I'm sure I don't have to make a comment for most decent people to understand what I'm saying, but the build is for flesh. It DOES work for armored enemies but is much more difficult. Also, whoever said it doesn't work in UVHM reallllllyyy needs to rethink life and their eyesight. As for the OP digistruct stuff Idk what's up w/that. Probably have to make another build for that. Anyways, point is this build isn't for everything. It's for flesh enemies...that's basically it. It's not hard lol
Hahaha! That is unfortunately true, but I can't bring myself to abandon that ability. They should patch it so that you cannot hit yourself consecutively.
Its RNG man random generated number its also how loot drops work in the game that 12 percent can actually happen a lot of times in a row thx to it had silence the voices happen 5 times in a row till I got tired and switched to hellborn bloodsplosion play style.......
I'm not exactly sure why you think fixing consecutive self inflicting strikes would disorient the "balance" of Krieg, but since you're on this tangent I completely disagree with you about the so-called balance of the game. It's not a competitive multiplayer game, if I did have a 200-550% melee damage build(and perhaps I do and don't remember), I'd love it because it would suit my preference and it wouldn't affect you or anyone else. It's been a while since I've last played so I've forgotten more than I can remember about the game, but I'm pretty sure Zero can hit some pretty high numbers melee wise, which for the most part makes Krieg obsolete. In any case it doesn't matter since there are bosses in the game who laugh in derision at 200-550% damage increases. Listen the game was initially designed to be OP and diverse, giving players the option to gear up according to their preferred play style, unfortunately too many people made a fuss about gear and characters being too powerful so the developers started hacking away at the character and diversity of the game. It would have been simpler and made more sense for them to just remind those gamers of their option to not use "OP" gear or they could opt for weaker versions of the same gear. Instead they decided to weaken the game which resulted in edging out those of us who preferred the game as it was launched.
If your sick of randomly hitting yourself then throw the fucking axe Plus I only use it when low health and since you mutate you only take small self damage.
The Flame Of The Firehawk shield actually benefit you if the shields stay down. As long as it doesn't start regenerating its shields, the nova blast will just keep blasting. I'm thinking Krieg's recharge delay was designed to make the most of the Flame Of The Firehawk shield. To each his own though.
thanks a lot! even though it's been a while since my last video, I have one of the biggest BL2 videos ever that i'm doing. Actually i have three really cool ones. I've just had some snags lately :(
wow, i really appreciate the simplicity of the video. i hate how all videos i watch involve ridiculous special weapons and shields, and complicated techniques to do! you simplify it and by my opinion are really good at it. carry on man! thanks.
Personally, I enjoy a combination of Bloodlust and Mania, as I feel those have better synergy than Bloodlust and Hellborn or Mania and Hellborn. Granted I love tanking, EXPLOSIONS, and melee combat A LOT more than elemental damage (especially when you find enemies that outright resist everything but explosive, for example), so I do have a somewhat biased preference. Will agree though that Krieg is DEFINITELY overpowered. But he's meant to be because he's a much harder character to play as compared to what many may be used to. Also, definitely a fun character too to use, and the one I use the most often too.
Woollieriowa8 JUST using Bloodlust and Hellborn, yeah, that doesn't work out too well. Especially since Mania boosts Krieg's defensive side ironically enough, and he absolutely needs it considering shields to him are usually useless. What I typically did was max out Mania to get Release the Beast, then start on Bloodlust till Bloodsplosion. The last few levels I basically just got skills that I wanted but weren't as useful, like the shotgun one in Mania. Incidentally I like your Slark picture. I've picked up Dota kinda recently, and it's fun stuff (when I play with bots anyway cause, wow do people kinda suck in pubs).
Big Bad Booty Daddy I know it's a couple years too late but I'm surprised you don't think Salt the Wound is a particularly useful skill. It doesn't just boost shotgun damage but also melee and considering you'll be in he thick of fighting most of the time it can provide a big boost to your damage
This is actually the best build video I have seen thus far. You were calm and collected and gave us FACTS! Most guys come into a video and their general layout is "THIS GUY IS SOO AWESOME! Now let me vaguely explain why and then give you no stats or number behind it.
the best thing for krieg is you always put a skill point at a skill that make krieg's melle stronger and if you have a good roid shield. (the shield that will increase melle if depleted I forgot its roid or raid) every time you go into buzz axe rampage(especially if you have release the beast) you always cut through anything I mean like anything. I already try it and I 3 shot melle pyro Pete the ultra invincible.but you only can do this if you prioritize melle skill and the one that increases your shield delay(so don't put light the fuse and other that doesn't increases your melle damage and shield delay) WORK 100000%/PERCENT I SWEAR I 3 SHOT MELLE PYRO PETE THE ULTRA INVINCIBLE
i Have been in a dilemma of how to build krieg as i play through story and i have been cycling through trees for the first half but this build has shown me some things i was not sure about, and is definetly a fun build and im no longer wasting time or skill points. Great vid btw.
