Planning a Moze build in Borderlands 3 require a decision about how many skill point to assign to each skill tree. The Blue skill tree provide bonuses to splash damage and grenade loops. The Red skill tree provide bonuses to shield capacity and damage dealt at low health.
The Green skill tree provides bonuses to magazine size and ammo sustain. The Purple skill tree provides bonuses to Iron Bear and Iron Cub uptime. Each of these skill tree offers different benefits to your character.
Plan a Moze Build with a Calculator
Therefore, you must decide which skill tree benefit your specific playstyle. The calculator tool for building a Moze build in Borderlands 3 allow you to perform mathematical calculations after you input your point total for each skill tree and your preferred role. The calculator is useful because it saves you from having to guess how your points in one tree will interact with others.
You must understand what each input in the calculator represents in the game. It is more important to understand the inputs than to achieve the perfect score on the calculator. For instance, magazine size and fire rate will determine how long you can shoot before having to reload for ammo.
The splash share will determine how much damage your gun will do if they splash out. Magazine size and splash damage scaling will not reach the same maximum at the same time. Therefore, a calculator allow you to see how to best allocate your skill points.
Many players will find that putting alot of skill points into one tree is better than spreading them out among the trees when Mayhem level are high. For instance, if you put 26 points into the Demolition Woman capstone skill tree, you gain access to the Short Fuse skill. However, if you put 26 points into Short Fuse, you have fewer skill points to spend in the other three tree.
The calculator will help you to choose between the value of one skill tree as opposed to the others based on your role in the game and the level of Mayhem. Shield capacity and health reservation skill work the same as the skill trees. For example, if you want to have a lot of health reservation skills, you will have to invest your skill points into the Red skill tree.
However, investing in health reservation skills will mean that you take more damage in the game. The calculator will make this relationship visible for you. Iron Bear and Iron Cub skill uptime work the same as the skill trees.
For instance, skill points in the Purple skill tree will improve the cooldown and damage of your action skills. However, Purple skill tree points will only have value if you use the mech in the game. If you only ever use Iron Bear in emergencies, then your investment in the Purple skill tree will have a different value.
This can be adjusted in the action skill dropdown on the calculator. Class mod rank will also give you extra skill points. These extra skill points will improve every skill tree.
The calculator treats class mod ranks as a multiplier for your skill points. These ranks do not use your actual skill point budget to improve your skills. One of the most common mistake that players make is thinking that every skill tree must be invested in to reach it’s capstone skill.
For instance, you can invest 15 points in the Bottomless Mags skill without abandoning your Blue skill tree points. The reference tables will show you the points that will open up each new tier in each skill tree. This information is important to know to see how flexible or locked into one identity your character will be.
If you invest more than 20 points into one tree, it is more difficult to change that investment in the game. However, the reference tables will show where you can make investments early in your skill points to avoid making such a mistake. The key skill emphasis field in the calculator is also important.
For instance, if you choose the Short Fuse skill, you must have enough skill points to unlock the skill in your Blue skill tree. For instance, if you choose the Desperate Measures skill, it will give you reward when you have low health. However, it will provide less value if your health does not drop to half of your maximum health.
Similarly, the grenade trigger per minute will change how valuable some skills are in your Blue skill tree. For instance, if you have the Vampyr skill, you will gain health the more grenade that you throw. If you do not throw many grenades, you will not gain as much health.
The level of Mayhem that you plan to play will alter your build. For instance, if you are playing on easier levels, you will not require as many points in any of the skill trees. Mayhem pressure will alter the readiness score that is presented for you on the calculator to match the level of Mayhem that you play in the game.
This is necessary to provide you with an accurate estimation of your build. The actual value of this calculator tool is that it forces you to identify your priorities before you use your respec. For example, if you determine that splash damage is your priority over any of the other skills, you can begin to form your build to accommodate that priority.
The calculator makes these tradeoffs between each of the skills in the game very visible to you so that you’re in-game build will match your actual combat style.
