Pimpernel Krieg Build

Even Krieg can make a good use of the Pimpernel

The build

Explanation of skills

Hellborn

This is getting hot

Burn, baby, burn: This gives more fire damage-over time, even more if you're on fire, and also allows you to self-ignite.
"I don't just want to set the world myself on fire..."

Fuel the Fire [1/5]: This one increases a lot your chances to deal elemental damage upon killing an enemy. Just 1 point because the classmod buffs it considerably.
"Also I can set myself on fire with this too.

Numbed Nerves: Damage reduction while you're on fire, which is like all the time.
"I HAVE A FIRE SHIELD."


Elemental elation: One of the key skills on the build, while an enemy is receiving damage over time, you get stacks, with a maximum of 20. Each one increases magazine size and fire rate, which comes perfect for the pimpernel. Also the stacks won't dissapear while you're on fire.
"If you don't shoot fast enough is because no one is suffering."

Delusional Damage: This one allows you to self-ignite with any elemental effect you inflict (Except explosions).
"When I put food in the fridge I set myself on fire too."

Fire Fiend: This one allows your melee hits to set people on fire, which means that you can set yourself on fire too by meleeing enemies, but the important part is that you get increased accuracy and reload speed while you're on fire.
"Gotta go fast, this is starting to hurt."

Flame Flare [1/5]: This increases the fire duration on you, and also gives a chance of re-igniting enemies, which means that, passed a time since you set someone on fire, he will get automatically another fire damage over time. As Fuel the Fire, the mod boosts this one enough.
"YOUR PAIN ISN'T OVER YET"

Elemental Empathy: This one allows you to heal by a percentage of the damage-over time inflicted to enemies.
"I FEED ON YOUR FIRE."

Mania

Still not enough fire rate...

Empty the Rage: Increases melee damage, and even more when the shield is depleted. I just spent points on this one to reach the next two.
"I CAN'T MELEE FROM DISTANCE."

Embrace the Pain: This increases incredibly the fire rate of the pimpernel when the shield gets depleted.
"If I pull faster the trigger my shield will get back, right?"

Thrill of the Kill [3/5]: This heals you by a percentage of the annihilation damage you deal, which isn't so high since it's a hellborn-based build. that's why it's 3 points instead 1.
"Your remaining life now belongs to me."

Bloodlust

General weapon improvement

Blood Filled Guns: Increases magazine size for each Bloodlust stack, which are easy to get from damage over time effects.
"More magazine, more fire to shoot."

Blood Twitch: Increases weapon swap speed based on the number of bloodlust stacks you have upon killing an enemy. Very useful for quick slagging.
"I need my other weapon.... Not that one... Neither this one... Damn where did I put it?... Oh here it is... Oh you're already dead."

Blood Bath: Increases massively the damage you deal after killing an enemy (With an explosion, a grenade or a rocket) , based on the number of bloodlust stacks you have. Very useful to take down badasses.
"Because we can't make a Krieg's build without explosions..."

Boiling Blood: Increases the lifetime of bloodlust stacks, not much more to say.
"DON'T YOU DARE TO GO BEFORE THE TEA."


Nervous Blood: Increases reload speed upon killing an enemy in a percentage based on the number of bloodlust stacks you have.
"I remember when snipers used to be reloaded slowly."

Bloodsplosion: With this build, Bloodsplosion won't kill people very often, but it's a very nice way to spread the damage over time to other bad guys.
"Your corrosion is everyone else's corrosion."

Weapons and equipment

Weapons

1.Slag Pimpernel
Obviously, this one is for slagging purposes.
Parts:

• Maliwan grip (For more elemental effect)
  
• Fire rate accesory (It's the best for even more slagging chances)
  
• Scope and stock are irrelevant, get the one you like most.

2 & 3. Fire and Corrosive Pimpernels
I love this thing.

Parts:

• Jakobs grip(More damage at the cost of the following penalties:
  Less stability: Penalty nulified by Fire Fiend.
  Slower fire rate: Penalty nulified by Embrace the Pain and Elemental Elation.
  More reload time: Penalty nulified by Fire Fiend and Nervous Blood.)
  
• Damage accesory.
  
• Scope and stock are irrelevant, get the one you like most.

4.Norfleets
I use these to get second winds and for activating blood bath to quickly kill big ugly guys.

Equipment

Shield: Antagonist
I love this shield. It has a big capacity, low delay, reduces damage from bullets, deflects them, and slags people, it's like Christmas

Grenade mod: Quasar
This is perfect to group guys to be able to hit them by the splash radius of the pimpernel. Also it usually deals short shock damage over time, which can make this grenade a fast-healing tool.
Link on the wiki[borderlands.wikia.com]
I also carry in my inventory a Fire Bee and a Pandemic, for faster healing, but I haven't needed them for now. I prefer grouping enemies.

Relic: Bone of the Ancients
Nothing much to say about those, they increase the damage dealt by one specific element.
Link on the wiki[borderlands.wikia.com]

Class mod: Legendary Torch
Even with this one increasing only fire damage, the skills that boosts help a lot the corrosive damage too. Obviously, this build will be more effective against flesh because of that direct increase to fire, but it can kill loaders pretty fast too.
