User:Darkunov/My Siren build

Minutes ago, I discovered the skill calculator on borderlands 2's website, and since I'm planning on making my first character a Siren, I spent easily half an hour reading all the skills and making the build I will hopefully like the most.

This build focuses on heavy usage of the Phaselock skill, as doing so will instantly attract all enemies nearby and cause an explosion. On top of that, killing a phaselocked enemy will cause life orbs to fly out of it, and will transfer to phase lock to another nearby enemy. To synergize with this I grabbed the cloud kill skill, which causes a gas cloud to appear everytime I shoot an enemy, as long as there isn't already a cloud in play (that I spawned).

On the way to Sub-Sequence, I grabbed Suspension, which makes the Phaselock last longer to give me a better chance of having it transfer to another enemy, as well as Inertia, which makes me reload my shield and weapons faster for a few seconds after each skill. On the way to Cloud kill I took Flicker, which upgrades the proc chance of elemental damage from my weapons.

Finally, with the left over point from all this, I put five points in chain reaction which gives each of my shots a chance to ricochet to other enemies, dealing full damage to anyone hit in this matter, as well as a single point in Immolate. Immolate makes every shot fired while downed inflict additionnal fire damage, as a p%age of your weapon's damage. I grabbed this because too often in Borderlands 1 I would run out of time to get a second wind with an enemy on the brink of death.
