Siren's Dance with Crawmerax

This run was recorded not for perfection so keep that in mind. What I wanted to establish here were some basic principles and strategies on soloing and ultimately taking down Crawmerax as a Siren class. This strategy MIGHT house some mechanics to use for other classes however this particular character is the only level 61 I actually felt like pursuing despite dabbling in the other classes. Something about the SMG proficiency about the Siren class that just peaked my interest...

LOADOUT:
Weapon 1 - Double Anarchy x4
Weapon 2 - Double Savior
Weapon 3 - Combustion Hellfire
Weapon 4 - Static SMG
Class MOD - Mercenary Class Mod (It's GOTTA SMG have ammo regen!)
Shield - Alacritous Rose (prized this off a prior Crawmerax kill. AWESOME shield!)

What was your skill tree like for this?

[Aardcore]

@claracarbonara Wow that's a good question, I hadn't thought about what my skill tree was in utilization for this; I'll get back to this as soon as I can. Haven't booted up Borderlands in a while now, haha!

Want to play with me sometime? Im a lv26 siren right now, I played it on PC as a 61 soldiers and 61 siren but my pc got hacked.

[Aardcore]

@rysha101 How on earth did you get hacked?

[HusaneFata1]

I'm curious about your shield choice it seems to be a pretty low value capacity everytime I kill crawmerax I find shields with almost 500 more capacity. Is it simply essential to have such a high recharge rate with that particular tactic you use on crawmerax?

[Aardcore]

@HusaneFata1 Furthermore, about the recharge rate, yeah it's sort of a big deal, at least with me it is. The high recharge rate increases your chances to survive. It's like, if you have a shield that's 500 capacity higher but the recharge rate isn't ratio to it, it kind of defeats its purpose. Even at 300 recharge rate you'll just be getting by but with a high recharge rate you can guarantee that when you get hit, your shields will return much much quicker than you'd expect. Survival!
