    I'll probably be going Brick or Roland for the 360 since it seems everyone is interested in the other two.

    I will be playing Brick on 360 if I ever get this preorder stuff figured out.

    I'll play melee Brick until I see how awesome the guns really are and can stand it no longer. After which, I'll likely bust out mad rocket pwnage.

    Okay, I'll send some steam friend invites and we can figure out logistics for a 4-pack. I don't know your steam handle, Foolish Chaos, so please send a friend invite to me. Steam community page is here.

    As I said, I'm going to see if some of my real life friends are interested first. At least one of them is, waiting on others to respond...

    But don't let me hold you guys back. I'm sure you can find another

    Alright then, LF1M borderlands 4-pack! Do you want to play a game with like a bazillion guns (:D), but have no friends that are as awesome as you (:()? This is your chance to get in on the ground floor for cheaper than the average joe!

    I'd be interested in going in on a four pack if there is still room.

    Steam friend invite sent, and I've PM'd details to the three of you.

    Yeah, that's pretty much my deciding factor too. How much fun it is to punch shit. It seems like they wouldn't have made a whole tree and a half of a character (not to mention his class skill) unless it was actually pretty fun. Guess we'll see. From my understanding, when you're in Berserker (BERSERKER!) mode, you can only punch?

    That's my impression, yeah. I figure it'll be an "OH SHIT" button when you're suddenly at extremely close range with several enemies and your shotgun isn't reloading fast enough. My primary concern is how hard you'll have to work to keep it scaling properly to do that job.

    The whole 'shooting to heal' thing.... Is that damage dealt from guns converted into health or is it overall damage dealt? 'Cause using Bricks Berserker on your teammates to heal them would be awesome.

    Medical Soldier With Support.

    I think this is what I will try first of all. Will go deep into the Medic tree first for survivability. Then probably the Support skills next.

    This was the Brick Build I was considering. Though I may change things up depending on just how much additional health regeneration and Damage Reduction Berserk by itself provides. I also want to see if getting sting like a bee will cause all punches to make you dash. That strikes me as something that'd come off as annoying.

    Actually, this build is pretty much questionable until I can get some real specifics on it. Like Revenge and whether or not it too stacks to Melee Damage, since it says ALL weapons. More Than Double your damage for killing an enemy? Fuck yeah.

    Depending on how fast/slow Explosive weapons fire I may switch Endowed for Rapid Reload.

    Modecai has pistols too.

    Think Roland is assault rifles and shotguns and lilith is elemental weaponry.

    http://www.borderlandsthegame.com/

    Head to the Fortune Hunters section. Info on each character there plus links to a skill tree editor for each.

    But to cut long story short:

    Brick = Explosive Weapons and his fists.
    Mordecai = Sniper Rifles and Revolvers.
    Roland = Shotguns and Combat Rifles.
    Lilith = Incendiary, Shock and Corrosive guns.

    After watching these streams of people playing Borderlands already, I'm pretty set on rolling a Tank Brick for my first play-through. I figure if I can get fully upgraded health / shield / juggernaut / payback / unbreakable by lvl 30, I should be nearly impossible to kill.

    The "Shoot to heal" is a Roland specific skill, so no healing teammates by punching them in the head. You can however fire rockets at their head.

    But fear not, I'm sure we still be able to shoot mans and collect loots.

    I'm not quite sure which class I want to be yet. Normally I really like sniping etc., but in a co-op game it usually doesn't work so well, because most people like rushing forward. Maybe I'll just be Brick. Few people are interested in that (haven seen anyone mention it recently) so at least I'll be wanted :P

    I'm not sure why that would be a bad thing for a sniper. It means if you shoot someone and it doesn't kill them, you won't be the first thing they rush to. Then again, it might be harder to keep up with loot, but that shouldn't be a problem if you don't play with dicks and let them realize the snipers that drop will be more useful to you than to them.

    i'm leaning towards Brick since I imagine the more unique styles of gun would be of the launcher variety.

    the "sting like a bee" skill seems interesting but, like someone mentioned before, it could end up rather annoying.

    What does daze do?

    I know, I know, accuracy and speed penalties to the target. But how much? Does it just inflict some shitty minor run speed debuff, or does it knock mobs so stupid that they have a hard time fighting back?
