Hey guys. I have been so busy juggling school and Borderlands 2. I am obsessed, and waiting for the Mechromancer to come. I loved Mordecai in BL1 because of Bloodwing so I'm hoping that the BL2 pet character class will be just as awesome.

Gearbox is starting to reveal info about her now and made her a Twitter account! I'm not sure what exactly has been shown about her so far, but we now have an in game screen of her. Her name is Gaige. She looks pretty cool, much better than what I was expecting from the concept art. Here is a link to her along with a picture of her and Deathtrap, her pet! What do you think of her finalized design? (Keep in mind you can freely switch her head skin as you unlock them)

EDIT: It also looks like she's revealing the names of three of her skills: "Make It Sparkle", "Sharing is Caring", "Electrical Burn" and is taking questions on them. Gearbox I love you.

EDIT2: Her skill tree is now active!

Wonder if this will be as funny as the Knox twitter was back when that dlc released. Really looking forward to this class. Aside from Salvador being amusing to play as, the initial 4 haven't really clicked with me as well as Mordecai did in the original. Also really like her design.

Hey everybody! Gaige here. Mechromancer. I mance mechros.

"Mance mechros." That tickles the part of my brain that gets a rise out of wordplay.

I thought that her name and skill tree had been revealed prior to this?

We knew her name, the titles of her skill trees, and a couple skills (not the ones that he's mentioning though).

More importantly we now know it isn't Mech-Romancer.

She looks cool. The pet gives me horrible flashbacks to BL1. I played a Mordecai in that game spec'd in such a way as to never ever use the bloodwing because the pathfinding AI on it was soooooooooooooooooooo bad.

You do know that Bloodwing attacked where your crosshair was aiming right? For instance, if you unleash her looking into the rafters, she's gonna get caught in the rafters.

I consider that a missed opportunity.

Indeed.

Looks cool. I can definitely see myself doing a run through with Gaige and her "pet."

guess this means i'm gonna have a 3rd character running now.

35hrs so far and no sign of stopping.

We knew her name for a while now. I'm really looking forward to the Mechromancer. Should probably finish the game first though. I hope she's a little more resilient than the Siren (one wrong move and I get my ass kicked). Although any character called 'somethingmancer' can't have tons of health.

In all honesty, I would rather be playing the Mechromancer right now instead of the Assassin. She seems way more like Mordecai than Zero will ever be, which is all I want. Why isn't it the 16th yet?

Eh, i pre-ordered the game so i'm getting it for free, but honestly i don't think i'd get it anyway. Her action skill just isn't that interesting to me, and using snipers and smg's isn't my thing, I play Zer0 and maxed out the bloodshed tree, and when i have to use a gun i use an assault rifle, or Jakob's pistol. Long story short, don't really know why everyone is so excited for this DLC.

PS: Zombie Island 2 Needs to happen :D.

Updated OP with Mechromancer skill tree. So many skills! She has 6 more skills than Siren, Assassin and (I think) Gunzerker, and 5 more skills than Commando.

Das what my potential level 50 Mechromancer would look like! Definitely a lot of weird and quirky skills in there it seems. Her entire Ordered Chaos tree is... well, appropriately titled. Anywhoo I stuck down Little Big Trouble for the most part, because I WANT TO DISCHARGE AN ELECTRICAL CURRENT WHEN I RELOAD <3

@Yummylee: Not sure what to think about what I'm seeing of Ordered Chaos, but I will definitnely try it out. Who knows I might love managing these "stacks".

Here's my build:

ordered chaos looks like one hell of a tree, if ive got it right it looks like anarchy and discord will be used as some sort of balancing act between damage and accuracy/healing and anarchy can be used to power your melee. this tree really appeals to me, im not sure why

The class looks really great so far. I'm not really sure about the skilltree until I try it though. Glad that Gearbox is willing to try a "cute" class, too. Good VO and I'm glad she isn't annoying.

Ordered Chaos seems like it could make the game really interesting. I'm really looking forward to this character.

Hmm, really strange skilltree. A lot of it seems very ripped from the Siren, while other stuff seem very convoluted. Finding it hard to see what kinda playstyle they are going for for the different trees, guess it makes more sense once you start playing.

I have so many different characters right now for playing with different groups of friends, as time allows, and now I'm pretty sure we'll have a group of nothing but mechromancers.

The skill name and set references were pretty surprising to me, some gave me a good laugh. That Ordered Chaos tree looks tough to master, but I kind of like non-vanilla run-and-gun skill sets, so maybe that'd be good. Either way, a character with a pet ability is good with me (always mained Necromancer in Diablo II, so much fun being the support guy with curses and a pet army).
