New to Krieg, how do I make the shiniest meat bicycle?

[sgtbill98]

I am not sure what skills to go for first, I hear talk about Melee Krieg, and Hellborn Krieg but don’t know what to do

Do you like shooting things, hitting this with a buzzaxe, or setting things on fire?

It’s really up to you - NVHM is pretty forgiving in terms of letting you explore different skills and skill combinations. And don’t forget that you can respec any time. Here’s a list of Krieg info you might find useful in terms of different approaches - just don’t get too hung up on details just yet!

I’d suggest going down the Mania tree first. It’s the most forgiving for new players.

[ChemicalConundrum (What does it all mean!?)]

I suggest Melee Krieg because it’s so ridiculously fun… a little slow till you get Release the Beast at L31. I normally start by putting points in Bloodlust actually, but then I respec later to take advantage of how awesome RTB is.

Try hellborn melee krieg then.

A build I want to share: napalm-k

1. Description Deal elemental and gun damage while doing an SUPERARCHIMEGAULTRASUPERDUPER EXTREME abuse of healthgating. This build is mostly for tanking, crowd controlling and survivality. Oh, also for COOKING PSYCHOS, SKAGS AND BANDITS. I can’t answer if this build is good for raiding since I’m quite bad at OP8 raids. 2.

Fresh off of Gaige and Maya so Smacking things is gonna be a new experience

[paulothead (AN awkward, not THE Awkward, Yeti)]

Maybe not the most popular path/opinion, but… When I started Krieg I felt the most comfortable going down the Bloodlust tree because the early game feels more gunplay driven to me, and I rocked Blister coms (blood blister once I got Blood Bath) for extra nades. I made it to Bloodsplosion by the end of normal ( FTW), and once I got to Liar’s Berg in TVHM I respecced into Mania for Release the Beast and then put points back into Bloodlust through TVHM and UVHM. The respec was an eye opener, but I felt like I wasn’t comfortable with the Mania tree until I could flesh it out at 31. If you’re unsure of melee that might be the move. This thread had a bunch of replies in it that I found helpful while I levelled and when I was ready to respec.

Edit: just read @ChemicalConundrum’s post more carefully, and it seems he beat me to it and was more concise than I was. It feels good to know that I’m not just talking out of my posterior.