I just played today with Krieg and a similar build. One unlucky time I hit myself 3 out of 4 melee hits. Suffice to say I had a bad time trying to recover from that.
I've been through that as well, I freaked out big time.. I mean 12% chance and hitting myself over twice in a row is just PSYCHOTIC lol, guess it makes sense as I'm playing a psycho ;D
Totally! I'm playing Krieg in TVHM at the moment and I'm loving the Mania tree, and my current record is 4 consecutive hits in the face xD Such a psycho hahaha
I thought it was very unlikely. Until I calculated a bit. Turns out the chance for that is about 1 in 4800, but when using melee as much as a normal Psycho does (in thousands... hehe, "normal psycho"), the chances of that happening are easily higher!
***** Haha dang, I actually figured that my bloodlust mania build I'll be mostly throwing my axes and re-using my action skill fairly often with Release the Beast so I won't be that worried about hitting myself. Yeah that's true avinotion
J.D. Safeinmyrain To be honest, the massive damage bonus from Silence the Voices is worth the damage you take when you hit yourself, especially when you chain together Release The Beast modes. Sure, sometimes there's an unlucky streak, but when you don't, you're dealing heaps more damage. I also love not running out of ammo :)
Thank you! I've asked this question on so many occasions with other people and only ever got 'Oh, yeah it's a random drop.' It's awesome to know some people can be helpful.
got a question for you. during the vid you suggest after lv 40 players should not use blade weapons. is the rapier weapon from scarlet's dlc good to use or not?
If you're below lvl 61, this also works very well using Law and Order (the piston and shield from the missions in Sanctuary). This way you deal +100% bonus melee damage and doing melee damage heals you. Nice vid.
I play Borderlands 2 for almost a month by now, and in the video i saw the Psycho (Krieg) attacking quite strangely. I don't play a lot with him, but when i played, he only attacked normaly with his buzz axe. Why on the video he attacks like he's using some kind of chainsaw to cut his enemies? I must be talking shit because i don't know all of his skills, or maybe i'm seeing things. Someone explain?
Right there he's hitting himself. 2 reasons I can think of are that you're seeing him hit himself or that you haven't unlocked the last upgrade in the middle tree where you become a badass super mutant thingy
Ah, it's so nice when people who make good solid builds can show them off and not have an annoying voice and obnoxious comments throughout. You're one of the good ones.
HOW do you have 530,000 views on this video, and only 6,819 subs?! that is insane. old stuff obviously but you do a good job, it's a shame so many people come through here and don't return the favor with a sub
Dude I'd love to see more builds for the other characters! Your videos are presented so clearly, and the tips at the end always help! I'll be running this build for sure, Thanks Dude!
I was thinking about buying krieg, lookin at videos and I finally found this video, I'm definitely getting him, and you did an excellent job with the video, keep it up
I literally subscribed because of this comment. Warms the heart to see an awesome commentator replying to fans. I'm looking forward to getting to end-ish game with Krieg. Early game is kinda slow in my opinion
Callum Degabriele well I definitely recommend getting release the beast first and then work on the bloodlust tree simply bcz In my opinion it is a lot stronger then the hellborn tree and if u use the bloodlust tree effectively u will literally become unkillable
This is one heck of a informative video.Don't let no one say different.If I play as Krieg i'll be sure to look at this again,and most likely i'll be looking at it again.THANK'S ALOT,BE COOL,AND PEACE OUT BROTHER,biolianbruzer signing out.
Inflammable is pointless on him if you build into hellborn. Also, why suggest a bee? A shield that has benefits while FULL? Your shield is always going to be down, you want one with bonus amp melee or nova when depleted.
I just maxed out Mania and Hellborn, In Bloodlust, the damage reduction perk can easily be replaced by the perk in Hellborn for damage reduction to 50% while on fire and you could be in Buzz axe rampage almost all time if you choose the Release The Beast perk.
