Maya Leveling Guide from 1 - 72 OP8 - Borderlands 2

- Here you will find a leveling guide for Maya from the beginning all the way to level 72. I show how I would allocate my skill points leveling up and hopefully this can be use to some people who might have trouble deciding how to level up a Maya for the first time. Also, this build does not include Cloud Kill.
Update: This video was made pre-Cloud Kill buff, so take a point out of Flicker and put it in cloud kill instead. - เกม
I would liked to point out for any who may watch this, Cloud Kill was buffed and you REALLY want to put a point into it before Chain Reaction. You may even be better off going through that tree FIRST JUST for cloud kill.
I agree. As a Maya player ( Said like an absolute douche, destroying the sub fandom of waifu Maya, the asexual God! ), specing into cloud kill early on can actually destroy enemies quickly in normal mode, and in UVHM ( Ultimate Vault Hunter Mode ) it can wreck still.
i was playing uvhm on my own with a slag pistol and killed saturn on my own with cloud kill
can only agree, i dont know yet how it scales but early on ir can easily oneshot most trash type. enemies, sometimes clear groups of them for 1 bullet,which can come. in handy
I'm in TVHM with lvl45 right now and in some missions or bonus objectives where I have to kill in a certain way or bring enemies to low hp or if I want to stack Goliath lvls I often can't do it just because the cloud deals such freaking high dmg. I can imagine it to be weaker later on, but it still is crazy strong at this point, so I guess it might still be decent later on.
Just picked it up on my first playthrough as Maya and it absolutely demolished Wilhelm who I had trouble defeating as Zer0. Easily one of her best skills
I've basically gone entirely off this build alone in a recent playthrough and it is perfect. I also take a point in Cloudkill now cause of the buffs to it but this was the Inspiration for my recent build! You're a lot of help.
Man you're content has helped me so much in this game just started my siren gunna be using you're guide you're the best man you deserve way more like and subscribers
This video was released before the most recent Borderlands Two patch which buffed Cloud Kill. It’s now a near must have skill for any Maya build.
this guide is damn perfect the way u walk trough the skills is just fantastic!
Thanks man!
Cloudkill is now one of the most overpowered skills in the game
It does 6k per tick at level 35 which means it deals as much dps as sniping an enemys head with aimbot and high firerate, but in an area
Started playing this game again for first time in years on a new level 30 siren with my friend. Cloud kill essentially soloed everything in tvhm with all enemies scaled for duo lol. Not as insane in uvhm but still pretty ridiculous.
Can Backdraft combine with flame of the firehawk?
This is not a levelling guide .. this is how to allocate your skill points for this specific build AFTER you reach max rank hahaha
I believe, by leveling guide, he meant allocating points per each level. It would seem that he is showing you how to allocate points per level as you further in the game. So in that sense, one could consider it a leveling guide.
So its a speccing guide so what
The order is exactly the order im taking so you can use it as leveling guide too
But skill cloud kill its ridiculous overpowered after its been patched
@Bacons Strip dude this Video is 4 years old 🙄🙄🙄
Good day sir. I always enjoy your vids.
Quick question. what weapon load out are you using for this build, and why? Saw the Grog and Pimp, but couldn't get the others. Also, what shield and com?
Thanks😉
I was probably using a sandhawk, harold, bee shield and legendary siren or cat com, mainly for doing raids or digi peak. Haven't played bl2 in months so I can say for sure, but this is what I used to run on Maya. She's pretty diverse though and can use a lot of different weapons and do well
Agent Lomax Ah ok....thanks. On a Maya on Vita. My main's on 360...don't judge...I usually used SMG's and cat coms. After falling away from Destiny, I've fallen back into BL universe...especially with anticipation of a 'BL 3'.
Play on
This is a respec guide dude
Was cloud kill buff on the community patch or base game? I had no idea there was a community patch until right now LOL
nicholas thxbyelawl it was buffed in one of the last updates to base game
Really helped me!
Cloud Kill is one of the strongest Maya's skill It kills enemies. Not only loaders, in UVHM also. Very strong skill.
Other skill I recommend is Subsequence. It depence on your playstyle. It cnange your playstyle.
Often three cycles per phaselock - Ruin-Converge-Subsequence-Ruin-Converge-Subsequence-Ruin-Converge-Subsequence
Everybody grouped, slagged and dead :))) I recommend Subsequence. It's overkill skill
Nice work.
On my maya I would put my points in Helios and cloud kill,not put any but sweet release in the middle,and I would put my points in sub which is in motion and some other kill skills
Have you changed your spec since Maya got buffed?
+Nick Lewis I'd say take a point out of flicker and move it into cloud kill. Everything else should be the same.
Hey agent I like your videos. This one doesn’t make much sense to me but still thanks for guiding new players.
To other people looking up stuff. GET CLOUD KILL. It will make you able to kill almost anything your level or even a few levels above and prove guns almost obsolete. At least all the way up into UVHM. Just get a slag weapon and go to town. Otherwise this build doesn’t necessarily maximize ruin or the amount of slag and damage you can deal. For example having suspension doesn’t help ruin unless also using subsequence. If not subsequence then suspension reduces the amount of time till your next ruin. So basically only use suspension if it is for a subsequence build. And always look up multiple builds before you follow. And test things yourself.
