Playing Maya, none of you will be able to tell me otherwise.

I've beaten the main game, but never touched any of the DLCs for this one.

I don't remember what Maya's skills were like, but I know Phaselock exists as the core of it.

which tree should I go down first?

Zer0 is a passable approximation of Lilith's "ohshit run away".

As soon as you can, murder Doc Mercy over and over (and over and over and over and over), until that goddamn Infinity finally pops out. That damn gun lasted me all the way to the end, despite being terribly underleveled.

3 actually had some seriously great DLC, it was just too late to bring back a lot of the people who ditched it out the gate.

Hopefully Wonderlands does something similar, because that game is a fucking mess right now, single worst DLC set in the entire goddamn series.

The whole DLC was like "Can we get Gilmour on vocals? No? Do the music that way anyway."

It's even More-era Floyd, which is an unusual choice.

Left tree, just far enough to get Converge, then the right tree all the way to the capstone Cataclysm. For general mobbing a Hellbinder COM works wonders. Against bosses you can swap to the Cat. Both COMs have Legendary variants later on. Make sure you spend a point in Acid Cloud, as it received a powerful buff in a patch years after the game's release that made it scale with UVHM in mind.

He's actually one of the harder characters to play solo if you plan to take him through all uvhm and stuff.

During a basic playthrough though I don't think any character is particularly difficult. His kunai are fun though.

Go down the elemental tree for the capstone skill that adds Slag to your Phaselock (I think the tree is called Cataclysm and the skill is Ruin). After that go down the one that has Converge as the middle skill, and continue down the tree but dont get the capstone skill (Mindlock) imo. Maya has a lot of useful skills across all her trees, but the capstone/mid game changers arent necessities besides Ruin and Converge (and the resurrection one of you play multi).

It can be a bit more interesting going for a melee build on him, but overall he's a bit low on the fun meter, IMO. Salvador does better with the pew pew while Krieg does better with the chop chop.

Man I love melee Zer0 and could not stand Krieg. The blood splatter and his endless dialogue just ruined it for me, plus I felt like I was doing shit damage because I eventually stopped taking that RNG skill where you keep hitting yourself.

Completed Melee Zer0 is fantastic. The only issues I have with him is that you need very specific gear to make him truly shine in UVHM, and Death Bl0ssom has self-damage (unless you get a mod to remove that lol).

Haha with these topics lately I'm considering replaying again my self, at least BL2, BL3, and Wonderlands. But I've got a lot to play, MH rise Sunbreak, Horizon Forbidden West NG+ mainly.

Yep exactly, but I also really enjoy Athena's Maelstrom build and I'll probably revisit that before going to BL2 as well.

If you're in the Southern Shelf it is understandable. The starting area of BL2 is super boring for new players or veterans on an 'N'th playthrough.

At least once you reach the mainland on a new character there are some fun loot opportunities. You can get COMs on the pipes that overlook where Claptrap's ship docks, including some wonky minimum level COMs with zero skill bonuses but maxed out(for their level) passives. For Maya you should be able to get 50%+ Cat Coms, which mesh well with the Lascoux for burst damage.

There is a Dook Hut hidden on the ridge behind Fishguts Camp; the camp is near where you repair the Catch-A-Ride Station. Head towards the cliff then turn to the right and follow the ramp. This hut is a higher level than the immediate area.

There is also the entire optional spot of the Dry Docks. Enemies there are level 12 or 13 IIRC, making them 'skull' enemies when you first arrive. It is nothing a Jakobs can't fix though. Here you can find RPGs and decently leveled loot for the early zones. There are several chests and a Dook Hut to raid.

For BL2 any Bandit or Torgue launcher with a Maliwan exhaust will serve well. Okay, in the case of Torgue you probably also want a Tediore scope or matching Torgue grip just to cut down on the otherwise horrendous reload times.

Take a peek at the pictures in this topic:
https://gamefaqs.gamespot.com/boards/638784-borderlands-2/66132390

Once you pick out the parts you can tell weapon performance at a glance. It's actually a handy system for spotting good loot without wasting time. But the caveat is that you have to invest time up front to learn the parts.

It also helps for UVHM. Maliwan snipers with the matching Maliwan barrel and/or grip are the kings of Slag for UVHM: high elemental proc of sniper class, high elemental bonus for Maliwan, their snipers explode for a second chance to slag, multiplicative bonuses come from having a matching barrel or grip.
