first off that build you just stated is shit compared to maya with a blurred trickster and a pimpernel for mobbing the only case where a sandhawk beats the pimpernel is with raiding, magic missile is worse than the quasar and other grenades and the cat mod does not apply to the bee shield, also beehawking for mobbing is terrible because you will constantly get overwhelmed because you have to switch to the grog all the time to survive
@@Divinemakyr also behawking with a legendary class cat mod is overkill because your wasting so many skill points on offense while wearing the bee which in reality makes you do less damage because your constantly hiding to protect the bee which is fucking stupid
However, Krieg has Silence the voices so if he hits him self with a broken Roid sheild he's lost basically all of his health. With the Rough Rider he resists his own punches so he takes less damage. Not to mention Krieg already has enough +100% melee damage skills.
Hi there. Since I was playing this game almost non-stop, I just found your channel. You have an excellent was of explaining things coupled with your videos which complement it perfectly. Great job and keep up the good work. I will keep using your videos as a constant reference source.
Krieg is the one who benefits the most from rough rider. Roid shields apply the roid damage to himself if he gets the self hit from silence the voices, so a full melee build for krieg does NOT want a roid shield. On top of that, one of Kriegs earliest skills gives him a bonus melee dmg boost, which is increased if he doesn't have a shield or of his shield is down.
By the way, if you're farming The Bee, and you have the DLC, the tree ents are a much better way than Hunter Hellquist. They seem to drop much more often, and from I've seen tend to have better stats.
vWolven yeah it's only really good with high fire rate low damage guns or guns with unlisted projectiles which there aren't many of but weirdly the 2 that are worth using are from the Pirates booty dlc.
Mr Puma Gaming you forget one crucial thing you see the rough rider to a Melee krieg is actually really good since you get a higher base health and you get the dmg resistance meaning your skill wich heals you fully if below 30% and since u got higher health meaning your not gonna be deringly close to fight for your life when u proc it the higher health u got on higher dificulty puts u in a more beneficial situation compared to a roid shield. (Yes i do know that roid shields might be better but with the right skills the ROugh rider is more beneficial) :D
Matthew Parry mine was a shock bouncing Bonny or something which I got from an enemy in opportunity.... I didn't even know an enemy dropped a legendary.....I was just walking around doing side quests and baam .......saw the grenade laying there......I was like OMG!!!!! BEST DAY EVER
3:46 : Krieg is awful with Roid Shields, because of Silence the Voices. The Rough Rider may be its best option for melee, and a great option (the best imo) for Hellborn. Also, the Rough Rider is MADE for Krieg since he gets a lot of boosts by having his shield depleted OR taking damage directly on health. Great video anyways :D
|Enderborn| the issue is people are used to having a roid on melee Zer0, but the thing is Zer0 is frail and doesn't get as much melee damage buffs as Krieg.
***** StV is the reason Krieg doesn't need a roid shield as well, it's understandable on Zer0 because he doesn't get the insane melee boosts and damage reduction skills Krieg has, melee Zer0 without a roid shield isn't doing as much damage as Krieg
when i was watching this videos i was playing borderlands 2 farming the snowman and i opened the loot and as soon as he started talking about the fabled tortoise i got one out of the chest lol
Very good top ten list - in the end I think for my zero it's obviously the bee that is perfect, and for maya either this one or then the antagonist. Thanks for the good information!
Very late but Puma hates adaptive shields like most other players hate roid shields. I agree that there should be a place on the top 10 list for the Evolution which can be acquired on uvhm by beating Hyperius the Invincilble or on TVHM by purchasing from the Oasis Seraph vendor.
Hey guys, I need your help. I'm trying to figure out whether I should use the Sham shield or the Black Hole shield. Info about the shields and my character is below. I am using Gaige, and I have finished the BFF and am almost done with the LBT skill tree. I will never do the Anarchy skill tree, because I like big magazine sizes.

I would put the antagonist at number 3 and bump the sham and bee up one:p but those are really the best shields, but if your trying to deal with surveyors I would personally go with a Transformer shield
Dark Vampire nah the antagonist is just the best its like the sham can go screw itself antagonist all the way also with the bee you die way too quickly so yeah
Dark Vampire same as the antagonist it can soak up bullets as well and also slag enemies and works against everything not just non elemental bullets and to the bee you dont even really need it in mobbing situations you have enough damage to kill anything anyways and for raiding its gonna be constantly and it also makes your character flimsy as hell
Daath The be just does so much damage. I'm just giving my opinion. I'm not saying the antagonist is a bad shield, it's a really good shield I just think the be and sham is better. I actually have a moded legendary berserker class mod that has the Antagonist effects on it.
