Krieg Explosion Build Tips

[Karsk]

I'm looking to have a ranged krieg explosive build that largely ignores melee. Getting a mod that gives a 10/5 in Strip The Flesh and a explosive or Torgue relic.

Can anyone give me some tips on how to build him out I am currently leveling Krieg at lvl 17

At level 17, builds don't really matter, whatever gear you have will become useless really quickly. You are better off waiting until you are a much higher level, and have consistent gear.

Just save this for future reference:

Go for a blue rarity flesh crunch class mod, that will give you +6 strip the flesh the other two skills would boost melee so doesn't matter which you get, but if you decide to go hybrid then go for taste of blood, instead of blood trance.

Skill build (Hybrid Explosive Krieg):

Go for the explosive relic, because you would want to boost ALL explosive damage not just gun damage (especially bloodsplosion damage).

If only it didn't take so damn long to get through normal mode lol
