Doesn't matter. All good. So whichever you prefer. Personally I think it's fun to go full Brawn and then punch everything in the face like Brick! Weapons are for wussies!

Yeah my other main Gunzerker is Gun Lust/ Rampage, but he's not nearly as much fun to play as my Mini-Brick! Plus he relies on loot so much more to be effective.

This is what I posted in the last Gunzerker suggestion discussion...

Max out Brawn (except the unneeded Just Got Real and Out of Bubblegum skills) and then take either Filled to the Brim or Inconceivable (doesn't really matter but I go with FttB) so you can max out Last Longer, I'm Ready Already, and grab Yippee Ki Yay. Now max out All in the Reflexes and take the ever fun Double Your Fun and you're good to go. You will still be levelling and gaining more points but it really doesn't matter what you take. I do like Get Some but if you want to take skills to take advantage of a certain Class Mod then go for it.

Now run around pretending you're Brick and punch 'em in the face. Game ownage, you rule.

Brawn has quite a few nice skills to take. Incite and Bus That Can't Stop Moving are great, Asbestos really improves survivability. Don't bother with any slow regen skills, they really suck throughout the game. Get Some is a very good panic button but i don't really think it's worth to reach that far.

Sal has the best skill selection among all the classes in game, all of his trees are very good but certain skills are gamechangers. Additionally when you put emphasis on one skill, he'll benefit more from certain skill combos more than he'd do otherwise.

For instance, if you're going with a shield that's either always (DLC3 Rough Rider) or almost always empty (vanilla's Love Thumper), you should cap Out Of Bubblegum, Inconceiveable from Rampage and Money Shot from Gun Lust, skip FttB because it will decrease the number of money shots you'll get. This is just an example, there's a lot more to it. Hard to tell which tree is the best one unless you can describe a gameplay style you'd like to play.

Money Shot with a shotgun can be rediculous. Get a shotgun with clip size 10..12 and 3..4 ammo consumed per shot. With slag, crits and the right elemental it does upto 150 times the weapon card damage.

Respecctng is cheaper than dieing, so try some different approaches.

A tree where slikks build their nests.

Hmmm... and here I thought it was a tree that slikk paper is made from. Learn something new everyday!

I personally went with Brawn for quite a while for survivability, but I recently Respecced, and I would say Gunlust and Rampage are the best trees. Because everything dies quicker, I actually seem to die less often. Getting to Money shot should be the first thing you do, so start out in Gun Lust, then work your way into rampage. I'd also reccomend I'm You're Huckleberry because gunzerker pistol builds are arguably the best.

I'm not really playing Sal that much, thus I won't argue pistol builds superiority.

I fail to see what's good about I'm Your Huckleberry however, pretty much the worst skill in Gunlust. Considering there's a at least one better option in each tier of rampage and brawn I can't understand wasting a single point in it.

So am I the only one that went straight for unlocking all of the kill skills, melee override, and gunzerking duration skills, instead of micro-managing or respec particular skill trees?

almost full brawn tree and some in the middle, works great, with the taunt move it keeps you on your feet longer and gives you 1 sec of invulnerability
