What character should i choose and why people dont like Salvador the Gunzerker ?

[DomTheBomb]

My first character was Axton the Commando, i played as Axton to level 25 and then I stopped because I didn't like Axton's special skill I think personally that it's very boring and I think that Axton is very plane in personality in generall. Main reason why I don't like Axton's special skill is: When you place down a tureet you don't have to kill anyone because the turret will do it all for you. I wan't to play another character that inlcudes my skill in progressing in the game and not just sitting and waiting for turret to kill everything and everyone. I found out that the best characters suited for me would be Gunzerker and Psycho because they are both best characters suited for dps. Now i have cupple of questions: 1. Why people don't like to play as Salvador, 2. Will Salvador's height somehow reduce my capability to have clear view on the mobs that i have to kill because Salvador is much shorter than other vault hunter's, 3. If we compare Salavador's and Psycho's dps who would lead the dps chart's, 4. Why do people say that slavador is ''broken'' (i know he has some really strong stats but does it really mean he is ''broken''). Those are all of my questions that i can think of right now, some are funy i know but all of those questions concern me a little bit. Thank you.

1) Sal can make the game quite easy, once you have the right gear/skills.

2) No. As far as I know each character's height is purely for aesthetics.

3) I can't answer this because I don't own the psycho.

4) Possibly several reasons but one of the major ones is Money Shot chains. Money Shot gives the last shot in the magazine bonus damage, and Inconceivable has a chance of making shots not cost ammo. Pair these together and you can trigger Money Shot multiple times in succession.

The Psycho's DPS is very inconsistent. He needs to get a kill to activate Bloodlust bonuses. If he hits himself from Silence the Voices, he does no direct damage for a brief moment.

I love Salvador. Salvador is the most played character in the game. People saying something is OP is ridiculous. If the game was truly harder to play, everyone would be whinning that the game is to hard and would not play the game. And in UVHM there are only a hand full of guns that are capable of doing enough damage to get you through.

When you reach UVHM, the game gets harder, so Axtons turrets do not kill for you anymore. And the turrets are ony a distraction for the raid bosses.

There are videos on YouTube that can help you choose a character to play.
Just type in Bordeerlands 2 Axton VS Hyperious, or whatever. Watch the game play.

I have over 2,000 hours played and have all my characters at lvl 72. I love Salvador and dislike Krieg, but I am going to play them all to OP 8.

Have fun.

Money shot.

[No.]

I think that Salvador got that bad reputation because a lot of bad players who take the fun away use him. That said, the fact that most bad players use Salvador doesn't mean that class is inherently bad or worse than others. Аssholes can take away the fun with any class, just as nice players can use a Gunzerker, and boy, I do love having an ammo-regenerating Gunzerker around.

So yeah, Salvador is mostly hated because of association with bad players, but there's really nothing wrong with the little guy.

If you want a character focused on personal damage, I'd recommend Zero.

I always thought he was the 'wannabee assassin' class until I actually tried him out. You'd think a character like him is only good for sniping, but most of the skills that help his ability with sniper rifles also apply to shotguns and certain pistol types. Shotgun Ninja is hilarious to play. You're constantly in the action, attacking and reloading, vanishing and reappearing.

Maya was my first character, and she's excellent for a number of reasons. She has lower damage, sure, but her special is fantastic for both teamfights and solo. At lower levels, it just holds enemies, but at higher levels it can slag enemies or revive friends, both of which are incredibly useful and can help you duo difficult bosses.

Gaige is fun, but restrictive and perhaps of a lower skill ceiling. Her electric tree is only good when using electric weapons, and her Anarchy style shuts her out of using some weapons, like sniper rifles and to some extent rocket launchers. I wouldn't recommend her unless you just want to plow through content.

People don't like Salvador because he's too easy/boring, you can just gunzerk then hold down both triggers until everything is dead; with healing from grog/rubi rarely go down. Zero and Krieg are both fun and good for solo play imo. Salvador is just ez mode once you get a rubi/grog which can be fun if you like that sort of thing.

Sal is pretty much the boss killer of the game. With the right skill build, weapons and gear, he can practically solo any boss and kill them easily
Maya is focused around Team support. She is able to heal teammates, revive, and constantly do elemental DoT's and slag enemies with the right build, but she can also do tons of damage if set up right
Zer0 is more or less, a 1-on-1 person, he focuses on doing burst DPS on a single enemy if his melee build is used. His sniping tree is pretty good, but somewhat tricky to use
Axton is mainly Support.His turrets early on can kill very easily, but in later levels, they are nothing but a distraction to escape tougher enemies

These are just my opinions however

Sal is a lot of fun. You can level him up fast and run through guns blazing. He is a nice relaxed character. Once leveled he can help farm gear for your later characters because of his ability to kill bosses easily. His super speed that you can get and the rocket jumping is also quite fun.
I would highly recommend zero as a character to play once you have gotten to or played through some UVHM. Zero is stupidly fun, but stupidly frustrating if you don't have all your mechanics down pat.

Noooooooooooo....Krieg is so much more FUN. There is nothing more fun then going B.A.R into a group of bandits and chopping their faces off.
