Best blue class mod for each character?

[linux ISO collector]

What blue class mods should I keep an eye for? I play pretty much every character besides gaige. I'm starting to get +6 blue class mods and it saves time to know what I might want to keep for later rather than farm when I need them.
edit: or not just the best, but the useful ones.

breakneck banshee for siren for that +6 fleet on it i like it at least

There are a couple of Trickster mods that are useful - have a look at this page :
https://borderlands.fandom.com/wiki/Trickster
All of the characters have useful blue mods, and they are all somewhat specialised. Breakneck Banshee + Rough Rider = very speedy Maya.

Do some research, there are several per character and six characters...

Kind of a fan of Patient Prodigy Blue Class mod, on early Gaige builds. Some of the Zapper Class Mods are also slightly useful for doing "I'm Back, Shocked" Challenge.

Some of the Two Gun Zerker class mods are useful on Sal early on.

Axton : Grenadier by far

This ^^

Just go to Google and type "gearbox forums [character name] class mods". Gearbox forums have a thread for every single character, and they are made by veterans of the game, so they are very informative.

If you have Captain Scarlett's DLC you can farm the "Grendel" side mission for blue class mods, which is where a lot of people source theirs, otherwise the Snowman's chests has guaranteed class mod spawns and there around 8 at a time.

My opinion:
Salvador: monk (DLC) (chaotic evil for most dps on regular guns, true neutral for people who like broken glitches) (+6 on moneyshot, no need to say more), two gun berzerker gives long duration to the ability, allowing to spam it over and over again, hoarder is great for co-op and solo, to regain ammo.

Zero: contemptible survivor (+5 or +6 on rising shot and ambush are just great, and glass tank build is great), stalker classmod, great skills, pistol damage can be useful, rogue(DLC), can boost dps, but doesn't grant good skill bonuses, but it's still really good,

Maya: breakneck banshee (+5 or +6 on fleet makes you move very fast, immolate gives great damage increase), cat makes her very good with SMGs, nurse is very solid for co-op, healing, trickster is also top tier, warder has some use

Axton: ranger (DLC) (prefix as you like, good bonuses, also +6 on grit makes it even better), pointman (+6 on grit, also for glass-tank build), grenadier (great boost to splash damage in general)

Krieg: Blister (prefix depend on the build) Contains bonus grenade capacity, which can be useful for Krieg, Bloodbath is OP skill, but so are Fuel the blood and blood override, Barbarian (DLC), way to boost dps, when using a bee shield build or something like that, flesh crunch and toast are also awesome classmods, scream sickle is also top
tier.

Gaige: nechromancer (DLC )(can be used to greatly boost dps), anarchist is very awesome classmod, most of non legendary classmods for gaige doesn't provide great benefit to useful skills.

I could have written it better, but I am a bit lazy,.. keep in mind all of the classmods depend on what play-style you like, All clasmods mentioned as DLC are exclusive to dragon keep DLC.

@linas164 Grenadier doesn't boost explosive dmg but grenade dmg which is basically all splash (while using grenades or weapons that deal splash dmg like ravager or hornet for example). I agree it's top blue com for axton imo.

Here's a full list of the weapons that get boosted with that grenadier com

Hmm... Maya is generally my favorite.

I like to have a Cat mod, ideally a Scheming Cat, but a Killer Cat is okay too.
I frequently carry a Nurse mod, Heavenly would be my first choice on that.

If you're doing a lot of Elemental, then a Cunning Fox or a Splatter Witch could be useful.

Some people really like a Breakneck Banshee.
Some people really like the Blurred Trickster.

Don't care for the others much.

But ... those generally are just place-holders until I can obtain a Legendary Cat and a Legendary Siren.

Depends on the character and build .
Melee zer0? Ninja . Sniper zer0 ? Sniper is great. You like automatic weapons with zer0? Use a stalker/survivor
Axton . You like crowdcontrol ? Go for a engineer
You like to deal more splash damage ? Go grenadier
Veteran for raid bosses (edit) . Pointman for healthgaiting.
Gaige . I usually like prodigy, punk while leveling up, endgame i like necromancer cause i do hybrid anarchy / shock build
Krieg . While leveling up i always suggest playing him melee cause you basically need no gear and it's super effective, so my choice is the sickle of course. Playing hellborn krieg before endgame is straight up masochism
Favourite sickle is the diesel sickle with +6fuel the blood and + 5 silence the voices
I also like the blister and the flesh crunch depending on the situation, but i usually go for these 2 in specific boss fights
The pain meat is usually for exploiting healtgait
Can't say anything about sal cause i don't play him
And in the end the character i've got most experience with: Maya
Binder is awesome if you want to go to farm mutated badass varkids and you have crappy gear. It's also good for coop for the extended duration of phaselock and team cooldown reduction . Thoughtlock is usually a good option while running a binder. Great com in coop if you deal with bosses and you want to keep your bosses busy while you and your team deal massive damage. I could say a lot about that com but it's just great.
Trickster : +6 Chain reaction and +5 lifetap in case you are in a scenario where you fight mostly non bullet enemies , the perfect example is the tiny tina dlc
+6 chain reaction+5kinetic reflection = tonns of damage + bulletproof on kill, nuff said.
You can also do some crazy stuff with the +6 kinetic reflection if you have the right gear
Banshee : This com has many uses, all niche uses but very helpful
The most common is the breackneck banshee +6fleet +5 immolate for the speed bonus
And the +6 immolate for finishing off bosses
You can use it also for backdraft builds.
And it's also the best com for melee builds
Nurse : Super awesome for teamplay (not bad for solo either cause the survivability is quite crazy)
Cat com : Since on uvhm there are a lot of strong smgs that you can obtain super easy any level, a com that can make these guns even more powerful is quite good.
Best one is +6wreck+5mind's eye but if you got smgs like tattler / bone shredder go for +6 wreck + 5 accellerate
I strongly dislike the fox and the witch com. Warder can be used for some fun stuff
Hope it was helpful
Edit : forgot to mention some stuff for axton

I needed to be more clear, I meant splash by saying explosive, not the damage type itself. Just chose wrobg figure of speach.

Area of effect damage = splash = exsplosion = boom

But thanks for noticing a nonsense and letting me know

I understand what you mean and I hope it's ok I pointed it out. Naming explosive specifically in this case can be just confusing to some players. The fact that splash isn't listed on weapons cards in bl2 doesn't help but I guess such info can be easily found, now that game's been out for so long.

Thank you very much! we have similar tastes for Maya

For Zer0, I'm not sure what to use when specing the middle tree in TVHM. I've been using the COMs with rising shot/ambush but I don't feel like that's giving me much dmg. Mostly snipers Zer0.
