Leech preferences?

[squigs]

Farming for a shock leech with a 5 or more child grenade spawn, 0.0 fuse time, and longbow prefix off Warrior, but while I'm at it, anyone have a suggestion on what leech build I should keep an eye out for?

I think O-Negative dropped from Pyro Pete, is a good sub for that grenade. A little easier to farm IMO, also you get crystals!

The Handsome Sorcerer drops Leeches regularly.
The only real use for them that I have found is for the assorted DOT FFYL challenges and for the transfusion grenade challenge.
If your playstyle involves throwing transfusion grenades and then rushing in guns blazing, ordinary slag transfusion grenades will work a lot better than Leeches.

More of a substitute for a Grog Nozzle as a Shock Leech would be great for eating through shields before leeching health

Storm front + any moxxi wpn for best health gating

Chain lightning is more on demand, and arguably better, as it regens ammo and insta heals you everytime.

Not really, there are times where you'll only get 1 chain off it and only healed partially, i've had too many encounters with that before and ultimately resulted to second winding

Even one chain insta-heals you, an OP8 chain lightning does about 2 million damage. If it procs an electrocute, you just become invinsible holding a grog.

Okay, 1: Chain lightning does just under 2 million. 2: Grog Nozzling with the Chain Lightning does not make you "invisible", nor does it make you invincible 3: I'm not always gonna have a grog nozzle nor a moxxi weapon on my hotbar, the leech is just an alternative

No. It does not make you INVINCIBLE. You can deal no damage while healing constantly with chain/grog, and enough damage coming during the delay between deploying one nade and the next, you can and will still go down.

Better yet, play without any moxxi gear. Use transfusions and whatever healing your skilltree provides.

My bad, typo, and while glass cannon-ing with melee zer0, you gotta have a grog to strip shields without killing yourself, and when the chain lightning procs electrocute, I just hold the grog and stand there without going down, keeping in mind the 900k DoT/sec when it procs more than enough heals my 600k health zer0.

Maybe it's my skilltree, maybe it's my badass rank, maybe it's something else, I just prefer chain lightning with grog over storm front. Also, melee zer0 with no moxxi gear?? Hello?? I'll take a challenge, not a nuisance, thanks.

EDIT: Also, you just chuck a chain lightning to heal you once, not spamming them constantly, that is stupid. Usually works wonders in digistruct peak, especially against scorch's DoT, dukino's mom's electric balls, and assassin reeth's fire DoT

I dont melee, so makes more sense for me.
