Borderlands 2: Best Build for Mechromancer
Gaige the Mechromancer
Why? Because the Mechromancer class just has so many great skills that you have to neglect points in a couple of spots in order to reach others. Gaige just has so much flexibility after all.
This build can easily be modified depending on your personal preference. And remember that using class mods can help you fill in the gaps left behind in some areas.
I'd like to mention that this build still provides high damage per second (DPS). It doesn't have all the elemental damage perks from the Little Big Trouble skill tree. Additionally, this build still gives power ups to your sidekick Deathtrap so that you two can duo well. Since this is an Anarchy build, a lot of points were put into the "CLOSE ENOUGH" skill to help counter the reduced accuracy. This will help you take potshots and actually hit enemies still, as well as make it easier to come back from FIGHT FOR YOUR LIFE -- so you don't have to worry as much about dying now. To further enforce the great solo abilities of Gaige the Mechromancer, 1 point was put into BLOOD SOAKED SHIELDS so that you can utilize your shields for more protection.

Conclusion
When additional DLC / downloadable content is released, then even more skill points will be at your disposal so you can fill in the gaps where needed and even finish skilltrees if desired.
But until then, you must spread it out a bit more.

This skill, in my opinion, isn't very well thought out. This is because you have five additional levels after you have done this build, so you could of finished this, or finished the trees. My Mechromancer Build, bearing in mind I am now level 53, is I have fully completed the 'Best Friends Forever' Skilltree, I have added one point to the 'Anarchy' Skill on the 'Ordered Chaos' Skill tree and have added some points to the 'More Pep' Skill on the 'Little Big Trouble' Skilltree.

You invest four points into Nth degree, but you don't max out Close Enough? Are you mad? Every point past the first one in Nth Degree only adds like 1-2% damage. Marvel at this math:
Every ninth attack doing twice as much damage means you do 1/9 additional damage. That's 11%. Now, with four ranks in the skill, every sixth attack does twice the damage, meaning you do 1/6 additional damage. Which is only like 17%. So three ranks get you 6 additional percent.
Meanwhile, one single more rank in Close Enough would get you... well, another rank of Close Enough. Really seems mad to me not to just do that.
