Hi guys, my first char was Brick till, he got corrupted by a previous glitch... I always loved Brick even if now i got Lilith (better body than Brick, you know...). Anyway, now i started a little Brick again, and I always thought that the Blaster skill tree was pretty useless and the explosive damage is almost all the time considered crap... but not anymore! Take a look at this build, is basically the SUPER PUNCH OUT build plus the bonuses of the blaster skill relatives to the EXPLOSIVE damage. http://www.borderlandsthegame.com/skilltree/brick/#31552505055250505250000 If you do the Underdome you'll get 2 more skill points to add in Rapid Reload. Now equip this little guy with: Impenetrable Macho shield (i got one 2k+ capacity 200ish recharge speed and 60% hp boost) Max Combat Rifle, Launcher and SMG proficiencies (and Shotguns if you want but those 3 are more than enough seeing that you are going to Berserk almost all the time) And give him an Ogre, Blast SMG and a Nidhogg. I think you'll get a little beast right there. Ok, nobody is weak against explosive, but nobody is resistant either, but you'll get pretty good bonuses thanks to Endowed and Revenge, and Rapid Reload helps a lot. With a Skirmisher mod (with 4 in Short Fuse) you'll get (and everybody knows it) only 6secs skill recharge. and you can still keep doing great damage during these 6 secs. I was thinking to melt this build with the new Common Man mod seeing that you'll get the Short Fuse bonus as well, but you have to use Tediore weapons and shield... so you'll lose great bonuses in Health Boost and you don't have "great" Tediore weapons... My thoughts about this build: I prefere to use fast weapons, that's why i would like to max Combat Rifle and SMG proficiencies, you can max Shotgun as well, it could be a good choice since we are talking here about raw damage. With the Impenetrable Macho shield, you should have 3k+ shield and 3k+ health enough said =P, you can use a Panacea if you want, but i don't think it stuck with the berserker skill... I prefere also get skills that boost up your damage after the 1st kill, because sometimes you get sniped and your shield get depleted lot time before you can get in close combat nullifying bonuses like PayBack or Unbreakable. I didn't choose Liquidate neither even tho it suits this build perfectly, because you already have 6 secs recharge skill, come on if you can't keep Brick alive with 6k+ HitPoints for only SIX SECS you're doing it wrong =P These are my thoughts, what do you think guys? And if anyone has better ideas on this build or any comments please share =)
