Krieg crunch mod worth it ?

[Crixus]

A lot of people reccomend the crunch class mod with krieg for the high explosive damage bonus but why ?

If I was using a DPUH it would be good but wouldn't bloodbath be better ? Getting 500% weapon damage seems better than say 80% explosive damage unless I'm not understanding how they work. And yeah bloodbath can be tricky on some fights but I'm talking about the ones where you can have it up 100% of the time.

DPUH doesn't guarantee Bloodbath though. Unless you're using a weapon that processes Bloodbath 100% of the time, the Flesh Crunch mod (blue variety) is your only way of maximizing your explosive damage.

It's quite easy to aim below a weaker enemies feat since the spash damage activates it. Plus I use flame of the firehawk and raving retribution. Anything with adds means I have a 100% uptime.

But still the extra 250% weapon damage even if it wasn't on all the time still seems better than the 60+% explosive damage you could get. And a mod like the reaper gives pretty good benefits too. The crunch mod giving bonuses to blood trance and taste of blood is useless.

I was just wondering if I was missing something. I mean it's a decent mod but I just don't see why so many people say it's bis when using explosive weapons. There is much better choices.

You're describing a situational use of Bloodbath with FotF. With FotF you don't even need the DPUH or any weapon to process Bloodbath against weaker enemies.

The Crunch mod is recommended for those players who go the mania/bloodsplosion route and focus mostly on explosive damage because they don't have the easy option of getting free procs via FotF.

My friend plays as Krieg, and some of the perks you can get for him are a bit overpowered to me. If you were looking for that, then yes, get the add on content.
