Yes I am well aware that ARs sucks in BL2, but I always enjoyed using ARs since the 1st game. So I won't allow subpar performance (hopefully Gb fixes this) and abandon a class of weapons I love.

As for your pointers.

1) Double turrets don't have much in way for kill skills unfortunately which is the core for this build.

The whole idea of the build is to centered around the Battlefront and kill skills to ramp up the DPS while the Turret slags and gather's attention.

Dual turret spec would have me giving up a kill skill, forced to choose between Sorched Earth / Longbow and the flexibilty of not requiring to carry Slagga (Which I can use for another char like my Gunzerker).

2) Low DPS. A decent purple AR Rifleman COM, will jack up the DPS sufficiently for ARs to fight equally with any TMP builds. This is not factoring in the Allegiance Relics. So the ARs can compete on a more "equal" terms.

3) My bad on Hammer buster, I meant to say 20k+ on hit.

Of course, anyone can follow the whole guide to the letter but use the Legendary Soldier COM and just use the Sheriff badge. Throw on any Vladof TMP and you got a rather efficient pistol slinging Soldier that drops anything faster than this AR build. While more durable to boot.

Which is again.... Subpar to the Kerblaster/Harold Gunpowder builds. But thats how all things goes I guess.
