I made a thread a few weeks ago asking which class you thought you'd prefer, so now that we've had a week to enjoy the game, which class have you liked the best thus far? I've actually ended up liking the Berserker the best because I've found it greatly useful to max out his shields and HP, and then not have to carry health packs because I can just go berserk every time my health gets low. Here's the build I'm hoping to achieve by the time I get to level 50 with him. What do you think?

All I've used was the Hunter and I like him a lot, especially Blood Wing.

Definitely Mordecai. The bloodwing wrecks shop, and I just love popping heads.

I have only tried the Soldier and the Berserker. The Soldier was a fun class to use but he felt very boring towards the 25th level. A been there done that character which surprised me a lot because I was very excited to be able to use a turret. The Berserker on the other hand is just simply fantastic. I'm level 34 on my second playthrough. I can't get enough of running around beating the **** out of enemies. Hitting enemies with explosive fists looks awesome but it can actually be somewhat difficult to see when using shock or corrosive.

They're all good classes that are fun to play; however, my favorite has to be the siren. Finally got her to 50 and the amount of damage she does is insane.:)

I made a thread a few weeks ago asking which class you thought you'd prefer, so now that we've had a week to enjoy the game, which class have you liked the best thus far? I've actually ended up liking the Berserker the best because I've found it greatly useful to max out his shields and HP, and then not have to carry health packs because I can just go berserk every time my health gets low. Here's the build I'm hoping to achieve by the time I get to level 50 with him. What do you think?

i love the beserker so far, but i dont really like your build :P your build relies too much on you getting hurt. The extra damage you get from depleted shields is less than the damage for using heavy handed, diehard is handy but not a good skill. You want to increase your life, not drag out your death. Unbreakable and the rest are good, but i went for pure melee and instead of putting points in endowed, put it in juggernaut

At level 30 my beserker has over 800 health, and 700 shields. The most melee damage i have seen him do is over 3000. I get to use beserk every 30 seconds, and get a melee bonus and damage resistance every time i kill. This is my pure melee build

The reason you use your melee every 30 seconds is because you lag... Move to the USA.

Siren, I can't get enough of her. I have a level 30 Siren and a level 25 Hunter, she's the better of the two. If you upgrade her Assassin Tree she's unstoppable. I just started upgrading her Elemental tree and it seems as if all I get is Elemental damage from my guns. Here's my build.

I've been playing the Siren. Having my melee attacks do corrosive damage (and lots of it) helps a lot.

The Siren caught me by surprise. I love the speed, the power, and the healing factor. That's my only character that reached lvl 50. Also the phoenix upgrade looks pretty cool in effect, I'm always getting compliments on my speed and power by friends. I love it :)

I chose Hunter and love using him. I'm definitely going to try Siren next, she looks crazy.

Well I definitely think I'll be using the Siren for my second playthrough. I wasn't too sure about her since most of her abilities looked pretty lame just from reading about them on the skill tree, but if you guys think she's really powerful I'll give it a go. Do you think it would be best to concentrate on the assassin skills?
