Mordecai best all around class
I wasn't sure wether to be mordecai and roland at first because i don't know what type of guns i wanna use and i want to leave all options open. I want to be able to use shotguns and pistols for close range and also be able to take guys out at a distance with assult rifles and snipers. After playing around with the stat tree i'm definatly thinking mordecai is the best character for all rolls because his stat tree has so many bonuses that apply to all types of weapons. The ignore shield bonus even by itsef looks to be a decision maker. Won't almost all of the best enemies have shields? So if all of your weapons ignored shields that would make all of those enemies be twice as easy to take out plus it comes with a +5% bullet damage bonus. Then on top of that hes got a +30% critical damage in the first tier, +40% damage kill bonus there's so many enemies in this game that once your in a battle this bonus will probably be active the whole time), accuracy bonus with all weapons, and the bloodwing which you can upgrade to kill 6 enemies at once. He also has a melee upgrade that for 1 skill point you have a one out of three chance to kill an enemy in one hit.
here's my build

I don't see how any other class can compare, whether it be with shotguns, pistols, smgs, assult rifles, snipers, or whatever. Unless you want to fill a specific medic/ammo co-op support roll, punch everything instead of shooting or really like the idea of becoming invisible for a few seconds why pick any class besides Mordecai. This is just what i'm thinking, let me know what you all think and if i'm missing something!
yeah rolland is the perfect class for how your gonna play skwihd because of his healing capabilities. But for the best guy using any type of weapons i think mordicai will win out. and does anyone know how many enemies will have shield because if you get rid of enemy shield it seemes like a huge advantage
and yeah lackmacko i'm not sure what you mean because she looks to be the worst class to me but i don't know everything about her so i might be missing some stuff
im going roland for support and turret it kinda seems like mordecai is easy mode to be honest no disrespect i totally get why your playing with him but he reminds me of being a hunter in WoW lol
im not a big fan of this build even though it is close to mine
I think the "best" character really just depends on your playing style in FPS.
Whether Mordecai is the best char still remains to be seen, however, like fish8590 said, the Trespass skill (avoids enemy shields) does seem almost too good, possibly broken. You could spec your char so that after lvl 25 every bullet you fired for the rest of the game would always pass by shields, that seems crazy to me.
unless he makes a uber headshot he most likely will fail. Also people say his gunslinger tree helps i disagree.
Lilith is best because of 800% MELEE from phasewalk AWESOME
Lilith ftw but Mordecai as a best all around...i dont think so, you have to think that he will have much lower HP than Brick or Roland so you really cant play as a run and gun character as Mordecai thats more of a brick and roland role even lilith to a lesser degree cuz you can tun invisable and run away if need be.
well that would make sense if they made mordicai have low HP. The game developers would have to cripple him in some way or he would be the best character in all situations. If he is crippled by low hp then that will force player to used him as a the role he was designed for, stay back from the main fight and snipe. If thats the case i'll prob go with rolland. he looks cooler anyway, not a skinny lil twirp like mordicai ;)

ill be running as roland first because while i love being a sniper i also love being the medic and roland allows me to do. also mordecai is your all around guy but what if i dont care about shield bypass? then ill focus on bloodwing
