Summary

I've played many other games, am an avid retro gamer (NES-SNES era, although I did play a few games in the Atari period). Other then the occasional new title (especially the Guitar Hero games) I play the MMO Final Fantasy XI for a few hours a week.

I've been playing Borderlands for a few weeks now; love this game! If anyone has any suggestions at all, be it character builds, wiki editing, anything, feel free to post a note on my talk page. Having finished the game twice on my Soldier, I am now working on my Siren, and am about 1/3rd of the way through...

Characters

Roland

Level 61 Support Gunner

I rarely use the turret, so I went with a more support build for this, focusing on survivability.

View on Official Skill Tree Calculator Starting Skill Scorpio Turret Gain the ability to deploy a Scorpio Turret that automatically fires at enemies. Also has a shield that can be used as cover. Turret has a few seconds before it disappears. [20 seconds.] Cooldown: 100 seconds.					Roland Purge

40 SUPPORT GUNNER CLASS MOD — I'm all about the Ammo Regen

43 PNG-50XC IMPENETRABLE ENDURING SHIELD — I have a healing shield I use between fights, buying health packs is for the birds...

46 EXPLOSIVE RAIN — Meh...I have some Mirvs, too, but I don't really depend on nades much

Mordecai

Level 18 Hunter

My goal is to focus strictly on DPS, with some obvious health mods. As with my soldier, I rarely use my special ability, so I doubt I will be putting any points into Bloodwing improvements unless someone gives me a compelling reason I should do so.

View on Official Skill Tree Calculator Starting Skill Bloodwing Gain the ability to summon a pet Bloodwing out to attack an enemy and then return. Cooldown: 28 seconds					Mordecai Purge

Brick

Level 11 Berserker

Although it's pretty early for me to say definitively what I'm going to do with this character, I know for sure that I am going to be focusing on tanking first and foremost. As I do not use Grenades or Rockets often, I don't think I'm going to be going with those skills...we'll just have to see, I guess. After maxing out Juggernaut, I intend to max out Pay Back and Unbreakable.

View on Official Skill Tree Calculator Starting Skill Berserk Gain the ability to go Berserk. While Berserk, use the Aim and Fire buttons to throw punches. Also, you gain resistance to all damage and you regenerate health while Berserking. Duration: 18 Seconds. Cooldown: 60 seconds.					Brick Purge

Lilith

Level 30 Mercenary

I'm a little torn with Lilith...I've seen some amazing vids of her just owning everything with elemental damage and doing some sick shit with SMG's.

View on Official Skill Tree Calculator Starting Skill Phasewalk Gain the ability to turn invisible and move incredibly fast. Upon entering/leaving Phasewalk, you create a Phase Blast that damages nearby enemies. You can Melee attack to end Phasewalk early. Cooldown: 36 seconds					Lilith Purge

Weapons

I like to hold on to the "special" guns with the flavor text, even if they're not so good. I am missing some, as I duo a lot, and we split the guns according to type. As I play through my other classes, I should get some of the other named weapons that I am missing...
