Removed 3/5 in Aerial Impact: Going without the Daze isn’t a huge loss. This has some downsides though: shielded enemies can’t be made to flinch from being hit, and elemental DoT must cut through their shield first before it can damage their health (this is worst for Incendiary, then Corrosive, and is not a significant drawback for Shock weapons) Trespass added: Bypassing shields can be a huge buff, particularly versus Lance Probes and Eridians whose hitpoints are mostly shielding. Caliber added: For when we take advantage of Loaded and break out our sniper rifles. Combined with Gun Crazy, the potential for spike damage with pistols is enormous! Since Mordecai’s other damage buffs apart from the tiny bullet damage buff from Trespass (not in standard version of this tree), are all weapon damage, this will stack multiplicatively with your other damage buffs. The increased damage scales with the number of points in the skill, so with it being buffed by the com we can expect 160% (180% w/ +4 Relentless) increased bullet damage. Relentless: One of the strongest DPS buffing skills in the entire game, it increases fire rate and gives a 25% for increased bullet damage, and it’s buffed by the com. Hair Trigger: A pistol buff?!! Heck yes! Predator: A nice accessible bit of cooldown reduction for a good friend, Bloodwing. Gun Crazy: Twice the projectiles, twice the fun! Pistols only, but that’s what this build is all about! Because of how this skill works, it’s scales multiplicatively with all other DPS buffs. As a result this skill’s marginal benefit varies depending on the target in question, but hey, it’s more damage, and it’s on the com anyways, might as well go 5/5. This bonus is additive with other critical hit bonuses including the base value for the give target’s critical hit zone, which varies widely from enemy to enemy (a regular bandit has a value of +150% damage taken for a headshot). Deadly: This skill increases critical hit damage by 15% of non-critical damage per point.
Thus this skill is a massive force multiplier where Bloodwing is concerned and highly recommended for all Mordecai builds that use Bloodwing much. Bird Of Prey: This skill increases the number of times Bloodwing can attack before he will return to you automatically, he cannot attack the same target twice in a row but can ‘bounce back and forth’ among two or more targets as many times as he has attacks allowed. The tooltip claims 100% chance at 5/5 but this does not appear to be even close to accurate (it’s way lower), but the additional loot comes from it’s own pool, which has a rather high average quality in endgame play, thus it can be an excellent source of good loot from mobbing, and this makes it a highly recommended skill for just about any Mordecai build. Ransack: This skill is an on-kill skill that cause subsequent kills you score within 7 seconds to have a chance to drop additional loot. Aerial Impact (3/5): Dazed enemies have ■■■■ for accuracy, fire rate and movement speed, making them much less dangerous and easier to kill too.
Out For Blood: This is Mordecai’s best healing skill by far (Riotous Remedy pales in comparison) and since bloodwing will do good damage with how many points we’ve invested in him, we will get plenty of health back from this. Fast Hands: More reload speed? Yes please. Swift Strike: More damage and speed for Bloodwing, always welcome. Loaded: Increases Sniper Rifle magazine size and is buffed by the com, since we have enough points to spare, might as well go 5/5 in this too. Killer: One of the best tier 2 skills in the game and it works w/ all weapons, might as well go 5/5 in this. Focus: This buffs our accuracy a bit, and is a stepping stone to get to Killer and Loaded. This guide contains two builds, the first, a fairly standard Rogue-Gunslinger tree, the second a more DPS focused variant with less points invested in Bloodwing. It is widely suspected that this was a mistake on Gearbox’s part and that it was intended to be Hair Trigger instead. Curiously, this com buffs the skill Loaded which increases Sniper Rifle magazine size, despite clearly being a pistol focused com. A popular com choice for Mordecai, the Gunslinger com is focused on buffing his effectiveness with Pistols of all types, it is one of his strongest offensive coms and is often his best offensive com to use with non-Pistol, non-Sniper Rifle weapons as well.
