let's talk relics

[Diogenes49]

I have been using a pistol heart of the ancients (to boost my DPUH) op8, 39% damage boost plus ffyl and second wind boost, very good, BUT I just picked up a Torgue acc relic with 115% damage boost and it is amazing my DPUH is now OP++ and my kerblaster is actually effective. Anyone else use one of these acc relics?

Sherriffs badge is a much better pistol relic

That relic sounds fantastic for Torgue builds. Never found one as far as I know, at least not with those values.

Though I can't say if that 115% bonus is additive or multiplicative - I hate crunching numbers, this is a game and not a math exam - but if it works for you, well and good.

Depending on playstyle, I'd say the FFYL / Second Wind relic is more useful though.

You can compensate for the "lack" of effectiveness with a good build and other things, depending on that damage boost all the time seems like a bad idea, but that's just me.

Sherriffs badge is best for pistol builds.

1. You already said that earlier

2. OP says he uses Kerblaster too, so DUH the Badge only works for that one gun then.

115% Damage Boost? I think the torgue Relics only have Fire Rate, Magazine Size, and Accuracy Recovery. I have used one with the Fire Rate and Magazine Size. I think it is pretty good since I was using the Harold, the Creamer, and the Swordsplosion or Ravager.

I need to understand the sheriff's badge better, I looked at the stats and my 39% heart of the ancients just looks better ( outside of team play where everyone else has the deputy) please tell me what I am missing? Is the fire rate increase that valuable?
