This, Siren is overpowered, making the game easy, fun tho, id suggest Soldier, for the more balanced gameplay experience.Onyx Oblivion said:
Siren is indeed overpowered. Mercenary mod for +56% SMG damage and a Double Anarchy with 150x4 damage = weeeeeeeeeeee numbers! Plus she can Phase Walk to point blank range, Daze all of the enemies when she pops out of Phase Walk with 'Dramatic Entrance', Ignite all of the enemies for a lot of damage over time with Incendiary artifact, and then unload with the SMG for monstrous ridiculous damage. Keep in mind Daze effects are very overpowered. Enemies that are Dazed might as well be dead, they can't really move or shoot back.
Phasewalk and Bloodwing need to be specced for to really shine, especially Bloodwing. Phasewalk is a great move not for the damage, but for the invisibility, the self-heal (when specced) and extra mobilty. The fact that it can also be turned into a damage powerhouse is secondary.
As for Bloodwing, from what I've heard it can deal up to 9k damage on multiple targets at max level if specced for. That sounds pretty awesome to me. Even mid-level players have stated that the bird can solo smaller encampments, it's just a matter of getting the skill that allows him to attack multiple targets.
Berserk has a fairly nasty downside (if you focus on it) since it doesn't level your weapon proficiencies. I've heard Brick players complain about being 5 or more points behind the other characters.
And finally, the Turret is great and all, but it has a big freaking cooldown. On the other hand, it's fairly common for a Siren to do two or more Phasewalks in the same fight...

Bloodwing is by no means weak. Buff him up a bit and he'll come out around every 10-15 seconds (depending on class mod), attack 6-9 enemies at a time (again depending on your class mod) and is pefectly capable of hitting 6k damage. Oh, and he'll refill all your health when he comes back. And he'll cut enemies in half, literally.Ragnell said:
Siren.
Sirens are probably the best solo class, and the second best team class. They have a lot of abilities that make themselves stronger, and then they have a few skills and mods that make the entire team better, though not quite as many as the Solider does. The Siren's Phasewalk ability is arguably the most powerful and useful of all four of the classes too. And in duals against other players, there is basically no way to beat a leveled Siren, unless you're a Tank with an obscene amount of health.
Also, its pretty funny to play as her.

Lilith (the siren) can turn invisible, fast, and can do quite a bit of damage once you leave "Phasewalking". You can upgrade it to regenerate health when in phasewalking, and I think it has the shortest cooldown timer (but I'm not sure).
The siren is good for people who like sneaking around to get close.

Really? I found that when Bloodwing was better upgraded, he could be a very devastating companion.Ragnell said:
You are now required to yell "Falcon Punch!" at the top of your lungs everytime you use Bloodwing now.Raziel_Likes_Souls said:It's super effective against low level Psycho Midgets!miracleofsound said:
So yeah, I like the Hunter despite the fact he throws a falcon at people.
Not this one:
I ended up playing Lilith after very long trial and error session with every character. At first i wanted to stick with Brick but after learning the intricacies of phasewalking and i gathered up some decent gear, Lilith was the obvious choice.
My friends say you can do a lot with a Siren, haven't tried it though.
I tried the Hunter. He was ok. I found most of his skills useless though and the only major benifit being Bloodwing, and using him just bored me.
I love the Soldier though. I have a great set up on mine. Turret takes a while to recharge, but it's not as long as it used to be for me. Ammo regen is also a favourite of mine. You can just unleash on anything you encounter.

Once you get a really good SMG lilith becomes unstoppable and extremely fun. Until that point it can be a little frustrating. However once I got a really good SMG I did not die in the last 8 hours of the first playthrough. The damage output, reload speed, and other goodies that come with lilith using a SMG is just ridiculous. I played Roland to 30 as well and I just dont get the fun factor playing him that I do with Lilith.
