-Best pet :
gunslinger jabber : he’s the only one that can reliably proc furious attack without aggro relief, and bonus move speed is a huge qol.
spiderant scorcher : with its regen and one point in BFF the pet won’t ever die, and the bonus elemental damage is multiplicative with everything else.

-Best skill tree :
Hunter for obvious reason : all the skills are top tier / top tier in niche situations (two fangs).

-Best skill :
Megavore without any hesitation.

-Best class mod :
Cosmic stalker for mobbing.
Bounty hunter for bossing.
Stackbot in some specific builds.

-Best grenade mod :
I’m not gonna talk about the fish slap since this ■■■■ shouldn’t exist in the first place (it’s only op because of broken mayhem scaling and groundbreaker).
Probably the hunter seeker to proc megavore and headcount.

-Best weapon :
Monarch. But best weapons are not class specific in this game so…

-Best shield :
Plus ultra, best all around shield in the game, because the devs choose so.

-Best anointement :
Urad, consecutive hits, splash, like all other characters.

-Favorite head :
Anubis.

-Favorite skin :
Amp stamp in yellow and black

-Favorite voice line :
" I am neither man nor woman, but both deserve more respect than you do." from where you face killavolt.

-Worst pet :
Basic jabber.

-Worst skill tree :
Master, but it’s still good.

-Worst skill :
Dominance for obvious reasons.

-Worst class mod :
Rakk commander, trainer is a least good because it gives you points in barbaric yawp.

Edited the questions since I noticed that it’s dumb to ask worst weapons/nades/shields for a specific character since it’ll probably apply to all characters all the time.

I’ll post my answers a little later.

@Rabid_Explosions I think this was a good topic. Should generate some discussions and debates, which we could use some more of on the Fl4k forums. LOL I mean the TG thread exists, but that is a little more “formal” of a forum. This can be more for fun debates.

I will respond later, just wanted to say good post.

1 - Scorcher
2 - Hunter
3 - Megavore
4 - Bounty Hunter, works in nearly every build
5 - Hunter Seeker
6 - Plaguebearer
7 - Transformer
8 - URad
9 - Shaman, nothing says Beastmaster like some bloodstained bull horns. This also suits their ominous persona the best.
10 - any skin with a moving effect
11 - “Death calls me across the stars to hunt the souls of the living and send them to Her”.

1 - base Spiderant
2 - Master
3 - Dominance
4 - Tr4iner, this being a “Supremely powerful” DLC COM as Mr Pitchford promised puts it behind even the Rakk Commander IMO
5 - Fade Away accuracy and handling
6 - ? Without checking
7 - ? Without checking
8 - Any of the Guardian Takedown voicelines. . . Oh yeah, there aren’t any for some reason.

  1. Best Pet? Scorcher

  2. Best Skill Tree? Hunter

  3. Best Skill? The Most Dangerous Game

  4. Best Class Mod? Bounty Hunter

  5. Best Grenade Mod? Hunter Seeker and/or Tran-Fusion

  6. Best Weapon? Tough, maybe Headsplosion or Reflux

  7. Best Shield? Old God

  8. Best Anointment Consecutive Hits and/or Splash 200%

  9. Favorite Head? Inh4ler

  10. Favorite Skin? Caustic Bloom, Devil Raider

  11. Favorite Voiceline? With the cathartic sounds of Radiation explosions, “Death, do you see me?!” Something hits with the right sounds synergize. Another is from dlc when being shocked, “If I had a gast it would be flabbered”. Laughed too hard on this.

  12. Worst Pet? The tier 1 pets aren’t good, but Guard Skag is the worst.

  13. Worst Skill Tree? Master

  14. Worst Skill? Dominance

  15. Worst Class Mod? Tr4iner
    These 4 made me really think about Master Tree. Gee wiz. I don’t think Rakk Commander is any better, honestly.

  16. Worst Anointment Fade Away accuracy/handling. I can see the use for it but I think it’s the weakest.

  17. Least Favorite Head? Simul4crum

  18. Least Favorite Skin? Ectoplasmic and Spl4tter

  19. Least Favorite Voiceline? I’ve only heard it once so I don’t exactly remember how it went but in multiplayer Fl4k says something along the lines “This is why I hunt alone.” Which rubs me the wrong way because you have your P4ck but also hurts because pets don’t do much. Made me sour when I heard this.