Great vid man. Thanks so much. I didn't like Krieg that much. I caught on fire, so no Bee shield. At first I thought it was a terrible idea for a skill, but after I saw your video, I decided to give him another chance. So I started using other shields and tactics. I literally ran through the Bandit Circle of Slaughter just killing guys one after another with tremendous ease. Hide of TM works best I'd say. Krieg is just so much fun to use.
thanks for your feedback man!:) and no i agree. after finishing the video...I ironically came up with a more "stable" version & even came up with an even better one after that. I'd keep overkill damage healing because it helps bolster you outside of BzAR. You don't need fuel the rampage, but I just put it in there. You can take that out for sure. But for those who cant reach an enemy or are fighting in a special situation, it really helps when things get tough & BzAR might not be best.
the story behind krieg is that he was a hero/vault hunter which is the voice in his head. he was taken and was tested on by hyperion making him this powerful person, but through the test his mind snapped leaving him in this state. the conflict between his 2 sides witch would be an explanation for that perk or skill that has a 12% chance of hurting your self when you beat the crap out of something. thats what i know
no problem man, and thanks :D yeah with the "Orphan maker" which damages yourself partially (fairly small self-damage), the firehawk can be a permanent thing no matter what your recharge delay. I was just trying to go for a nice casual build anyone could pull off, but if you don't mind the flashing and frantically running around, then definitely. It just feels "stressful" using firehawk for me. But yeah w/delay skills and orphan maker, you could hook it up :) thanks for the comment!
Just a note here. Miss Moxxi weapons have a "vampire" effect, a portion of any damage you inflict while holdin a Moxxi weapon (like the Rubi) comes back as healing. I run around as kreig with a Rubi in hand smacking people with my buzz axe and rarely go down becuase even if I don't kill, I get healed.
It does but it has to recharge to do it again. Yes, it does do it constant the first time but if your shield starts to recharge and depletes before it gets full, it doesn't do the Nova blasts.
I used to play this game a whole lot and I mained a gunzerker and never really used anyone else besides gaige at times and now that I'm playing again I'm going for krieg and I never expected him to be this good. Always thought he was underwhelming.
About the firehawk shield thing: You indeed need to charge the shield between the ending of the burst and a new one, but since you are on fire AND the delay is so large, you won't recharge your shield at all, so the bursts keep going and going until the shield starts recharging
@tube71000 quite right, definitely. But I wanted a low-stress build that monopolized on Krieg's fun factor that people could literally pick-up & play since he's so new. For other older characters ill probably be way more rigid, but this was just a test-run video. I honestly didn't think it'd do that well...
I subbed bro, thank you because i had no clue how to build this guy until now. also the rough rider shield looks like it would go really well with this class :D
I loved the vid! Your presentation is ALOT better than most others ive seen. you get straight to the point, dont hype things up too much, and are extremely informative! Wonderful job! P.S. When you said "i think Krieg is a bit OP.." I actually Giggled a bit, and said aloud, "A bit?" ^_^ hehe, he is amazingly fun tho. ^_^
Little addition BAR(action) doesn't use roid damage. IE: melee = natural+ roid numbers x bonus skills & hand (blade weapon 50% or natural bonus 77% @ 61) then (if active) BAR bonus + skill bonus x natural then packs it into 1 number
@Samurai wc for one, you're level 18. Secondly you're level 18, thirdly, the build isn't designed for level 18. I'd say invest in either all hellborn or mania. Just be sure to spec into the damage resistance skill in hellborn. It'll really help.
tried it out myself at 72 with some extra points. works suprisingly well! i do not have terra shield but i just dinged 72, so currently using firehawk which altså helps a bunch. i heal so hard i never get the chance to go into rampage! but its nice to have when your far away from enemies though! good job man!
On the note of bayoneted weapons, the Rapier assault rifle with slag is a must have for a melee Kreig. 200% melee bonus and up to x4 damage in UVHM with slag.
@Kenneth Williams heyy thanks for the comment bro :) and yeah that is true about lengthening the duration, and that's viable, but for this build, I wanted it to be fun, casual & strong. Luckily since Krieg is already quite powerful, it wasn't hard making this build & I'm sure I'm not the only one, but I didn't want to rely on firehawk, but you're right, indeed. @Chris Williams actually, you're right :) I had that in case of emergencies popping BzAR, but that's a good observation
Hey guy! First of all - Nice Video! I'll try it soon (had problems with my Krieg in higher levels because I didn't use ANY weapons (Bloodlust + Mania)). I totally forgot the Hellborn-Tree. So, maybe he becomes the OP Krieg "let's-kill-everything"-Character again. I loved it to play him. Thanks a lot :D
For those playing co-op without a Res Siren, it is absolutely essential to get Redeem The Soul skill and The Rough Rider shield from Hammerlock's DLC. Redeem The Soul will damage you equal to your current health BEFORE damage reduction. This means you can instantly revive a teammate and still be standing with enough health to activate your Release The Beast skill to recharge Redeem The Soul.
