Best relic for melee krieg

[chickenchaser97]

Someday, I want to play an entirely melee based krieg, blood guts and everything, but should I do a tenacity relic, or an explosive relic, or a fire BoA...? I think a strength relic would be overkill, but I wanna hear your thoughts.

Melee relics add a negligible amount of damage to the formula and are pretty much useless.
You don't need CDR for a proper melee Krieg because of "Release the Beast" which usually is the main source of damage, making the BotA redundant.

I prefer to healthstack with a Blood of the Ancients and a Rough Rider. More health makes you more durable and helps negating self-inflicted damage from StV.
I prefer to have a Blood with + Pistol and + Shotgun ammo.

blood of the ancients, imo

Light the fuse gets weak on the op levels, you can put that point better in redeem the soul for +50% FFYL time

i'd swap out "Light the Fuse" for "Redeem the Soul", just so you can have the extra FFYL time

that's my Melee Krieg
Leg. Sickle + Rough Rider + Blood of the Ancients
