Borderlands: What class should I (or you) play as?

We both know you want to play the Siren.

Seriously, sounds a lot more fun than the Soldier, and the Siren sounds a lot more diverse and you could make multiple builds off of one class.

I'd go with siren if I were you, bro.

Go with the siren.

I myself will be playing as a Siren, probably going down the assassination tree.

I'm a bit worried about the elemental tree for the Siren because some of the abilities only comes to play after killing an enemy (Intuition and Phoenix). Those two abilities would be useless (Or others if you are playing with a group of 4) IF you are fighting a one-target boss. But other then that, there's some nice AoE damage going around if there are multiple enemies.

It's a hard choice. I think I might play through the game with each of the 4 classes. I'm thinking the same as you Brad; I'll probably play as the Siren first. The whole turning invisible and going extremely fast, then busting out in a blast that stuns enemies. is kick ass. Then either the Solider or Berserker in between, then Hunter last. I can't wait for this game..

I used to be dead set on the Hunter until I read those skills on the skill tree site a couple days ago, and now I honestly don't know. All the classes seem fun to play in their own way, so I'd probably go Siren or Hunter first, then the other two afterwards.

Also, Brad it's a sole decision on whether you want to be a supporting/healer Soldier, or running around dazing and shooting elemental bullets as a Siren.

I don't think elemental bullets are just siren, i think it's based on the guns.

I think I'm gonna go with hunter, but siren looks the most fun.

i think i will play as the berserker or the siren.

go with the siren, she is hot and stelthy :O

Clearly, its called the Mogue, not a Rage (im just jokin') But yeah, I think you should deffinetly go with the Siren, seems to fit your style a bit better.

Oh gosh this feels like RO all over again. So many skills and so many unsure decisions of what to put into..

I'm gonna be playing a Sniper/Hunter/Mordecai/Whateverthehellhasthesniper. So far it's just me and SlyT working together.

I dunno, Phasewalking into a mob, dazing them hard and then letting your teammates mop up the remains sounds neat, but only if you're into letting others do the hard-hitting for you.

The Elemental tree seems way more fun and hands-on than the Controller.

I am excited, I think you would make a better solder in being able to lay down alot of hurt at once, I think Siren would end up being too little of what you want her to be.

Me I am prolly gonna play as Mordacai the Hunter class but Im not gonna bother with the bloodwing

I would go for a Hunter or a Soldier. I want to take advantage of the "87 Bazillion" weapons in the game.

At first, I wanted to be the hunter, but after playing some TF2 and goofing around as a heavy today ( trying to kill enemies with just punching), a Tank/Brawler Beserker would suit me best as it would be hilarious and good for the group,

Also, Rogue + Mage = Nightblade

Playing as a Control/Assassination Siren would be cool too since it is great offensive support.

Soldier to siren for me. I'll probably make my final decision when I can get a little pre-final-character-build playtime in and see who feels better to me.

I'm wondering: I can make multiple characters for this game and pull them out when need be? Can I spec out a support solider and an assassin siren and use them when I need them?

You'd probably enjoy the Siren more, seeing as she's more diverse than the soldier in terms of gameplay.

As for me, I'm still going as a hunter, especially now that I've read that.

I'll need to look more deeply into this game. As for all those RPGs I'll stick around to watch them!

I would play as the medic, sniper, or the gunslinger
The siren class also looks pretty interesting.

I never play any of these types of games, so any of these details won't make much of a difference to me. I'm going to get the game regardless though. 360 or ps3 though?

I used to plan on being a hunter, but now I'm leaning towards the support soldier because it seems the most interesting to me with that turret. It also seems that the soldier seems like a more balanced class than any of the others, which is why I'm picking it.

I'm the same way with RPGs. Took me quite a few tries in Demon's Souls to get everything right. And I've had hundreds of courses that I've aggravated my OCD on in Oblivion, and I ended up scrapping 99% of them.

When I first saw the skill trees for each class, I was pretty worried. They all looked so good, as I like stealth, brute force, and sniping.

In the end, I've decided that I'm probably gonna go with Mordecai, but as someone said above, I'm probably not gonna use the bloodwing. Maybe I'll put the point into the bloodwing skill, but no buffs for it. I really like the Sniper and Gunslinger skill trees, so I'll probably focus on those. I really like the buffs due to killing an enemy and speed in reloading and firing rate.

I am having trouble deciding if i want to make a brawler to take all the damage or a medic to heal everyone. Which one do you guys think will be more used in a group? because it seams as though the brawler is only needed in a boss fight where as your group is constantly taking damage

doesnt sound like you want to be Mordecai but, he has the ability to ignore shields when u completely finish off the left column (idk the name) and at the end all the enimes are pure shields so almost any weapon will kill them one shot.
also the soldier takes to long to respond another sentry thing, but it is very useful for bosses.

I went with the soldier and the ammo/grenade regen is very useful, and the turret does a good bit if damage and a shield to hide behind, so the general all around best I guess
