I Can't Wrap My Head Aroung Krieg HELP!!!

[kevin.benko]

I have played Krieg four times through, and completing, Normal mode.
Yet, I cannot "wrap my head around" the character.
I dislike Krieg, and yes, I can kick @$$ with the buzz axe, but I still cannot really figure him out.

Can someone help me to convince me to appreciate Krieg?

When I play as Krieg, it is just tedious to me.

HELP!!!

Well if you think krieg is tedious in melee spec into a hellborn krieg without a FoTFH sheild if you don't want seizures

This is my HB bulid with a rough rider sheild and I think this is alot more fun than going around with a buzz axe and a lot more deadly

This is like the best way I can convince someone to play krieg so hope you enjoy

HAHAHAHAHAHA, using a Logan's Gun? well now, and I thought i've seen everything

It's rather important to focus on either melee or guns.
His middle tree strongly enhances his melee damage and has the most synergies with his action skill.

His right tree focusses on elemental damage and the most left tree gives you a bit of both and I consider it to be a secondary skilltree to either Mania or Hellborn focused builds.

A lot of his skills only work in specific builds or at a certain level range.

As a Psycho pretty much all of his playstyles are very chaotic. You want to rush straight up to enemies and take a lot of risks like self-inflicted damage from melee or by putting DOTs on yourself. Taking these risks will often reward you with a lot of buffs.

How do you want to play your Krieg? How did you spec him until now and what items have you been using?

Use this to post your build and maybe get into some more detail what exactly is causing you trouble.

Logan's gun is a monster with krieg I might not be OP8 yet but when I do i bet the Logan's gun will be pretty good at op8 mr.flexington :> and also i like to be different with my weapons than use the norm as that can be repetitive and boring using a Logan's gun made me fall in love with the underrated pistol but it's weird to be different huh? Haha

It's not underrated it objectively sucks and here's one of the main reasons why:

It can't damage an enemy directly, its projectiles have to hit a solid surface.

On top of that it has a laughable base damage, can't crit and has a poor firerate.
It is pretty much unusable on most of the characters.

Well yea but with krieg or zerker it can do pretty good despise it's cons krieg can boost the damage of this gun pretty well

Yea sure it's not underrated but I like it even though it has a sh!t ton of negatives which is yes it sucks with most expect for 2 characters

As an aside, in conjunction with a Sham (or any absorb shield), the Logans Gun will "recharge" launcher ammunition.

Well that's the only benefit but a low lvl launcher and a sham will do the same and faster if you're rocket jumping everywhere with fleet Maya

one word
EXPLOSIONSSSSS

OK.
When next I attempt to play/enjoy Krieg, I will, eventually, work on the "Hellborn" tree. I will probably do that when I move into TVHM. And I will report in the future.

Thank you for your suggestions.

And have a good game!

No problem

OK... an update.
I am about to start Krieg on UVHM.
I think I may have "wrapped my head around" him.
We will see what happens.

*: On normal mode, I tried to attach the constructor ("a dam fine rescue") directly once. Never more. It was worthless, but if I throw my buzz axe (which I call @$$-masher) it works far better for me against EVERYTHING. It is far slower, of course.... trade offs, ya know.

*: Prior to starting UVHM, I respeced into HELLBORN tree, in part. We will see what we will see.

While it's a bit late now my way to start up Krieg is to go down the Bloodlust tree and use a combination of elemental weapons and strong multi-barreled shotguns for high burst damage. Getting 7/5 in Blood Bath via a Blister COM gives enemies a 100% chance to drop a grenade when killed with grenade or explosive damage. Combined with the stacks of Bloodlust Krieg is a beast in Normal. Certain weapons that count as dealing grenade damage, like Plasma Casters or the Teapot, can give him infinite grenades. It's silly.

[kevin.benko]

I am full up on "Mania" and am now working on "Hellborn".
The capstone on Mania is pretty good.
While the capstone on "Bloodlust" is damn good, I do not like some of the lesser skils.
