Claptraps action skill is terrible

Going melee when Dahl fighters are in the air,spawning the stupid rubber ducky when enemies are across the screen,and last but not least firing non stop with funzkering,why?

Funzerking with tediore weapons is the craziest most awesome thing.

Try it with 2 Jackobs snipers.

You will look up right away for no reason.

I've only played with a claptrap as a teammate, but there have been only like two times I've ever been impaired by the random action skill. It was actually One Shot Wonder, not Funzerker (Funzerker's effects can be cancelled by just constantly swapping weapons if you're a giant baby).

Rubber Ducky just means buttslams, rocket launchers, and grenades all around. I know getting the Unicycle with flying enemies around can be a ♥♥♥♥♥, but just buck out and find somewhere to hide for the duration if you can't make use of it. I mean the game tells you what Claptrap does before you even unlock the action skill. It shouldn't be a big surprise by the time you get to Dahl Fighters.

Also it's a way to more than double your boss kill speed.

I love his action skill. Clap in the box sucks, but you can simply not unlock it. Meat unicycle sucks. Blight bot is a little underwhelming because its damage scales so badly, but it has no downside (and music that alone makes it better than the other classes' action skill).
But other than these 2 it's amazing. Really strong, and really fun.

Being able to not fire while Funzerker is on sounds like an oversight that should be fixed xD

Acutally, Its pretty Awesome, you just have to learn the patterns and know when to pop it. Not only that, but it comes with a Full Heal and Sheild recharge as well. Things like Gun Wizard, Shhhhhhhhhhh...trap, the Miniontrap are extrememly useful, where rubber ducky and Mechromagician, while situational, can be pretty awesome.

In Fact, Meat Unicycle, Clap-in-the-Box and Funzerker are the only real "Useless" ones.

Bang on the money there.

One shot one kill is annoying as hell and mechromagician gets me down more times than i can count.

How the f*ck do you manage to get killed by health regeneration and more damage?

Because it doesn't help if i can't hit the enemy right in front of me due to mechromagician' s accuracy debuff and one shot one kill does not benefit lazer weapons much.

The accuracy debuff of mechromagician isn't even that high though. Sniping becomes next to impossible, but other than that I never had any issues with it, and it even gives you bullet ricochet.

Considering the damage bonus is approximately 300 or 400%, that seems like a very small disadvantage.

One shot one kill on lazer does not work i guess due to a bug or developer oversight. And try using the shredifier with one shot you be hitting every thing but the target. It'll be a MADHOUS! all over again.