@Wolf Miler thanks :) and this video was done well before the video so it'd be a bit different, but the info is confirmed and on the wiki, so while gearbox might have changed something later (which had me scratching my head), the wiki and game's quotes & sayings say otherwise. So I think we're both pretty much right.
The bladed weapons actuaaly do increase your damage if you have a roof shield on. Because the multiplier on the weapon effects the melee Attack AND the roid, always resulting in an increased dps
I went with the mania tree first, and although you at first don't have these god-like fire powers, it is the main thing that makes him unkillable, because at the end of the mania tree, you have your overkill bonuses, your melee damage increase (which goes into buzz axe rampage) light the fuse, and at the end is a trait that turns you into a mutant badass psycho, which instantly heals you and gets you ready for your next rampage, not to mention the hulking amounts of damage. just keep slashing.
yes. the law always confers a bonus 100% to melee damage. but its combo with order is not needed if points are allocated in the proper skills as overkill damage and fire damage to enemies can provide all the healing u could ever need
Well about the Flames of the Firehawk, you are right about it needs to recharge like every other Nova shield, but unlike every other nova shield, it goes off every 2 seconds as long as your shield count is at 0. You already have a skill that adds more delay to shield duration so there's synergy to that. It's Krieg, you don't plan to use your shield health anyhow. I'm sorry that it hurts your eye because I can understand why, but for others, it could be something to think about.
Thanks for the info. From the video, Krieg looks like a boss. It reminds me a lot of Brick, like you said, who was my favorite in BL1. I think I might give him a shot, just takes so damn long to level up, maybe I will just stick it out to 50 with friends so we can plvl each other :D
my favorite shield with Krieg is the rough rider, you get 20% damage resistance from that, plus 50% from numb nerves plus another 50% from release the beast, and if you can get a resistance relic you can get another 20% to other types of damage. all that added up is about 140% damage resistance. plus with my build and the rough rider krieg has like 450,000 health.
If you're intending to have no shield for prolonged periods of time, I suggest the Flame of the Firehawk shields. They get pretty beastly on damage. Not by their stated nova damage stat, but because they burst continuously as long as they have been depleted and have not had a chance to recharge at all. If you go that route, The middle and left tree may work better, although using the right tree the nova could set folks on fire. I just prefer Bloodsplosion. Krieg has many nice combos that are...
If you want to know a cool trick with Krieg. Using the Rough Rider dlc shield the 20% damage reduction and redeem the soul skill allows him to insta res people and instead of dying he will reach the 33% hp mark priming him up perfect for Release the beast. And of course the skill with 50% hp and a vitality relic with all his damage reduction can make him amazingly tanky. Also if he has the co op damage skill Converge from Maya will affect him to. Maya makes pinatas and Krieg busts them up.
IMO, Flame of the Firehawk is one of the better shields to use with a Hellborn/Mania build. It does a continuous flame nova so long as the shield is down. With the shield delay increase skills from the mania tree, the Elemental Empathy healing from the Hellborn tree, and the ridiculous amounts of fire damage the Nova can dish out, you essentially have a never ending high damage passive ability that heals you for a ton whenever it hits. However, you should definitely avoid a burn immunity Flame.
If I was you I would use the middle then the left skill tree because on the left there's skills that increase buzz axe rampage time, adds explosions whenever you throw your buzz axe, and whenever you kill an enemy they explode, damaging other enemies.
Incorrect, the Echo recording says "now testing on subjects provided by Hyperion liaison known as ugh Flesh-Stick" They are Tina's parents and Flesh-Stick sold them out to Hyperion, hence why she has you help her torture him to death.
it does, but once it starts to recharge, it must be fully charged or it wont do any novas when depleted. any damage which cancel the shield recharge will cancel the novas aswell. so you have to make it fully recharged in order to get novas. and thats difficult when running in the middle of enemies.
@icarax24 I actually put that in the annotations to remove Fuel the Rampage :) but I'm guessing you're probably on an iPhone or mobile device, but I agree
personally the bloodlust skil tree is there for looks, except for the skill at the end and the skill that makes it so you take less damage when buzzed out
I'm sure I don't have to make a comment for most decent people to understand what I'm saying, but the build is for flesh. It DOES work for armored enemies but is much more difficult. Also, whoever said it doesn't work in UVHM reallllllyyy needs to rethink life and their eyesight. As for the OP digistruct stuff Idk what's up w/that. Probably have to make another build for that. Anyways, point is this build isn't for everything. It's for flesh enemies...that's basically it. It's not hard lol
op8 build where is it ? only 61
Do not spec into thrill of the kill, it dose not work for the axe
Rethink life? Over a videogame. U must be very young. Not that serious bro.
