I am becoming a Fish Slap convert

Why use Vampyr and a CMT to regen health in a dozen 2,000 point chunks when you can now toss one Fish Slap while using a Knife Drain artifact to immediately recover 75% of 400,000+ damage dealt? I am finding that this works extremely well on deathless builds that have more than 100,000 shield health.

One word. Rubberized.

Sometimes it’s amazing, sometimes it sucks.

True, but since you don’t have to throw it as frequently, it is easier to avoid.

It’s not just about avoiding it. You can throw it at a group of targets in a small map and 50/50 it’s going to destroy them and bounce all over them or hit them once and ■■■■ off to a corner.

#5

Yeah, you can’t treat it like a CMT – you have to throw it at a specific target.

#6

It helps to add splash radius or TCP. That way you don’t miss.

I think fish slap should have worked like a fastball.

I found a 3x roid shield and made a fish slap only build, it liquefies enemies, but a stray grenade will put Moze in FFYL in one hit. The bouncing is pretty annoying.

You can make a pretty good Rocketeer turret and punch build though. It actually makes me want GBX to add a Melee fist-launcher.

Given that DLC4 is about Kreig I could see a Bloodsplosion melee launcher happening. Maybe a Torgue scourge clone. Hopefully not a COV globetrottr clone.

I’m aware. I just saying the repeat bounces could either hit a target or so go into the corner. Even on a small map. It’s 50/50.

#8

because cmt basically a auto heal??

#9

I know – I was just commenting because I think the CMT’s “fire and forget” nature has encouraged some bad grenade habits within the Moze community.

If only the Fastball was like the BL2 one. I wish I could have Pull the Holy Pin on my Axton.
