Raving retribution is coded as grenade splash so it gets boosted by Fuel the Rampage, that’s why it hits so hard sometimes. I didnt realize how bad pain is power was though holy moly. 😂

[@mrtx01]

I'm glad you clarified that because info online is scarce at best. I always just used pain is power assuming it gave more damage than slapping them with a piece of paper, I will probably never use it again on any build ever

@lucas89937, no1: krieg is the conductor of the poop train (refer to his promo trailer if you don't know what this means)

[@Eyalane2]

The fire rate on the buzzaxes is insane! I dont really play Krieg but now I want to finally get him to lvl 80!

[@mrtx01]

Vladolf brand buzzaxe. Good luck, he's the most fun character Imo so I hope you get to enjoy him as much as I do!

[@lucas89937]

This is amazing. This was what i always wanted to use but never found a guide to! I love it

[@SmubFinger]

I love that you demonstrated the build at the end instead of just explaining it

[@mrtx01]

Actions speak louder than words 🧠

[@BlackAxon]

Great build and demonstration. I've never been a huge believer in Mania+Hellborn builds especially in the OP levels. But honestly you've convinced me that I might just have been biased.

[@mrtx01]

Well to be fair, I never really believed in it either but recently I've learned that it's definitely very powerful! Thanks for the nice comment! 😄

[@TheAlllstar]

Dude is just running over mobs like crazy. Great vid, I'll have to try this one. I'm not too surprised that many people aren't spec'd into Hellborn but I'm glad you made this video about it!

[@mrtx01]

It's crazy how many people think that melee krieg doesn't work in OP10 or even just UVHM. He absolutely stomps the game for the most part. Thanks for your comment and your kind words!

[@KoolNaide-69420]

Love to see somone actually updating bl2 builds, ive been a bl3 stan most of my time in the series, and after coming to bl2, im so glad to have recent and detailed guides for my main so im not left wondering if the builds are still viable/have been changed via patch, also great quality, ty bro :D

[@villi6965]

Krieg build with out bloodspolosion, I’m speechless Love the content man really enjoying it and seeing your videos got me back into borderlands after years of not playing👆🏽

[@mrtx01]

Thank you, I really appreciate it! I'm glad I can bring some people back to this great game!

[@GuiOliveira21]

thanks for the vid, Hellborn is one of my favorite builds and melee is like a cherry on the top

[@mrtx01]

I agree, I just wish melee Krieg could get away with using the Flame of the Firehawk, that would take it to a whole new level!

[@KyXnline]

18:02 I'm glad you brought this up because after 7/8 max level Kriegs I have also been under this misconception. I always heard people say to avoid roid because of StV, and took their word for it. But after seeing a comment on that video I tested it myself for the first time. Kind of blew my mind how many people said how bad it was when it seemingly wasn't well tested

[@alphab01mcoc83]

Kreig is very much out of my comfort zone, mostly because his action skill is melee plus the Helborn tree makes me nervous because of the whole being on fire thing. I have played Krieg a little, but only in Normal mode to see how fast I can get through it on every character.

[@mrtx01]

You need to swap off axton and hop onto your krieg arc. I trust that you'll enjoy it! But at the same time you don't like mustard so...

[@e3k701]

Personally I like using the health relic, because it'll save you from StV and OP10 enemies just hit hard. If one chooses not to spec into bloodbath to regen grenades, I think the Fire Storm is a good option as it regens by itself and is decent (although not the best) at creating stacks. For the Fire Storm, i find a lower level one from Normal Mode to be more consistent, as it won't kill enemies and stop creating stacks, and you won't accidentally down yourself, but a high level will take out some enemies and weaken more powerful ones.

[@e3k701]

A higher level Firestorm in some instances might be better, like hard to reach enemies, some pesky flying enemies, distant enemies and just weakening bosses/badasses.

[@mrtx01]

I don't know how I didn't even think of the Fire Storm, I can only imagine that would go super well with this build! I really like health relic too, but with this build and elemental elation, the super speed throwing axes is just too fun to take off the sherrif's badge for me. Thanks for watching and thank you for the suggestions and the comments!

[@e3k701]

@@mrtx01 Of course corrosive grenades are better at building stacks, but without bloodbath, I like just knowing I won't be out of grenades :) And with Raving Retribution* and Taste of Blood, it's easy to build and keep stacks of Bloodlust and Elemental Elation.