@@sartreplagiarizedmyunborns9104 most youtubers pin their own comments lmao
Toned down? LOL
This isn't a PVP game, nothing needs to be toned down on the playerside. You're supposed to be a badass.
Brilliantly said. I couldn't agree more.
That made me so annoyed
Salvador makes Krieg look like PG compared to grogxharold build.
David G it's just so fun to slash people in two with a fiery buzz axe and one massive arm with blood splattering on the screen
i knew it. no one can stand Silence The Voices.
the 12% is more like 40%.
Hahaha! That is unfortunately true, but I can't bring myself to abandon that ability. They should patch it so that you cannot hit yourself consecutively.
Its RNG man random generated number its also how loot drops work in the game that 12 percent can actually happen a lot of times in a row thx to it had silence the voices happen 5 times in a row till I got tired and switched to hellborn bloodsplosion play style.......
No I can stand silence the voices I use it for bad ass psycho mutant

Also maylay shields, since he's melee focused and the roid shields only work while the shield is down
Zachary Alaniz also roid doesn't work when your on bxr.
Therefore if you use roid shields always use bladed weapons
Love Thumper is nearly the best Shield if Krieg plays with explosive damage
NEVER TONE DOWN THE KILLING, NEVER!!!!
THIS GUY'S VOICE IS SO CALMING MAN FUCK. TOTALLY SUBSCRIBED!!!
Lmfao. YOU ARE TOO CORRECT MY GOOD FRIEND
I have a lvl 60 shield called Blast Proof, it has over 500K Capacity and its a Legit shield. Good for Krieg.
You have a very pleasant voice. And I can always use some BL2 advice. Subbed
thanks a lot! even though it's been a while since my last video, I have one of the biggest BL2 videos ever that i'm doing. Actually i have three really cool ones. I've just had some snags lately :(
wow, i really appreciate the simplicity of the video. i hate how all videos i watch involve ridiculous special weapons and shields, and complicated techniques to do! you simplify it and by my opinion are really good at it. carry on man! thanks.

No bloodlust:
D I S G U S T I N G
Bloodlust? DISGUSTING!!
I'm replaying BL2 and I'm following this build exactly. Nice work man. Great voice too, really calm for a guy talking about an unkillable psychopath.
Dakota Andrews hey that really means a lot :) might have to change it a bit later in the end end game but it was fun definitely
the best thing for krieg is you always put a skill point at a skill that make krieg's melle stronger and if you have a good roid shield. (the shield that will increase melle if depleted I forgot its roid or raid)

WORK 100000%/PERCENT I SWEAR I 3 SHOT MELLE PYRO PETE THE ULTRA INVINCIBLE
i got my krieg to lvl 61 earlier today, and your build (along with your awesomely calm voice :P) has earned you another subscriber.
Have u quit yt you should start uploading more if u can
i Have been in a dilemma of how to build krieg as i play through story and i have been cycling through trees for the first half but this build has shown me some things i was not sure about, and is definetly a fun build and im no longer wasting time or skill points. Great vid btw.

Good question. Honestly I'm not too sure anymore
I think you did well for a tutorial video, your voice is very soothing and nice to listen to unlike many others who make borderlands 2 vids.
why dont you upload anymore man?
If you're below lvl 61, this also works very well using Law and Order (the piston and shield from the missions in Sanctuary). This way you deal +100% bonus melee damage and doing melee damage heals you. Nice vid.

.
Could you include time stamp of where you see this in the video?
On 1:54 it's clear. I can see two animations.
Right there he's hitting himself. 2 reasons I can think of are that you're seeing him hit himself or that you haven't unlocked the last upgrade in the middle tree where you become a badass super mutant thingy
Exactly man, i don't play a lot with him. But thanks by the way, you're awesome :D
Ah, it's so nice when people who make good solid builds can show them off and not have an annoying voice and obnoxious comments throughout. You're one of the good ones.

Love your voice bro. Gonna sub
Hope to god you ain't a reject clopper. Because those things are not bronies.

wait...you play as Psycho? :D cuz your voice is like honey-pony-butterfly :D but no offence,i use this build too,works very well for me :) subbbbbbbed
This guy is actually nice to listen to and is not rude nice and refreshing
GIVE US THE 72 BUILD!!!!
