User:DangerLine14/Maya Build - Cataclysm

Maya: Cataclysm

This is a highly offensive build that I used on my first character. It makes a lot of use of her Cataclysm tree, with some points in the Motion and Harmony trees. I recommend using this in a Solo situation, however it could be used in co-op, but there would be some changes I would make, which I will show later.

Solo Build

Motion Tree

Ward: 5/5

Accelerate: 5/5

Suspension: 3/5

Accelerate is the main skill in this tree for the extra damage. Ward gives you a little more survivability and Suspension just gives you some extra crowd control.

Harmony Tree

Mind's Eye: 5/5

This particular skill gives you more Crit and Melee damage. The Melee damage is not really important, but the Crit damage is helpful.

Cataclysm Tree

Flicker: 5/5

Foresight: 5/5

Helios: 5/5

Cloud Kill: 1/1

Reaper: 5/5

Blight Phoenix: 5/5

Ruin: 1/1

This is the most important tree, and I recommend getting as deep as you can as fast as you can. The most important skills are definitely Reaper and Ruin. With the right class mod (+5 Reaper is the max I think) you get +80% damage when the enemy is above 50% health, which is incredible. Ruin will Slag, Electrocute, and Corrode enemies in that order. The best thing about this is you can slag an enemy every 13 seconds without having to switch weapons. Slag, in conjuction with Reaper allows you to do A LOT of damage.

This has worked incredibly well for me and I have had loads of fun using it.

If you are planning on playing co-op, I suggest using this build.

 Co-op Build 

Motion Tree

Accelerate: 5/5

Suspension: 2/5

I find that the sheild buff you get from Ward is not as important here because you will have friends to revive you.

Harmony Tree

Mind's Eye: 5/5

Sweet Release: 5/5

Res: 1/1

Sweet Release will provide you and your friends some more survivability by killing enemies in your phaselock, which will happen a lot with the damage you can do from the Cataclysm tree. Res is very important. You will be able to instantly revive your friends using your Phaselock, not only giving you a quick revive, but a ranged revive.

Cataclysm Tree

No changes here. Just use the same skills as above.
