Hellborn K suggestions

Borderlands 2 Krieg the Psycho
#1

Yah, this one is serious. I’ll take him through OP’s and things like that.

Cut to the chase, I’m dying a lot, since I’m used to Mania/Bloodlust K. Should I rely on Elemental Elation?
Is there some way to make him more resistant to damage?. All feedback is welcomed, as always
Probably is there a better build than mine, since I already said, I almost play Bloodlust-Mania

Weapons: 60 Slagga, 65 Hellfire, 67 Corrosive CC, 66 Fire CC
Gear: 64 Rough Rider, 64 purple Stockpile relic (AR+SMG+Shotty), 65 Storm Front, 67 purple Power Toast.

Salutations burning guys.

Huh, I find I die less with a melee/Hellborn build… Here’s the Melee/Hellborn build I use at level 72 OP0 when I farm the Badass Tina CoS. I use it with a slag Tattler (your Slagga is probably better for slagging), a Flakker, and a Legendary Torch com. I have a really hard time dying with this build.

You need to at least max out BBB. The more Burn Damage you can generate the greater the healing. Since you’re going with the Rough Rider no reason not to take Embrace the Pain for that constant +35% fire rate. I’d also get a Vitality relic or Blood of the Ancients on for health stacking. You absolutely need that buffer.

BBB is…?, haven’t learned all acronyms yet xD

What about getting a 72 Blood of Seraphs?
Ok, going with that point to Embrace the Pain.

#5

Burn, Baby, Burn.

Also, a Rough Rider and a Vitality relic are in my build. Forgot to mention.

I use this with a L. Torch com. Primary weapons are elemental Butchers in three slots and a weapon of choice in the 4th. Slagging is done primarily by a low level slag Bouncing Betty and restocked by a Magic Missile grenade mod while the shield is the RR…

Well, just to let you know. Running DP with this buddy. Borrowing stuff from my backpack chars.
Died twice, in OP1 to 2 and OP4 to 5. Errors mainly, but goes well by now.

If you want to focus on hellborn, forget about melee, go gun crazy instead.
Bloodlust:
5 pts each to blood fueled gun and twitch
5 pts blood bath.
Mania:
Feed the meat 5
Embraced the pain 5
Strip the flesh 5
Salt the wound 5
Hellborn:
BBB 5
Fueled the fire 3
Numb nerves 5
Pain is power 5
Elem elation 5
Elem delusional 1
Flame flare 2
Elem empathy 5
Retribution 1

shotguns are best cc is great, blockhead, omen
Hellfire is.great, plasma casters
Rubi and grog.
Bones of ancient best.
Rough ride is great
Try to farm a leg reaper as plus 5 blood bath on top of 99% kill skill duration is unbeatable.
Fire and cor are his best elem for dps and healing.
This build at lvl 72, you are godlike, at op8, you seldom ffyl. highest dps for gun crazy krieg.
The trick, proc blood bath often. Leg reaper is key.

I ran DP a Bloodlust-Mania with a Reaper long time ago. Was quite badass.
To me is important to max BL stacks so I can wipe huge mobs in a second (with Bloodlust/Mania)

Found a tubby now I’m using a Legendary Torch.

UPDATE 1:
Yeah, Hellborn K noob got wasted like 5 times xD
OP6-OP7

It seems I need some buddies…

UPDATE 2:
Answering to myself. Beat OP7.
This guy is OP8 now after whole freakin morning.

Now beat OP8. This may take a while.

UPDATE 3
Update on this stuff. OP8 Beaten.
This buddy is OP8 now officialy.

Ok, reading Top Gear for K… suggested the FoTFH.
Should I replace the RR for this one?

@Giuvito @Gulfwulf what do you think?

#13

Only if you want to be generic :P.

#14

too repeated you mean?

#15

Way too repeated. Off-forum, it appears that almost everyone has it in their mind that Hellborn can only be played with a FotFH. :confused:

#16

I don’t think it either.

#17

@BookEmDano uses a RR on his melee/hellborn and says it’s pretty tanky so I don’t see why you couldn’t swap the FotFH out with it. I like the RR on Krieg, especially in the OP levels. The Hawk is nice, but if you’re already doing a lot of elemental damage, you really don’t need it.

#18

I’m using a RR now in my hellborn K.
Well, I ran DP with it. Just yesterday ended OP8 with the RR.

#19

You da man!

How do you deal with the flood of Assassins in OP7?

#21

BXR with the guys being slagged. Used the same strategy the whole run.

RATATATATATATATAT with the Slagga, then I’M LOSING BLOOD, GIMME YOURS. Profit SALADS.

After you ask Giu, yes, I have downed myself with StV.

#22

Congrats on op8’ing with a melee-psycho and even more if using a hellborn-mania spec, op7 was the farthest I’ve got without resorting to bee-pimping/hawking to speed up 50-minute long solo runs…
