Borderlands 2

yaeh I'm clocking WAY too many hours on B2. I'm about half way through the 2nd playthrough with zer0 and I just respecced him for melee, which is a *****. I just can't get the hang of it.

I think i'm at L47 or so. Once I tag 50 I'm going to start hunting legendaries.

First time around I found a couple shields off the Warrior. But they were L35 so they're just in the stash now.

The arena DLC is busting my balls with zer0. I just can't seem to tank enough damage. I get lucky when there's a goliath or two to let loose. But failing that I get squished pretty easily.

Get the final skill in the Bloodshed Tree "Many Must Fall" and use it in tandom with "Execute" from the same tree.. Just keep hitting melee and zip around meleeing everyone you see while in deception with little to no consequences. It's remarkably crazy. Don't slack in "F0ll0wthr0ough" since the speed bonus between kills will help you get to the next target quickly.

Invest whatever points you have left over into "C0unter Strike" from the Cunning tree for some good power while people are busy shooting at you. From there try to get to "Death Mark" and "Unf0rseen"

And yes, if you can find the LAW pistol and Order sheild, which are both quest drops, use them with that spec and you'll tank around the battlefield like you have never imagined.

This would be my ideal Zer0 Melee build:
