Brief Keef
Superstar
Zero is the only character i ever used i had to respec a couple of times to get him where i wanted.but if u really dont pay attention to the skill trees and play yo your specs you're really gonna have a tough time...if i didnt farm the snowman boss on UVHM to get purples/magentas to my level,i would of never beaten it....i got like 30 million now and the cassius boss from the lillith dlc dropped an unkept harold...now im gonna do all the other dlc's for the first time....unkept harold is so OP...i heard its the best gun in the game...but yea beating UMVH with zero either ppl gonna give u props or think you're crazy...but when i first played borderland i only picked him because he looked cool to me...cant wait for BL3 tho...trying to beat everything before it drops...doubt i will thoHad the same experience with BL1 & I would personally say 2 was way more fun. The beginning is slow as well but once you actually make to sanctuary it actually picks up.
Also avoid you should avoid the assassin/commando as they have he most boring skill trees for a first time playthrough imo.
