Salvadore is the only one out of the five that I DON'T want to use actually. He is physically and playstyle-wise about as opposite from me as they could make him. I really appreciate that they have such variety though.
I want to do a gunpowder/survival hybrid of Axton as none of the 3 ultis tickle me, but the bubble shield and rockets do. Very tickley.
I want to go down the right side of sniper to Bore, and the left side of Bloodshed to the bottom for Zer0. Tempted to ONLY used melee and sniper rifles.
But I'm definitely starting as Maya because out of all the characters she has the most versatility, and I love elemental weapons.
I can't decide on the exact build, but I'm probably maxing Ward, Suspension, Convergence, Flicker, Backdraft, Helios, Reaper, Ruin, Immolate and Mind's Eye. Leftover goes into Sweet Release. Alternatively I could skip all Motion tree and build down Harmony to the auto regen and probably be unkillable with so many healing skills.
Cloud Kill might be worth a point, but if it just creates an obscuring fog around my MOVING target i don't see it helping me much. Sure the dot could be significant but I'll already BE using every element I can get my hands on and Ruin/Helios more than covers it.