I am still starting to play maya and when i killed knuckle dragger he dropped a legendary corrode pistol
N o i c e
Devon Bagares nice! The hornet is a great pistol
Same
N o i c e
Hornet
Lucky. But with Maya, I've been having better luck getting lengendary items with her than any other character.
I don't know why this doesn't have more likes!
+Boom Time Thanks man, appreciate the compliment
Sweet video! / Volcanic.
Is this really the order you recommend new Maya players invest their skill points in while getting to 72? If not then it's not really a levelling guide, and I definitely would have done this in a different order, personally.
It's hard to pick one build for Maya. She's imo the most diverse character
what weapon is that from the start
It's a Hyperion plasma caster (etech smg)
What about lvl80 op10
Lomax is the man,
Thx king. You have my like, my comment and my love and not, not on that order
In my opinion, your much better putting 4 points into either immolate or Helios and putting 5 into flicker but overall it rly isn’t that important, especially with the legendary siren boosting flicker
Another point, don’t take accelerate if u plan on using the pimpernel
wow Maya looks really op. ills have to play as her when I'm done with gaige. but I still have my lvl 51 sal... there are too many classes lol
Rush Cloud kill?
It was shit when this video was uploaded
cloudkill was horrible when this video was made, it tickled basic enemies
I guess this was before cloud kill was op
I have 39 skill points although I’m at level 43 I mean what the heck.
cloud kill and Helios are amazing now
also just noticed the description
Helios isn't amazing. It's just ok, and only really worth using if you're using a Binder COM.
These are your opinions on the best builds, you should have multiple choices for different play styles in borderlands
I can't disagree
Hey I made a document of this entire video showing what points to put at what level so if you dont want to keep coming back to this video here is the doc and enjoy!

That is BEYOND inefficient... You need Helios and Sub-sequent. Take everything out of Flicker, because Flicker is only effective if you constantly use elemental weapons. Flicker depends on the player. However, if you throw Helios into the mix, that causes the enemy stuck in phaselock to take damage ontop of the damage its already taking because of Ruin. Focus your attacks on the guy that's phaselocked to cause Cloud kill to come into effect, dealing even MORE damage to kill him, then you get the benefit of Sweet release and all your Kill Skills. After he dies, Subsequent comes into effect, phaselocking someone else, dealing a ton of damage because of Helios and Ruin, Shoot him for Cloud kill, he dies, you gain Sweet release and your Kill Skills, repeat until Phaselock ends, then start all over again when you get your Phaselock back.
Kurt Russell but Helios has such poor damage, I would spec into cloud kill instead, after they buffed its damage it's a monster Pre OP and still scales pretty well into the OP levels.
I had mentioned cloud kill in my play style.
"Focus your attacks on the guy that's phaselocked to cause Cloud kill to come into effect, dealing even MORE damage to kill him"
There are many ways to play Maya and it's hard to say one build is good for her. The one I show here is the one I've used for ages and I can easily solo the peak and the raids with it. For general mobbing, there's a lot that works that I haven't explored
Im pretty late but the reason you dont want those is cause you dont want to kill the enemy you phase lock so you can take advantage of wreck
You are correct about cloud kill and Helios they are essential
any maya player that ignores life tap which is free pass on immortality is beyond me :D
I use a grog most of the time, so life tap isn't as necessary especially with cloud kill now. Without a grog/rubi, I'd 100% take life tap
but why bother switching to grog when you can just burn stuff with good guns plus in that tree you get scorn which is more slag and sustinence will keep u alive through dots
It appears we have different playstyles. Plus I tend to do a lot more raiding than mobbing and this build has worked for me, not to discredit yours. Maya has many playstyles that work even at OP8 and that's why she's such a well designed character.
ah well raiding without grog is impossible nearly so yeah but i find it boring too so have fun with your build mate ^^

Skipping cloud kill while leveling is terrible advice. It deals a buttload of damage at least up until uvhm.
This guide was made before the cloud kill update. I recommend it at all levels of play now as they made it a lot better
Hum? All of you guys who make these videos are greatly appreciated but............but.......with experience and lots of skill points, all of you forget how to be a beginner. A beginning player has no need of Ruin and this skill is not needed until UVHM, but what is needed in the beginning is the ability to survive. So learn to survive first and then little by little work your way towards the Cataclysm tree and Ruin before UVHM and you can always respec at level 50 prior to UVHM .
So a beginner should go as follows.
Sweet Release, two points. All you need are two, two orbs will heal you. So do not waste points. This is for solo play......Coop......fine go 5/5 but if solo only 2/5 will completely heal you.
Ward 5/5 is next and mandatory to stay alive. Do not........do not go someplace like the City of Opportunity without Ward.......learn to survive first and then later worry about Ruin and the mandatory UVHM requirement of slagging everything before you shoot it..........provided you even want to go there.
