BL3 Skill ideas

So, I couldn’t find a post suggesting ideas for new skills in the skill trees of the various vault hunters. Ideas to fill a niche that’s missing or to add synergy somewhere. Just say what VH it’s for, which skill tree it would fit best (if any) and what the skill should do. Bonus points if you can come up with a cool name, too. =]

VH: Moze
Skill tree: means of destruction
Skill name: splish splash
Effect: for each enemy damaged by a single instance of splash damage, the damage is increased. So, like the “link” modifier on grenades, but for all her splash damage.

VH: Fl4k
Skill tree: pet mastery
Name: Foaming at the mouth
Effect: scoring a critical hit on an enemy issues a free attack command on them. You pet also gains a stack of Rabid, which grants them increased movement speed, attack speed and reduced attack command delay (the time between issuing a command and the pet doing it). However, the pet also takes additional damage from all sources, while Rabid. All stacks are lost if the pet is downed.

well the problem is
4th skilltree is already out (had some suggestions) and they pretty much fked it up xD
and now you can’t really add new skills to the trees
so just for fun, ofc, but not with a realistic outcome

Ah, I’ve been brain storming something like this for awhile.

VH: Amara
Skill tree: Brawl
Name: The Best Around
Effect: Amara gains increased Gun damage, Splash damage, Melee damage, Max Health, Fire Rate, Weapon handling, and Reload Speed.

Activating Phaseslam, Phasecast, and Phaseflare doubles her bonuses for 12 seconds.
(5/5)

Oh, I know. There’s loads of skills that don’t work properly and whole skill trees that need a massive rework, plus gearbox seem to have their own ideas about “balance”, so there’s no guarantee our ideas would make it into the skill trees, but if they ever do get around to fixing stuff, it might help to have players point out what’s actually missing from the skill trees. So they don’t add new skills that aren’t needed or ones that mess other stuff up, like with some of the 4th skill trees skills.

What would I do for that skill <3
The healing doesn’t have to be that high
But it would be fun as hell to build around it lol
