skills except thought-lock. Maya becomes an unstopable elemental force. Also imo, plague fox or hell witch is a way better mod as it increase both the initial damage and lingering dot of fire or corrosive damage.
6:43 Is anyone going to mention the Salvador on the top left-hand corner?
Good one puma my main
i know this is off topic but can anyone help??? i'm at lvl55. i have both the dlc uvhm pack#1 & #2 BUT my gun drops only show lvl50 never any higher......why??? i can join other players online and pick up their gun which vary....say lvl52 pistol and maybe a lvl54 smg.....these gun will stay at the correct lvl when i play alone..BUT BUT in my solo game AAALLLLL my gun drops are ALWAYS at lvl 50.....never higher.....WHY??? its very frustrating....re downloaded both packs several time....nothing!!!
thanks for any help.........btw i play at tvhm because uvhm is to hard with the lvl 50 guns.
ZEROmg tvhm level caps at 50. So you'll never get a gun over level 50 in tvhm. You'll have to go uvhm for that. If you're below level 58 though, you can just bee+Harold+any slag source through uvhm, even with all of those at level 50.
Have the same problem, can't play DLC offline on 360
All her "while phase lock" skills should be changed to "after using phase lock" skills that run on time duration instead.
i disagree immensely
i didn't have fun playing maya my first time playing bl2. but i saw siren and was expecting some op lilith crud, so her playstyle wasn't what i was expecting so maybe i was just playing her wrong? idk.
Dude think about it. Enemies that cannot be phaselocked can be thoughtlocked and then you dont need to worry about not phaselocking them