[@cameronmackinnon5923]

I have a friend making a build like this in our current coop, super cool and surprising to see a guide for such a niche build!

[@mrtx01]

You would think more people would use this but the Bloodsplosion build is kinda just better. This build is super fun though!

[@erievanillacoffee6048]

This is the uncommon build? I think I saw it in Joltzdude that said that mixing Mania+Hellborn is not that good. I'm not sure, tho. I believe it all depends on how each of us feels confy with a built. Im rebuild my Krieg to a BloodLust and Mania with explosive damage, but never tried the hellborn before... Hellborne+Bloodlust seems amazing, but this? looks how fast he is shooting buzzaxes!! xDD I love this! Thanks for this video, i like how you compare with different items and show differenes. Didn't know that about Pain is Power :00! What a downgrade

[@mrtx01]

I didn’t realize how bad Pain is Power is until this video, BIG drop in damage. I think a mix of Mania and Bloodlust is the better build but Hellborn is just so fun. Fire balls shooting everywhere plus you get insane buzz axe speeds. I feel like its hard to trust anyone who says something is bad in this game, so many things are better than people say and so many things are just plain fun even if they aren’t “meta”.

[@KyXnline]

I was really curious if this kind of build would be usable, so I might give it a shot! Have you tried putting those last 4 points into 4x Elemental Empathy 1x Thrill of the Kill? I feel like your dots this late in the game that it'd actually be a lot of extra healing (Based on your dot ticks in this example, anywhere from 40k to 90k healing per DoT tick at 4 points) + melee Krieg is bound to get enough overkill to full heal w/ Thrill on basically any melee build. I'm curious if that extra sustain is as good as it sounds on paper

[@mrtx01]

My reason for not using both of those could be considered a skill issue XD I find that I consistently get screwed out of release the beast since I’ll just barely heal up out of RTB range and so I end up doing a normal buzz axe rampage. Also since you full heal on kills in buzz axe rampage, thrill of the kill would be entirely unnecessary. However if you were a better player than me, elemental empathy could probably go hard while you’re in buzz axe rampage to help keep you alive

[@KyXnline]

@@mrtx01 Honestly that reason makes sense! I didn't register the skill healing when I wrote this for some reason. But yeah, maybe a partial spec into fuel the rampage could help make up for those instances (instead of specing thrill) I'll definitely test this build out and see!

[@michaelhall5801]

With the increased survivability from numbed nerves being up all the time, could a roid shield work here? Being on fire all the time will keep the shield down especially with all of kriegs increased to recharge delay. And if you are mostly throwing buzzaxes then the odds of downing yourself are low

[@mrtx01]

I definitely like that idea! A Hide of Terra would also perfectly fit the theme of this build since it's a fire nova and spike shield as well, additionally roid damage applies to thrown axes which this build is all about!

[@lucas89937]

Would u do more guides for him(for nomal weapon bloodsplosion build and so)? Specialy his fire version with the hawk shield. Always wanted to do that one too🙏🏻 but everything is so outdated

You are single handedly giving me inspiration to make more krieg guides! I'll try my best!

Hey man what's up I really hope you answered me is Greek is very good against raid bosses because I came from Borderlands 3 I finish almost everything there Amara melee it's completely busted and you can go through red bosses just like butter but I don't know about him if he's like her or not if it's not which vault Hunter do you recommend to level up and go through Op levels thank you

[@mrtx01]

@@IsmailKiko I haven’t played Amara much so I can’t say how similar they are. Krieg is a very very fun character that can use melee or guns very effectively but can’t kill raid bosses very well. Personally I’d recommend Maya or Axton to go through the game with but all of the characters are good and fun. Salvador will be the easiest and most powerful though

[@IsmailKiko]

[@St4rkiller04]

Me personally, I would put the 5 points into elemental empathy rather than burn baby burn, because it is even more survivability. You could maybe use a flame of the firehalk and then a blood of the ancients to give yourself more health. Other then that great build 🫡

[@mrtx01]

I think Elemental Empathy would be really good, but it always heals me out of RTB range and screws me over because I'm bad. I would really really love to have the flame work but even when using a 58% health relic, I have less than half the HP of just using the rough rider with a sherrif's badge :( I bet that would work really well in everything except the OP levels though!