Sometimes you need to use your heart to guide you through a tree or build
Callum Degabriele generally character builds are hard to piece together but kreig is very simple and very effective for mobbing
Callum Degabriele well I definitely recommend getting release the beast first and then work on the bloodlust tree simply bcz In my opinion it is a lot stronger then the hellborn tree and if u use the bloodlust tree effectively u will literally become unkillable
This is one heck of a informative video.Don't let no one say different.If I play as Krieg i'll be sure to look at this again,and most likely i'll be looking at it again.THANK'S ALOT,BE COOL,AND PEACE OUT BROTHER,biolianbruzer signing out.
Thanks! People say that a lot hahah would like to start a bedtime stories channel soon or horror story channel
he escaped from were
what your badass rank stats?
finallyanime why dont you upload anymore?
I have the love Thumper, haven't tried it yet. Right now I'm using the Hide of Terramorphous which is good to
o
if I were you, I would use the inflammable bee shield so you don't take fire damage.
....do you not understand krieg needs fire damage? lol. But i do see where you're coming from
I understand, but he take the bonuses while on fire, not from the damage he takes from it.
but the its harder to get badass rampage
Inflammable is pointless on him if you build into hellborn. Also, why suggest a bee? A shield that has benefits while FULL? Your shield is always going to be down, you want one with bonus amp melee or nova when depleted.
Inflammable shield keeps Krieg from catching on fire, keeping him from getting boosts from while being on fire, like numbed nerves or pain is power.
I just maxed out Mania and Hellborn, In Bloodlust, the damage reduction perk can easily be replaced by the perk in Hellborn for damage reduction to 50% while on fire and you could be in Buzz axe rampage almost all time if you choose the Release The Beast perk.
i have a 72 psyco and just saying ur skill tree is not the best it could be...
Jeor Mormont maybe because he doesn’t have UVHM pack 2
You did great, and have a wonderfull voice for narrating and commentating. I subbed.
Great vid man. Thanks so much. I didn't like Krieg that much. I caught on fire, so no Bee shield. At first I thought it was a terrible idea for a skill, but after I saw your video, I decided to give him another chance. So I started using other shields and tactics. I literally ran through the Bandit Circle of Slaughter just killing guys one after another with tremendous ease. Hide of TM works best I'd say.
Krieg is just so much fun to use.
Your voice is really fun to hear :P
Its so... calm and enjoyable!
And overall your videos are really good!
Keep it up my friend :)
I enjoy your opinion on this and how you're explaining Kriegs background. That's what I'm really in to. :P
thanks for your feedback man!:) and no i agree. after finishing the video...I ironically came up with a more "stable" version & even came up with an even better one after that. I'd keep overkill damage healing because it helps bolster you outside of BzAR. You don't need fuel the rampage, but I just put it in there. You can take that out for sure. But for those who cant reach an enemy or are fighting in a special situation, it really helps when things get tough & BzAR might not be best.
Glad somebody mentioned this. It's the ONLY continuous burst while depleted shield.
dude awesome vid, i knew i was gonna fill these two trees but wasn't sure exactly which skills, very descriptive thanks
Thank you so much. With this I'm unkillable even on ultimate vault hunter. I'm liking and subbing
the story behind krieg is that he was a hero/vault hunter which is the voice in his head. he was taken and was tested on by hyperion making him this powerful person, but through the test his mind snapped leaving him in this state. the conflict between his 2 sides witch would be an explanation for that perk or skill that has a 12% chance of hurting your self when you beat the crap out of something. thats what i know
no problem man, and thanks :D yeah with the "Orphan maker" which damages yourself partially (fairly small self-damage), the firehawk can be a permanent thing no matter what your recharge delay. I was just trying to go for a nice casual build anyone could pull off, but if you don't mind the flashing and frantically running around, then definitely. It just feels "stressful" using firehawk for me. But yeah w/delay skills and orphan maker, you could hook it up :) thanks for the comment!
Just a note here.
Miss Moxxi weapons have a "vampire" effect, a portion of any damage you inflict while holdin a Moxxi weapon (like the Rubi) comes back as healing.
I run around as kreig with a Rubi in hand smacking people with my buzz axe and rarely go down becuase even if I don't kill, I get healed.
You have a very calming voice. Fits well with the gameplay :)
It does but it has to recharge to do it again. Yes, it does do it constant the first time but if your shield starts to recharge and depletes before it gets full, it doesn't do the Nova blasts.
Thanks for the build! I'll definitely be trying this once I get my hands on the right class mods.
