Brick was bottom tier in BL1. Best classes were Lilith and Mordecai.
Dude, I know what I saw in BL1 between me & my clansmen. & we traveled & beaten BL1 together & BL2 together. The results were as expected when all 4 of us play. Which is Brick was the best compared to the other 3. I know this topic isnt about BL1 but it does help explain my point between Gunzerker & Berserker.
I'm going to assume you never played Brick before because what your saying that Brick is the lowest player to play as is really astonishing nonsense. Ever dualed a Berserker before at your own level? Simply the Berserker just needs to punch you 3 or 4 times and your dead. Unless your in a arena where you can run for your damn life in fear of Berserker the whole fight. However, in condition of dualing a Berserker; the Berserker has a much much higher chance of winning against Mordy or Lilith or Roland.
As for hordes of enemies, this was simply proven by me & my clansmen in survival waves, tough times, & mostly during the Zombie Apocalypse. My clansmen would get into "fight for your life" mode alot & I wouldn't. Why is that? Because I have the most health & shield out of the 3. & Unlike Gunzerker, My resistance towards damage was much higher & my health regeneration was much higher, allowing me to stay alive against a horde. If my clansmen go into the Horde, they'll die. Also to mention, I have more power to destroy others with my team mates guns, better then they can if I get my kill skills activated. Those kill skills I mentioned earlier was "Master Blaster" & "Revenge" (Imagine how stronger I am with Rockets). From seeing my clansmen get downed alot, its RARE to see me get downed. Unlike Gunzerker & my clansmen, rockets & other explosive items that the enemy uses, I resist by 40% because of the perk "Cast Iron". Add that to my Juggernaut perk which grants me to resistance towards all damage by 50%. That's 90% resistance towards explosive & thats without a class mod.
Do I even need to explain the unbelievable damage I do?
AGAIN, to those who thought Berserker was the lowest compared to the other 3 is out of their god damn mind. The reason why people must of not of liked him I'm guessing was because people only liked guns & only had experience with guns only. Their virgin babies when it comes to being the tank of destruction that is clearly not the same as other gun users. I imagine them picking perks that are not that worthy (Like Blood Sport) or perks that are not that logical towards building other skills that adds up into a powerful conclusion for other perks to have a connection from one another. I'm thinking they make there shit like a jack of all ways. Which makes their conclusion into a weak one, like a half-assed job in your work. Its either that, or you've never played Brick before; that's my guess.
If you have played Brick, start a conversation with me telling me HOW is Brick the suckiest compared to Roland, Mordy, & Lilith, giving me details between the 2 & compare & contrasting. Also this is way out of the point I was trying to make that Gunzerker still isn't better then Berserker.
(Lol, after putting up this report about Berserker, one of my clansmen read it & specifically said "Brick's one of the top tier players". & that's coming from someone who is almost a genius at video games compared to me. He also plays as Mordecai)