1.Best Pet?
Scorcher
Worst
Base Jabber
2.Best Skill Tree?
I like the Hunter tree.
Worst
Master Tree by FAR
3. Best Skill?
Megavore. Although I really like Turn Tail and Run
Worst
Dominance. A capstone that I go out of my way to NOT get.
4. Best Class Mod?
Cosmic Stalker is probably the best all around. Although I have a soft spot for Rakk Pak, although the new DLC4 mod might be gaining traction.
Worst
Rakk Commander. Tr4iner at least has good skills.
5. Best Grenade Mod?
Radiation Mitosis Hunter-Seeker. Although I also really like Epic rarity Rad. 'nades with “Exploder, Mirv, Mirv, Mini-Mirv”, hella crazy.
6. Best Weapon?
Bangstick. I’m biased, but what can you do?
7. Best Shield?
Frozen Heart. Although I’m also partial to the Stop-Gap, Old God, and Plus Ultra.
8. Best Anointment
I think Fl4k makes good use of the 200 Splash on ASE anoint. I prefer it over the others although consecutive hits is fine too.
And just some bonus stuff.
9. Favorite Head?
Surprisingly I really like the cartel reward head like, a lot.
10. Favorite Skin?
Anything I can customize well. I get annoyed at the skins that you can’t mess with too much (color-wise).
11. Favorite Voiceline?
That one was talking Schist!
HATE
The one about Bloodletting

  1. Best Pet?
    Skaggy is best boy, of course
  2. Best Skill Tree?
    Hunter
  3. Best Skill?
    Head Count
  4. Best Class Mod?
    I’m biased to Cosmic Stalker, though I could see the case for Bounty Hunter too
  5. Best Grenade Mod?
    H-S and Piss, but I don’t really care too much. Grenades were barely affecting my mobbing so I started running Tran-Fusion just for the hell of it.
  6. Best Weapon?
    I wouldn’t know. Most top tier weapons in this game seem to be boring bullet hoses. My fav is Clairvoyance though.
  7. Best Shield?
    I’m partial to Old God although I wouldn’t call it best overall. Best for fitting my build though.
  8. Best Anointment
    Depends on gun a bit obviously but I’m partial to N2M. Gets good use between AS uses and I know exactly when it’s going to end.

And just some bonus stuff.
9. Favorite Head?
Don’t remember the names but the one with the crown and the one with the rastas
EDIT: And the default one too. I like the hood.
10. Favorite Skin?
Specced out and another one that I don’t remember the name of
11. Favorite Voiceline?
“SIC!!” and “That one was talking ■■■■”
A lot of Fl4k’s combat callouts don’t really grab me one way or the other. There’s great ones in missions but I don’t remember any from the top of my head.

  1. Worst Pet?
    Any of the initial ones really. I don’t think they should even be in the game considering they exist only to be replaced by an upgraded pet. I wish my Horned Skag would look like Guard Skag though.
  2. Worst Skill Tree?
    Master
    Mainly because GFTE is a really poorly made skill, Shared Spirit is IMO all but useless outside of Deathless builds and Dominance exists. All pet damage is additive and I’d wish there were a bit more exciting skills in there giving pets more unique abilites.
  3. Worst Skill?
    Go For The Eyes
    Not that I’d spec into Dominance but that’s mainly because I’ve no reason to go that low in the tree. If the tree itself was a bit more interesting that I’d reach Dominance I’d actually use it as it is. For me it’s not that it’s a horrible skill in and of itself, it’s just a horrible skill for a capstone for the tree that’s supposed to be about the pet.
    I know Killer Queen exists but Go For The Eyes is just makes me wonder how drunk the design team was to think that was a good idea.
  4. Worst Class Mod?
    Divergent
    Rakk Commander for red text
  5. Worst Anointment
    AC move speed

And just some bonus stuff.
6. Least Favorite Head?
Most of them feel really out of place IMO
7. Least Favorite Skin?
Neon something or another I think? The one that just makes you glow like crazy
8. Least Favorite Voiceline?
All the ones that play when pets find chests or poop out ammo. I wish I could disable them.

Oh I agree 100%. GftE is necessary to make Killer Queen work, but damn if it isn’t the worst skill to work around.

You don’t like having one melee attack to an enemy actually deal a meager amount of damage?? Just wait until they find out it’s multiplicative!!

You fellas reminded me of AC anoints. I honestly forgot these were a thing. I guess my brain blocked it out or something.

Best Pet: Gunslinger Jabber
Worst Pet: Jabber Sidekick

Best Skill Tree: Hunter
Worst Skill Tree: Master

Best Skill: Megavore - Great for Shotguns
Worst Skill: Dominance - Just don’t see the point of it, worst of it beeing a capstone skill

Best Class Mod: R4kk P4k
Worst Class Mod: Trainer

Best Grenade Mod: Anything with a ASE anoint, since I pop Rakk Attack every few seconds, now using a Mirv Hex, as for some reason they can crit.

Best Weapon: Hellwalker or Brainstormer with ASE anoints

Best Shield: Stop-Gap

Best Anointment: On Action Skill Start, activate any effects that trigger on shield break or fill. Since I use a Stop-Gap, I get a 5 second immunity to damage every time I use Rakk Attack, which is constantly.

Best Voiceline: ‘If I had a dollar for every man that disappeared in front of me, I would now have a dollar’

I started to mention the Attack Command movement speed as worst annoint, but it’s a shield annointment IIRC.

Still counts though. As well as the life steal one.

    Hunter.