The best part is using whatever gear. I hate builds that are gear dependent. Awesome stuff
I used to play this game a whole lot and I mained a gunzerker and never really used anyone else besides gaige at times and now that I'm playing again I'm going for krieg and I never expected him to be this good. Always thought he was underwhelming.
You did a great job explaining the build! You actually made me play BL2 again!
Nice job sir! (and you have great voice for this. Clear and understandable)
About the firehawk shield thing: You indeed need to charge the shield between the ending of the burst and a new one, but since you are on fire AND the delay is so large, you won't recharge your shield at all, so the bursts keep going and going until the shield starts recharging
You can’t say thus and oodles in the same sentence guy, god damn maniac.
Ghoul Hands loll much appreciated 🏆
finallyanime I wish you would release a 72 build version of this my man.
123beserk I think you mean level 80 guide. I’m not sure this still works anyway.
Excellent video. Well structured, pleasant voice (no homo). no out-of-place blabbering and nice quality gameplay. Subbed.
your a good commentator im tired of getting yelled at when i go to a morning after kill video
@tube71000 quite right, definitely. But I wanted a low-stress build that monopolized on Krieg's fun factor that people could literally pick-up & play since he's so new. For other older characters ill probably be way more rigid, but this was just a test-run video. I honestly didn't think it'd do that well...
I subbed bro, thank you because i had no clue how to build this guy until now.
also the rough rider shield looks like it would go really well with this class :D
I loved the vid! Your presentation is ALOT better than most others ive seen. you get straight to the point, dont hype things up too much, and are extremely informative!
Wonderful job!
P.S. When you said "i think Krieg is a bit OP.." I actually Giggled a bit, and said aloud, "A bit?" ^_^ hehe, he is amazingly fun tho. ^_^
Haven't played this game for ages and wasn't sure about getting this guy but now.... THANKS :D
Little addition BAR(action) doesn't use roid damage. IE: melee = natural+ roid numbers x bonus skills & hand (blade weapon 50% or natural bonus 77% @ 61) then (if active) BAR bonus + skill bonus x natural then packs it into 1 number
@EricLinstone you mean the Rapier? That's fine. Any wep @100% or above will work
@Samurai wc for one, you're level 18. Secondly you're level 18, thirdly, the build isn't designed for level 18. I'd say invest in either all hellborn or mania. Just be sure to spec into the damage resistance skill in hellborn. It'll really help.
We have the same build and the same character customization... Wow, subbed.
I'm your 1000 subscriber!!!!!!!
Congratz bro!
Great video BTW!
tried it out myself at 72 with some extra points. works suprisingly well! i do not have terra shield but i just dinged 72, so currently using firehawk which altså helps a bunch. i heal so hard i never get the chance to go into rampage! but its nice to have when your far away from enemies though! good job man!
thanks a lot! Still fiddling with this mic stuff, but im glad it's getting better.
On the note of bayoneted weapons, the Rapier assault rifle with slag is a must have for a melee Kreig. 200% melee bonus and up to x4 damage in UVHM with slag.
@Kenneth Williams heyy thanks for the comment bro :) and yeah that is true about lengthening the duration, and that's viable, but for this build, I wanted it to be fun, casual & strong. Luckily since Krieg is already quite powerful, it wasn't hard making this build & I'm sure I'm not the only one, but I didn't want to rely on firehawk, but you're right, indeed. @Chris Williams actually, you're right :) I had that in case of emergencies popping BzAR, but that's a good observation
Hey guy!
First of all - Nice Video!
I'll try it soon (had problems with my Krieg in higher levels because I didn't use ANY weapons (Bloodlust + Mania)). I totally forgot the Hellborn-Tree. So, maybe he becomes the OP Krieg "let's-kill-everything"-Character again. I loved it to play him. Thanks a lot :D
For those playing co-op without a Res Siren, it is absolutely essential to get Redeem The Soul skill and The Rough Rider shield from Hammerlock's DLC. Redeem The Soul will damage you equal to your current health BEFORE damage reduction. This means you can instantly revive a teammate and still be standing with enough health to activate your Release The Beast skill to recharge Redeem The Soul.
@Wolf Miler thanks :) and this video was done well before the video so it'd be a bit different, but the info is confirmed and on the wiki, so while gearbox might have changed something later (which had me scratching my head), the wiki and game's quotes & sayings say otherwise. So I think we're both pretty much right.
The bladed weapons actuaaly do increase your damage if you have a roof shield on.