Next is 5/5 in Suspension........your action skill for Maya is a great one.......so use it, and use it often, take cover and keep enemies under control and more use of your action skill helps you do this. With 5/5 in Suspension you can almost keep something phase locked constantly and a quick retreat and use of cover then pop out and phase lock that Badass Loader or Nomad Blaster..........and they die quick without Ruin.....this is normal mode not UVHM.
Next you want Converge........get them all together similar to a singularity grenade. Put 4/5 in this one, you can come back later but for now 4/5. Because you want Inertia fast as you can.
Last pick up Quicken.......just before Hero's pass .
This will serve you the best in the beginning of the game during Normal Mode. Then once you enter TVHM you can start working on the Cataclysm Tree. Some wonderful skills in there but you do not need them in Normal mode.......In normal you need to survive until you gain skills to support end game skills.
I am playing Maya, first time and I have as many hours in this game as these pros who make these videos.........just never played as Maya. But I have spent lots of money at the respect station.........Grin. Trying this, trying that, and up to Tundra Express did not die, and in normal mode I recommend letting Hammerlock stuff his Varkid nonsense where the sun does not shine......Lol. You want better skills and better guns than those you have at level 15 or 16 to tangle with Injected Badass Varkids........hey you do not need the experience points and if you farm the Snowman just before going to see Bloodwing you will get some good weapons, class mods, and each time you kill the Snowman you gain experience points so farm him about 20 times and you will be two levels above Bloodwing for that fight. Speaking of Hammerlock around this point in the game he will ask you to go kill Ole Slappy, now this is a great mission, there is a rock on the left side of the roadside entrance to the bridge, just hide behind it and shoot Ole Slappy in the eye with a sniper. Go turn the mission in and come back and farm Ole Slappy about ten times. This is one thing Hammerlock is good for as you will get a Kick Ass Shotgun called the Striker. Good damage, fire rate and range. It will last you untill the end of Sawtooth. Then you can go get another one in TVHM. And eventually in UVHM it is a Kick Ass Shotgun. As is the Heartbreaker........I love that one too and you get it from Moxxi for killing Blue. As for Hammerlock in Caustic Caverns.......screw him, he gives you some worthless ordinary Hyperion SMG. But the Octo shotgun he gives you for Ole Slappy is sometimes a good one, just depends on the luck of the RNG. So kill Blue with the 100 percent Melee weapon you get in Sanctuary the Judge pistol and get out of there. You cannot phase lock Threshers.......so the reward does not equal the sacrifice. Oh in normal mode tell Scooter to stuff it too.......that mission to find Shorty puts you into contact with some really vicious stalkers and your reward is a SKIN.........really game?? A SKIN.......well stuff it!!! Come back later in TVHM and complete them so you can pick up the quest from the wandering Nomad and go farm for Sledges shotgun. Do not even try this on normal mode. Like Tannis says.......you will die seriously. Grin!! I think Tannis will be the new Bad Queen in Borderlands 3, yep like she says, I have no need for your help or to speak to you........I think the hints are there.
I have played them all, just had never played as Maya.........I have been missing out!! Looks like she will become my favorite. I enjoy Gaige for a death dealing machine, but Maya simply is just more fun. And it is you and only you against the game. No help just you. With a full level 72 Anarchy Gaige I can destroy everything.......Everything is gonna Die......Grin.......but Maya is turning out to be more fun.
I also think someone at Gearbox likes Maya.......why?? Because I can make from ten to 60 runs at Savage Lee for a Harold........with Maya so far I got a Corrosive pistol from Knuckledragger........a Harold first run and two low level Legendary weapons from loot midgets in finding the Firehawk mission.......not that they will help me later but things are looking up. And Maya and Loot Midgets.......dangerous hard to kill little turds.....not for Maya, just put them in a bubble and burn them down. Grin. She is the Loot midget specialist. Want to hunt loot midgets.......go talk to Maya.
Oh.......weapons to use.........pick good damage high fire rate weapons, such as SMG but watch them close.....you want a large magazine capacity, something like a Bandit with a 50 or 80 round Mag is great..........and max out your SMG and Pistol ammo first. Hyperion pistols and Vladdolf (however you spill that) are the best. Leave the cowboy pistols and Torque shotguns alone. You want high fire rates. This is normal mode and you do not have skills to increase fire rate yet.............and personally I do not even use any assault rifle with one exception.......I always carry around a Torque explosive rifle or spittering sputter......and I use that to kill Bloodwing and you will get a good Torque weapon farming the snowman. Take it and go wear that bird out. I only go to the ammo cost of 8 eridium on assault ammo...that is enough as with rare exceptions assault rifles SUCK. You will die trying to reload one. And a good pistol has ten times their damage. PIck up that SMG in the water pool during finding the firehawk mission.......about the same as a Sandhawk.........best SMG in the game in normal mode. Do not like the version you get? Just exit the area and come back and each time you enter the area another one will spawn in the pool.......you want the React one.......tighter and faster fire rate. It will eat Bandit vehicles for lunch in the Dust. And kill Buzzards with ease.
Cheers!!

I can't read this
