Hi guys! I would like to share my custom Siren build that I use for my own Siren.
I hope you enjoy!
As you can see, most of my skills are in to Harmony and Cataclysm. I opted out for the following for these reasons.
CATACLYSM
Flicker- I made up for my Elemental chance effect with my Badass rank.
Immolate- I left this out due to the fact that SOME enemies are resistant to fire dmg, and this skill add fire to ALL guns.
Chain Reaction- I left this out because I don't wish to agro everything around me.
Could Kill- This skill is Okay...but the range is very limited, thus why I opted out.
Blight Phoenix- I opted out for this because I don't wish to agro everything and some are resistant to fire and acid.
Ruin- I opted out for this also because I do not use Phaselock for "Kills".
HARMONY
Minds Eye- I mainly use SMG's and Shotguns, thus I use the Spray method and hardly look down the slights. Nor do I Melee enemies.
Wreck- Phaselock doesn't last long enough in some cases. Plus I have made up for Gun dmg and fire rate in Badass rank.
Elated- I opted out of this because I have class mods that regen health faster than this skill can.
Life Tap- Opted out mainly because at maxed out 6% is still very low, when I can regen health faster.
Scorn- Mainly because it is annoying. When you try to melee something and slag comes out.
MOTION
Accelerate- I have made up for Gun dmg in Badass rank , and not really worried about "how fast" my bullets reach it's target.
Suspension- Clearly doesn't last long enough for me, even at rank 5.
Kinetic Reflection- Yes the dmg looks lovely but, ONLY works with bullets.
Fleet- Would rather see that on the Cataclysm side.
Converge- Tho the Monty Python reference is cute, the dmg isn't that great, and small range.
Inertia- Yet again, I have made up for this in Badass rank.
Quicken - I am not sure if my game is just glitched but, this skill effects my cooldown rate none.
Sub-Sequence- Mainly I used this in combo with Thoughtlock to help spawn Vermy (Vermeawhatever), when Super Badass Varkid's would go underground, it would seek out a new target.
Thoughtlock- Doesn't last long and increases the cooldown rate.
I do not HATE these skills, but a lot I have made up for in my badass rank, plus does not work with the combo I was going for.
Now that I have that out of the way, Lets get down to Business!
I use the Following Class Mod.
Rebounding Warder
Shield Capacity +11178
+5 Recompense
+4 Wreck Skill
+4 Ward Skill
As you can see above what skills I have went into. So I will list what they do PLUS the bonus of my class mod.
+4= Shield Capacity: +45% Shield Recharge Delay: -72%
My shield keeps me alive depending on what I am doing I fluctuate between my 71K shield to my Inflammable The Bee as seen below with Backdraft.
I have no + due to my class mod, but if I need health quick or my team does I Phaselock and down a enemy fast for the heals. This also counts if a teammate kills the subject in Phaselock, can really help and downed teammate.
No + here as well, but increases my max health to help me stay alive, and also allows me to heal my teammates by shooting them with my gun. How is that not fun? Also allows me to heal a Commando's turret and a car.
+5= 100% chance to hurt my attacker.
Any dmg my attacker does to me they get it back.
I can instantly revive a downed teammate from great distances. UNLESS, they are not blocked or behind a wall. I have Res'd a friend of mine clear across the map "The Highlands: Overlook" twice. With practice you can master your ResLock. NOTE: To get a lock on your fallen teammate ALWAYS make sure their name shows up white in your crosshairs and not red before trying to res.
Tho the regen is low it does help a lot. And depending on the matter I can swap to a Nurse mod to regen faster.
Who wouldn't op for MORE BULLETS FOR EVERY GUN? Plus the reload speed is very useful.
When I have to Phaselock a target this skill helps weaken it and near by enemies as well, but I barely use my Phaselock as a "KILL" skill.
Even tho a Nova shield can do the same thing when linked with the Inflammable The Bee or Just the be it becomes awesome.
Shread thought enemies with extremely high health like a hot knife through butter. Very useful skill, arm yourself with a acid weapon for those armored enemies and watch them scream and die before they can even touch you. =)
Last and NOT Least, My Badass Rank.
7752
Bonus Stats
Max Health +7.6%
Shield Capacity +7.6%
Shield Recharge Delay -8.0%
Shield Recharge Rate +6.8%
Gun AC +7.6%
Gun Dmg +7.2%
Recoil Reduction +7.2%
Reload Speed +7.2%
Elemental Chance +7.2%
Elemental Dmg +7.2%
I hope you have enjoyed my guide to my custom built siren. And hope maybe you will try it out and see how you fare with this build.
See ya in the Borderlands!!!