Because the multiplier on the weapon effects the melee Attack AND the roid, always resulting in an increased dps
I went with the mania tree first, and although you at first don't have these god-like fire powers, it is the main thing that makes him unkillable, because at the end of the mania tree, you have your overkill bonuses, your melee damage increase (which goes into buzz axe rampage) light the fuse, and at the end is a trait that turns you into a mutant badass psycho, which instantly heals you and gets you ready for your next rampage, not to mention the hulking amounts of damage. just keep slashing.
yes. the law always confers a bonus 100% to melee damage. but its combo with order is not needed if points are allocated in the proper skills as overkill damage and fire damage to enemies can provide all the healing u could ever need
It does, but the moment your sheld starts recharging, you have to let it fully charge before you can have the nova blasts again.
Well about the Flames of the Firehawk, you are right about it needs to recharge like every other Nova shield, but unlike every other nova shield, it goes off every 2 seconds as long as your shield count is at 0. You already have a skill that adds more delay to shield duration so there's synergy to that. It's Krieg, you don't plan to use your shield health anyhow. I'm sorry that it hurts your eye because I can understand why, but for others, it could be something to think about.
Thanks for the info. From the video, Krieg looks like a boss. It reminds me a lot of Brick, like you said, who was my favorite in BL1. I think I might give him a shot, just takes so damn long to level up, maybe I will just stick it out to 50 with friends so we can plvl each other :D
Smaug:" I am fire, I, am, death. Krieg:" I'm the conductor of the poop train!". My vote is cast on krieg.
my favorite shield with Krieg is the rough rider, you get 20% damage resistance from that, plus 50% from numb nerves plus another 50% from release the beast, and if you can get a resistance relic you can get another 20% to other types of damage. all that added up is about 140% damage resistance. plus with my build and the rough rider krieg has like 450,000 health.
If you're intending to have no shield for prolonged periods of time, I suggest the Flame of the Firehawk shields. They get pretty beastly on damage. Not by their stated nova damage stat, but because they burst continuously as long as they have been depleted and have not had a chance to recharge at all. If you go that route, The middle and left tree may work better, although using the right tree the nova could set folks on fire. I just prefer Bloodsplosion. Krieg has many nice combos that are...
If you want to know a cool trick with Krieg.
Using the Rough Rider dlc shield the 20% damage reduction and redeem the soul skill allows him to insta res people and instead of dying he will reach the 33% hp mark priming him up perfect for Release the beast. And of course the skill with 50% hp and a vitality relic with all his damage reduction can make him amazingly tanky.
Also if he has the co op damage skill Converge from Maya will affect him to.
Maya makes pinatas and Krieg busts them up.
Did I miss you getting a mic upgrade?! This is seriously impressive stuff - great video! The view count speaks for itself ;)
Great video! I'll be sure to watch your others as well, but Salvador is Brick's spiritual successor.
IMO, Flame of the Firehawk is one of the better shields to use with a Hellborn/Mania build. It does a continuous flame nova so long as the shield is down. With the shield delay increase skills from the mania tree, the Elemental Empathy healing from the Hellborn tree, and the ridiculous amounts of fire damage the Nova can dish out, you essentially have a never ending high damage passive ability that heals you for a ton whenever it hits. However, you should definitely avoid a burn immunity Flame.
I got to my duty station and just bought a 4k tv and an xbox one x and the handsome collection. Can't wait to get back to the barracks
If I was you I would use the middle then the left skill tree because on the left there's skills that increase buzz axe rampage time, adds explosions whenever you throw your buzz axe, and whenever you kill an enemy they explode, damaging other enemies.
I subscribed because I feel comfortable watching this video , your voice is soothing no homo
Kreig @ 61 wit the Bloodlust stacked up & the Butcher! Almost like a Infinity Shotgun!!
Incorrect, the Echo recording says "now testing on subjects provided by Hyperion liaison known as ugh Flesh-Stick"
They are Tina's parents and Flesh-Stick sold them out to Hyperion, hence why she has you help her torture him to death.
@Okihaza I'm super SUPER honored :) thanks for your support, I really appreciate it
it does, but once it starts to recharge, it must be fully charged or it wont do any novas when depleted. any damage which cancel the shield recharge will cancel the novas aswell. so you have to make it fully recharged in order to get novas. and thats difficult when running in the middle of enemies.
in the krieg intro hamerlock said he was just as fond of weapons as his fellow vault hunters
@icarax24 I actually put that in the annotations to remove Fuel the Rampage :) but I'm guessing you're probably on an iPhone or mobile device, but I agree
personally the bloodlust skil tree is there for looks, except for the skill at the end and the skill that makes it so you take less damage when buzzed out
