Mechromancer
The class name of "Mechromancer" is clearly a nod to the common Necromancer classes or abilities in many RPG games. It is also interesting that her action ability is similar to summoning. She summons a robot called "Deathtrap" which is very similar to the Void Walker, a creature that could be summoned by Warlocks in World of Warcraft.

- The Skill tree Little Big Trouble may be a reference to Little Big Planet on the PS3.
