what's the best weapons/gear setup for the Siren???

[Mister Torgue Flexington]

I ask this question, is because i'm thinking about using Lilith as my first playthrough, once i'm finished with Roland on Playthrough 2 & 2.5, and i'm just curious as to what Class Mods and weapons work best with her (since the Tediore Panacea Shields are great for everyone).

a hellfire is your best friend, anything that boosts phonenix skill after you get there, either catalyst or firefly and a mercenary mod late game that regens smg ammo, a defiler for devastators and a double anarchy for bosses and fire resistant enemies, any elemental fire weapon is good like volcano sniper or firehawk repeater

[UBE Chief]

Definitely agree with the Defiler and Hellfire as your two main weapons of choice, with maybe the S&S Orion as your sniper rifle. Not too sure about class mods, though.

[Mister Torgue Flexington]

well the Pestilent Defiler I have for my character Roland, and that thing is insanely overpowered (but in a good way) to most pistols i've seen. haven't come across the Hellfire yet, but i'll keep a sharp eye out for it.

my best guess is that the shops and loot drops from dead bandits/bosses tend to not only be random drops, but resets each time you save a game, quit, and restart from your last savepoint (this was the tactic I used to finally come across those Tediore Panacea Shields)

UPDATE: I managed to somehow get my hands on the legendary Combustion Hellfire SMG (while playing as Roland), albeit a Level-25 version, after shooting a Crimson Lance soldier with my Defiler Revolver while re-visiting the Salt Flats area.

can't wait to get my hands on a higher-level version of the Hellfire that has even more damage and faster firing rate whenever I get around to Playthrough 2 and 2.5

if you want legendaries and good class mods and shields do claptrap revolution dlc (tartarus), not only are there heaps of loot while doing it, after you beat minac you can farm the hyperion gift shop whenever you want

well i'm planning on playing through the DLC's anyway, once i'm done with some of the challenges that I have left (which is also the reason why i'm saving the final main mission in the base game for last). so i'm slowly taking my time with this game

Best weapon and gear setup for a Siren? Mercenary class mod with SMG ammo regen and the best Double Anarchy and Hellfire SMGs you can find. For level 69:

Controller (20) - Diva, Inner Glow, Girl Power*, Mind Games
Assassin (19) - Slayer, Enforcer, High Velocity*, Blackout (4)
Elemental (25) - Quicksilver*, Spark, Resilience, Intuition, Phoenix

(* are the Mercenary mod skills)

EDIT: Really, this is about the only character you'll want to activate Playthrough 2.5 (ie, **entering** the Vault on Pt2) as soon as you can so that everything'll scale to your level and above and give you at least a little challenge. Except for Crawmerax. No idea how it'd do against him, though at the very least you'll need SMGs of other elements to go with the DA & HF.

Another great Class mod/weapon combo for the Siren:
Phantom Class mod (+100% Crit dmg on sniper shots) and the skullmasher Sniper with 200%-250% Crit dmg on each of its 4 shots.
Takes down Crawmerax in 1-2 minutes (each crit area takes 1 shot)
