Krieg Moves

[Ganondorf]

So, I'm wondering what would be good Moves for Krieg to have. I'm already planning to get Area Attack Prof so I can attach Dynamite to my axe, and grabbing some of the cool guns from Borderlands and probably a shield. Any ideas? Also, I'll post my rejected Move below and some ideas on how to make it work.

I had an idea to create a Move which would make it painful for Telepaths to attempt to read his mind, but I could use some ideas on how to implement it as well. My original concept got rejected.

I'M ON FIRE!!!: Quite simply, Krieg spontaneously catches on fire sometimes. The effects of this move are two-fold. First, enemies attacking him with melee attacks take minor burns on each successful strike. Second, being on fire fuels Krieg's psychosis, giving him a damage increase on all attacks he makes while on fire. Of course, Krieg is not fire-proof and as such being on fire causes him damage as well.

I figured the fact that his increase in damage would be proportional to the damage he was receiving from the flames, that it might be considered as a "drawback" as per Normal Moves. I might just attempt to "upgrade" my current Buzz Axe with this On Fire caveat, rather than make it a Move by itself. I might also make a different On Fire which would simply cause damage to people who attack him and deal fire damage to people he punches.

After doing some research and procrastinating, I've come up with a few vague/brain stormed ideas to post here. While I was hoping someone else would post in this thread before I did,( because I don't believe I have ever played borderlands (1 or 2 ) some time has passed so I feel comfortable adding to this topic.

Bloodthirsty- a move that effects/stagnates the way the opponent things/moves or the efficiency of their cognitive ability.

Krieg lets out a howling battle cry, and the sound of blood pumping fills the opponents' ears. Soon as though the heart cannot pump enough air, the deafening cry has some (debuff) residual effects on the opponent.

The possible effects up for consideration:

Mind distortion/ hallucinations
Lack of coordination
Sight loss
Senses loss, sense of direction
Etc

Rampage (AoE) his hammer makes me think he is the type to be prone to berserk type moves.

A colossal swing is taken in the direction of numerous foes, the arc of impact blasts through up to three enemies, steamrolling them into the ground when hit head on.

"Steamrolling" = knocking them off guard/knocking an assailant backward, and so that they not just fall to the ground but are sort of "pushed" into it. [s]At the same time a few ribs break but that's no big deal[/b]


OR
Survival (AoE) this would be some sort of move that would cause the relentless Krieg to spree kill. (I was thinking unstoppable killing spree).

Hellfire (bursts of fire/eruption possibly from a previously planted blow from the hammer, ) is unleashed upon 2-3 of the nearest targets, (or the ones you have made a connection with) and this one causes a rib-rattling debuff effect on them.

And the fire is delivered in the same spot as well.


Lastly, on the above, here is a possible alternative.

Reformatted "I'M ON FIRE!!"

The dark flames of hellfire engulf Krieg, produced by his battleborn thirst for blood and fueled by his own soul. The hellfire with excessive use damages, and slowly erodes his flesh with simmering burns.

For (3 minutes), those who land a hand to hand combat attack on him feel the burning hellfire attach to them, in the spot that connected with Krieg.

Say a fist bounces from Krieg's chest. His fire begins to slowly climb up /their/ arm. The burning commences, and lasts for the set duration as its impact as the surface area of burning slowly grow and in this case would crawl up their arm, damaging at least the skin and mangling the muscles exposed for the longest duration.

(This move is probably best paired with a power up form)


In conclusion: Even if this doesn't help all too much, it helps tell you what you may not want from Krieg.

Buying a move that gives you a regen boost for doing damage might be appropriate. Depending on which skill tree you like.
