What’s your lvl cap
I got all DLCs if that’s what you mean… so OP 8.
Try both styles and see what you like. Fun is not the same to all people.

http://bl2skills.com/psycho.html#53500515054150550105155100000000000
going down to Maina tree for RtB and got Bl tree next right ?
New to Krieg so sorry for the many questions
It’s fine
I went Bloodsplsion first just becuase I was having trouble with melee but either way works fine
Edit: I do not consider myself a krieg expert
You know guys. While leveling, I changed up my build to compliment my load out.
If you guys like a lot of variation, and feel comfortable with several different methods, you need not be loyal to a single method.

He’s right I just haven’t leveled a character in a while.
This is good advice.
If it’s your third or fourth character, and you kept some of the better gear to pass down, you can almost put points in whatever takes your fancy during normal. Respeccing for a more deliberate build at the start of TVHM is good, and it’s still relatively easy to switch your build focus without getting too disadvantaged (missions with a lot of flying enemies versus stalker city might require tweaks depending on gear though.) Getting through the first half of UVHM requires a bit more thought and research though!
In normal skills don’t really matter much but if I was you as soon as I hit lvl 31 I would respec and get release the beast. I can post a simply lvl 31 build if you want me to
Would be great thanks !
Here’s what I would use at lvl 31

If staying alive is a problem than switch strip the flesh with thrill of the kill
Also guys. For the 31 build.
If you’re not finding yourself in FFYL often, then great! If you are, consider putting a point in to Redeem the Soul. That 50% FFYL time isn’t bad at all.
I would take 1 from salt the wound and pick it up
This is a pm I sent to DeepSix after he asked me about building Krieg:
I usually go Mania starting out because Hellborn and Bloodlust need a lot of points before they become useful.
I’d start with Feed the Meat and then move on to Empty the Rage. After that, put a couple of points into Fuel the Rampage if you’re playing solo or skip it and put a point in Thrill of the Kill. Move onto Strip the Flesh and drop a point into Light the Fuse (it’s better with 5/5 StF). Grab Redeem the Soul, and Salt the Wound. When you can, get Release the Beast and remove the points from TotK and FtR because they’re no longer needed. If you have a roid shield by then, add some points to Embrace the Pain to help keep it depleted.
Once you’re done with Mania, start adding points into Bloodlust. Fill up Blood Filled Guns, Taste of Blood, Fuel the Blood, Buzz Ax Bombardier, Blood Bath (can prioritize this over FtB if you’re using mostly Torgue weaponry), Boiling Blood, Nervous Blood, and Bloodsplosion in that order. Your remaining points can go into Blood Twitch or Blood Trance, though I wouldn’t use the later after True. I would stay away from Silence the Voices until you can get your hands on either a +6 StV Scream Sickle or a Legendary Sickle because I don’t think the extra melee damage is worth smacking yourself in the head at 5/5. At 10/5 or 11/5, it’s definitely worth it and you really need it for a melee Krieg in the OP levels.
Gear wise I would look for roid shields, adaptive shields, tesla grenades once you have BFG (for BL stacks), a good rage meat COM (+health and + health regen). After RtB, look for a either a sickle or a gore COM because you shouldn’t need the health regen. For weaponry, just grab whatever does the most damage. A Rough Rider is a great shield at any level, but isn’t really needed until the OP levels. If you have 5/5 EtP, I’d replace it every 10 or so levels outside of UVHM, where I’d replace it every 5 or so. All of them provide the same 20% DR, they only vary in how much extra health they provide. If you find an adaptive with more health, go with that instead.
Playstyle-wise, you’ll want to rampage whenever your shield is depleted and stay in your enemies’ faces until they’re all dead. Krieg is like an anarchy Gaige: the closer he is, the more effective he is. If you stay back, you’re going to have problems. Remember you have a ten second invulnerability timeframe when activating RtB, so use that time to get in your enemy’s face so you can come out swinging. Just don’t try to face-tank large enemies like Constructors, throw your axes instead.

I would keep StV so he can get used to it but it’s up to him
So am I the rare person that started with Bloodsplosion? I think I finished normal like this:
http://bl2skills.com/psycho.html#50502513220100000000000000000000000
I’m the same way and I’ve said it in threads before but I like to adapt to what I find while I level up.
A few god things come from this.
- I learn different ways to play
- I experience more kinds of loot
- The game goes faster since I don’t have to farm.
