I personally prefer the Peppy Zapper but I'm sure theWired or Scorching Zapper are just as viable. Between both items you have the chance to increase your shock damage by over 50%(without skill tree buffs!).
In General, you want a Zapper class mod with the Elemental relic to boost your overall shock damage. Here is a skill tree link for Gaige that you can tinker with: I personally have avoided Anarchy, but some of the best Shockromancer builds i've seen have involved the Ordered Chaos Tree. Other than those, if you want deathtrap, get the skills offered in both the Little Big Trouble and Best Friends forever skill trees. Myelin: Electrical Resistance plus shield capacity increase Wire's Don't Talk: Increases Shock and Electrocute DamageĬlose Enough: Good skill, bullets ricochet. Shock and "AAAGGGGHHH!!!": Electric Nova reloads are useful for when you're mobbed.Įvil Enchantress: Increases your overall DoT when you get a kill. Also works with DTĮlectrical Burn: Electrocution + Fire are good for DoT. Shock Storm: Kill with a Critical, Electrical Explosion that does good damage. More Pep: More chance to Electrocute for Shock DoT Here is the list of skills you should MAX and WHY YOU SHOULD MAX:
Don't worry, it's not hard and actually doesn't require alot of skill points. You can't expect to deal a good amount of damage with shock weapons if you don't properly buff your skills. The last and final problem is that this build relys heavily on skills to properly buff your weapons. Luckily there is a workaround which i'll mention more in gear choices section. Second, this build sucks against loaders and or any other type of armored enemy. Finding the right relics, and class mods is crucial to achieving your ultimate damage potential. This build suffers from some problems however. Fortunately, alot of the enemies early in the game are flesh based. The Electrical burn skill allows you to tac on fire damage in addition to the electrocute damage over time. The Shockromancer build for Gaige has a distinct advantage over flesh enemies with and without shields(bullymongs, stalkers, psychos, nomads, even midget shield enemies like Mad Maw). Skill Point Allocationbuild since the options you have once you get to level 31 are highly customizable. This won't be a complete level 50 or level 61Ģ.
