I’m always switching my playstyle with Moze because I can never find the “perfect” build for myself with her. Right now I’m doing an IB-only playstyle. I have +health and Action Skill Cooldown for most of my things. The only Annointment that really affects IB in terms of damage or playstyle is this one I think. So I’ve come to ask if any of you guys have played around with this annointment and what results you have seen.
Epicenter: Using this grenade right now. Sometimes I am surrounded and will shoot this out. On M4 the damage isn’t that great but it makes everybody around my radius jump up or dodge in fear. Great CC I guess. And if this hits back at me it is fire anyway so doesn’t hurt IB too much.
Windowaker: Quickly sold this one. It sticks to the ground. Generally, I’ll shoot in place so it doesn’t do anything. It just goes off at nobody.
Surge: Huge AoE Radius. That part is really great but I’m unsure if it was damaging me with all my extra splash damage. I seemed to go down faster than usual using this grenade so I sold it.
Fastball: I mean the damage is good but I’m unsure where exactly it shoots out. I think it shoots out of IB’s feet so it usually just hits the floor or a barrier and detonates at nobody. Didn’t like it. Sold it.
That’s all the grenades I’ve tried. I found these all in vending machines. If you guys have good results with certain grenades let me know so I can farm them up. Wish I could find more but I was vendor-farming and Graveward farming for 4-6 hours last night and got exhausted. I’m going to just finish the DLC2 storyline for now.
i would try something from atlas
since you cant aim with the grenades xD
maybe a hex?

I’m surprised the Fastball doesn’t work. I once tried a Nagata (which is similar) and it was much easier to aim. Unfortunately, if you want damage, most legendaries just don’t do enough on M4. Spring Epicenter is probably the best one, but it needs to hit the target so all the spheres hit and you can’t easily make that happen in IB.
My recommendation is to keep those grenades, not sell them, in case they are buffed (we have been getting a lot of buffs to weapons recently, so I would not be surprised if some grenades are buffed), and in the meantime keep an eye out for purple Atlas grenades with the IB anointment. They don’t need to be aimed and some of them (those with some combination of Divider, Mirv or/and Bouncy) will do decent damage (and they’re valuable for Moze’s other builds as well).
Torgue Nukes also do decent damage and might be fun to try, but I’m not a fan of them since MoD can’t really sustain them by itself. (Which reminds me to try the Sapper Com with them).
Are you on PC? If so, I have a collection of BearNades I can offer to you to mess with.
Second. What is your build like? Are you running a Mindsweeper, Green Monster, or Blast Master? Something else? These things will help determine what kind of grenades will work with you and your Bear.
So. For Mindsweeper builds, you’ve got good stuff in the crit departments. Shock Hexes would be a good one to strip shields, or cryo ones to bring your enemies to a stop while also helping a little by chewing up that nasty armor. These will crit a good bit and drop grenades of their element, giving you lots of extra help.
If you’re running Blast Master, you’re gonna want something with some good splash damage. A spring epicenter or a Moxxi’s bouncing pair gets pretty up there.
Hunter Seekers are really nice if you’re willing to hold an Unforgiven while piloting Bear. It’s a bit exploity, but it’s really powerful.
The Cloning Maddening Tracker is a standard, but doesn’t offer as much utility inside of Bear as it does outside. You normally want a BearNade to cover a hole Bear has. But I have this.
Green Monster has a lot of wonky stuff going on with it, and can bestow Corrosive damage and Splash boosts to your grenades.
Again, if you answer the questions at the beginning, I might be able to help more :).
