is Maya's "Mind's Eye" skill worth it?

[Mister Torgue Flexington]

had thought about doing another Siren run in the near-future, where one of the healing perks I might give her might be "Sustenance", for the constant regenerating health.

but is the extra Critical Damage and Melee damage from "Mind's Eye" even worth speccing into?

extra dmg is alwayes nice thing since only reaper mind eye and wreck give her major dmg boost... not counting accelerate cz that skill mess bullet spread of many wepons

[Mister Torgue Flexington]

ah, thought so. looks like i'll be planning for that 2nd run later in the year then

Accelerate changes bullet spread - on the Lyuda the spread happens later and can be beneficial on certain enemies. It certainly doesn't break it as some people complain.

Mind's Eye - critical hit boost - very good to have unless you are hopeless at getting crits. Melee damage - meh, but the bounus from crits is good to have. When Maya is specced into all the gun damage buffs she can cause some crazy damage numbers. Second best sniper in the game after Zer0.

The crit damage is nice but you'll probably never use melee with maya at all

The extra crit damage is always nice, but in reality you only spec into minds'eye because the alternative is worse.

With all 5 points in Mind's Eye the extra 25% bump to crits is extremely worth it - you'll be glad you did. The bump to melee is extremely helpful for most Mayas who need all the personal strength boosts they can get.

Just did a quick test in Marcus's firing range between Minds Eye and Accelerate. I rarely use Minds Eye cuz I don't melee, but wanted to see. Level 11 Chinook (sniper) base damage 212. Alternated 5 points in each , no other skilll points spent, BAR off. Then did both at 5 points for fun.
Minds Eye no Accelerate
Body shot 212
Crit 1288
Accelerate no Minds Eye
Body shot 243
Crit 1360
Both
Body 243
Crit 1482
So it would appear that Accelerate is a better use of the points if you don't care about increasing bullet speed. I don't, so I'm always maxed in Accelerate and nothing in ME.
