Starting off with Roland. What skills should I stick max first?
Does he have multiple play styles or is it just, drop a turret and hide?

I guess that would be the obvious thing.

Im just trying to get opinions from all over.

Drop-a-turret & hide method is for people who like to nap while they play. Turret is definately a good thing to use, but pop out with a shotteh for those who get to close, so max the shotty damage skill, and some medic skills. As far as order of maxing, idk.
