    Strangely enough I'm yet to encounter somebody using the hunter in co-op. I've seen a ton of Roland, a bunch of Lilith, & a Brick or two, but so far no Mordecai.

    I am playing as Brick and loving it, the berserking skill is a ton of fun, shoot down some folks then go in and  finish them with berserk , I also play coop with a friend who is a soldier and  it is a awesome combo with me tanking and him healing.

    I enjoy being a Siren and have yet to try any of the other classes.
     
    Perhaps I'll start up a Hunter soon.

    I always play as tank classes to start, so it's Brick for me.  I enjoy Mordecai also, though.  He'll definitely be my alt, as heavy DPS classes are usually my secondary.  How is Lilith for DPS, though?  I still haven't used her yet.

    Hunter because I plan to play through it cooperatively with 2 other people, and I'm guessing a hunter that specializes in sniping dudes will be pretty powerful.

    I have tried all of them, but I like Roland the best and will be finishing the game with him.  I could see myself playing pretty deep into the game with Mordecai, too.

    I started today.  I'm really enjoying the Siren.  I like the fact that she can just scoot away if things get too hairy or jump in and whack a dude before he even knows she's there.  Mobility, that's what I like.

    I like Roland, but the percentages of the poll say a lot about how all characters are viable and fun.  Kudos Gearbox.

     Roland seems the ideal way to go. I'm disappointed in the action skill system. It pretty much makes the three other characters useless. I also don't think any form of "Brick" is really strong enough to just sit there and be a meat shield for more than a couple seconds. Hence why I didn't play alongside a single Brick in my whole playthrough. I did end up choosing Lilith, though, maxing out her Phase duration. It's great beating everyone else to the exits and flanking enemies.

    You seriously underestimate a Brick with some points dumped into HP/Shields/Tank tree. Not to mention he regens health and takes reduced damage during berserk.

    started out as a soldier and got to 16 but switched to with the hunter and haven't looked back since.  bloodwing is amazing and the sniper tree makes peoples heads pop off easier.

    I have a tank/berserk specced brick and he has 2K health and 1.6K shield and haven't died since level 23 (am level 47 now).  Brick isn't meant to be a meat shield, he's just meant to lead the charge and be a tough scout basically.  Also he does MASSIVE DPS with his action skill with elemental artifacts equipped.

    I've only played as the Hunter, but I have thoroughly enjoyed it.  The way I have him specialized, he is pretty much unstoppable.  I am nearing the level cap.  My current level is at 42 and my skill points were distributed pretty evenly between Sniper and Gunslinger.  I greatly increased my sniper and pistol clips to carry more ammo, all my rounds can penetrate shields, whenever I kill a dude it recovers health and allows me to do more damage per shot, and I picked up a Class Mod that allows me to regenerate pistol ammo.  My current load out consists of the following:

    • TMP8.2 Cold Torment (lvl 31) rapid fire pistol
                       Damage - 149 (+100%)
                       Accuracy - 92.8
                       Fire Rate - 9.3 (plus 16% bonus from skill tree) and (+ 60% bonus from class mod)
                       Mag Size - 46 (+7 regenerating ammo from class mod) 
                       +65% Recoil Reduction 
                       Rarity - Blue
    • PPZ30 Steel Thunder (lvl 35) sniper rifle
                       Damage - 581 (+80%)
                       Accuracy - 94.8
                       Fire Rate - 2.4 (+40%)
                       Mag Size - 10
                       1.5x zoom
                       +150% Crit. Damage 
                       Rarity - Purple
    • SPR40 Incendiary Shotgun (lvl 33) (x1 fire) <-- High Chance
                       Damage - 63x9
                       Accuracy - 56.7
                       Fire Rate - 0.9 
                       Mag Size - 6
                       Rarity - Green
    • EQ330-8 Bloody Equalizer (lvl 26) revolver
                       Damage - 287
                       Accuracy - 88.1
                       Fire Rate - 1.6
                       Mag Size - 3 with Unending Firepower (regen bullets)
                       +200% melee
                        3.7x zoom
                        +53% reload speed
                        Rarity - Orange

      I'm loving the Berserker,  lots of fun pounding weaklings to death while laughing maniacally.  I'm a "front lines" kinda guy anyway so the up close nature of Brick really suits my play style.  My favorite class out of the 4, though honestly they all are a lot of fun to play.

    Roland is the most popular because of his skills. As you progress further in the game and allocate more skill point he just gets stronger and more badass. He's to strong. I personaly like the Hunter because BloodWing is the best special skill and snipers ftw!

    Roland since I played him the first time 'round and I found him to be incredibly versatile. I'm playing Lilith now and she's a little tricky but I'll get around it. I'll probably play as Mordecai after that.

    The siren is just bad-ass, I had to vote for her.  Since starting that character I haven't touched the soldier, he just isn't as dynamic.  Mordecai has a game-breaking glitch, so that's pretty cool.  The beserker's rage makes me giggly so really I like them all.

    Roland, I usually always go with the well-rounded, balanced character. Borderlands just happens to also provide such a character and with support skills as well.

    Siren. They all get pretty beefy end game but Siren is great cause travelling around and using Phase Walk to move faster is handy.

    Even though I am a level 26 with brick and Im only a level 8 with siren I chose siren. Probably because I chose her first.
    EDIT: I deleted those other two characters and got to level 61 with Roland because he is very dynamic.

    Roland isn't support although he is capable of it he is primarily a soldier and his turret along with high damage output and high damage resistance upgrades makes him extremely appealing for solo play. I played all but the Siren to lvl 20 before taking Roland the soldier through the game.

    Brick is my favorite character. Taking shit loads of damage then going berserk and killing people by uppercutting them with the incendiary artifact attached while healing fast as hell at the same time and resisting all kinds of damage never gets old. Also his maniacal laugh and things he say make the game that much better. Melee has never been so much fun.
     
    How is Brick the least liked?

    I started as Roland as I rented it for just a night to see if I liked it.
     
    Ordered my own copy now but am going to main Mordecai; mostly because I found that even as Roland I was using the sniper rifle the most and fancy getting some killer headshots xD.
     
    I am playing through with a mate who is using Lilith. Strange that neither of us wanted to main either the tank or support but I doubt we will have any trouble; we only died once each between levels 1-14 (because we ran into an area where we were extremely under-leveled).

    I went with Mordecai, probably going with Lilith as my second character.  Mordecai is great though.

    Picked Siren first - her phasewalk starts out really meh but gets a lot better once you start adding class mods to it.  Plus, you can spec her so her melee attack does Corrosive damage :D 
     
    I do only play her online though - play a Soldier solo, but that's only because he's the most survivable.  The classes do seem kinda imbalanced though... he's much better all around for everything (can regen health and ammo, heal people, brings 2 guns to the fight instead of one...)