my personal top would be: 10. white turtle shield. for extreme healgate builds, really funny but of cause you sacrifise some damage with... 9. the bee, yeah the bee ! its a weapon not a shield and as a shield it really suck the most ridiculus source of damage healthgate you directly. really usefull against raid 8. flame of the Firehawk, kind of a niche shield for krieg but a really good one, although maya can make great use of it. 7. Hide of terra, the best roid shield in the game and the best roid option for zero. really good on deathtrap. 6.neo/evolution I just happen to love them, I remember first time a beat the dragon a was wearing those, as Maya, took me a hell lot of time but I almost didn't take critical damage 5. rough rider. best roid option for krieg, a lot of great uses with the other characters, and its always fun to watch a 10+ teen raging online because he is dying as banshee Maya. 4. big boom, really usefull shield if playing grenade/fastball axton plus it as a high capacity and recharge rate 3. the sham. even though I don't like the shamefleeting morons polluting matchmackings no-one can deny that it may very well be the best shiel in the vanilla game (for bullet area of cause, if you're wearing thise against a rabid ennemy you're dead) 2. antagoniste. bullet reflection, damage reduction (only on bullet), damage increase up tu 880%on deflected bullet, and throw slag at attackers, really good cap/rate/delay do I relly need to explain why its a must have ? 1. blockade. 32% flat damage resistance on your shield and your health, yeah its hard to get but when you'll have it you'll be able to see a rabid wathever and take 3 or 4hit before he can break your shield and then tank 3 or 4 more hit before he can see you down, tank launcher enemy while having a good laugh, nova's like vorac/hyperyus will be nothing against your mightyness, Pyropete nova's if taken will take forever to kill you, the healthgate will become a long and distant memory that you will remember only when switching for the bee to fight an invincible
DD107 the hide being the best roid dmg shield are you high the love thumper has a higher roid dmg and longer recharge rate i throw a chain lighting at my feet and use the rapier and hit dmg cap with my zero on op8
roughrider is better for krieg, salvador and in some cases axton, but the evoultion is better for all other character except for maya if you are doing a fleet build
I actually got Fabled Tortoise as a drop from Blue in the Caustic Caverns when doing the "Safe and Sound" side mission on ps3 as Axton :D (Though I sold it right away 'cause its movement penalty was pain in the ass)
I think the bee is overrated. Not specifically on this list, but in general. It can be a bad choice for mobbing because it has no defensive perks, aside from a fast recharge rate. You're udually much better off with a smart build and something like an antagonist or blockade. Or the sham, I guess, though I don't like the sham either...
I agree. The Bee is only about good through Normal Mode to True Vault Hunter Mode. Then, basically Slag replaces it in Ultimate Vault Hunter - OP8 mode. I still use it however, because the damage boosts can get huge and Slag + Bee Shield is pretty badass.
VinylicPumaGaming also white turtle shields work a good bit better with level 72 survivor coms, aetherseraph made the glass tank build with the shield and com on Zer0 of course
dude, roid sheilds are horrible for kreig. either you're not using melee at all, and on dedicated melee builds for kreig you risk the chance of hitting yourself with a roid boosted silence the voices.
Scrapyard Dragon If you die from a roided silence the voices, you built your character wrong,end of story, my Krieg can hit himself multiple times and not die, especially if I'm on fire, which I likely will be. 50% less damage from bloodlust+50% less damage from numbed nerves make silence the voices trivial, and if you have a class mod that benefits STV, you have a +700%(+) melee damage and a 12% chance to hit yourself, I'm no gambling man, but I like those odds
The only real downside to using a rough rider on salvador is that if you want the benefits of it. You can never use titan or raider class mods. Since they reduce shield capacity if they are equipped it actually breaks the shield and the game acts like you don’t have one equipped, making skills benefiting from an empty shield useless. I’m just lucky i was able to find a better class mod I could benefit from.
That "zero is better off with a roid shield cus hes more melee based anyways" legit triggered me because my chaotic neutral rogue class mod actually makes my DPUH shoot like 8 times every second so the rough rider is amazing for the pure dps boost for always having Fearless active.
I don't know what the name of it is, but I've got a pretty badass Legendary Shield that is a Corrosive Spike shield. Besides spiking melee attackers, it also launches homing spikes at gun attacks!!!
It sounds like The Blockade is good at warding off a single huge first attack, like an explosion, but not so good with subsequent attacks (while it's not fully charged).
Was in a game yesterday and a Bee Shield was the Item of the Day in Zeds Vendor, and also got a Sham from a random locker in Caustic Caverns, these were just so random.
For me personally the Blockade is the best defensive shield in the game. The Antagonist is also cool, though you have to watch not to get slagged if you take cover. The rough rider, the sham, the bee and the hide of terra for certain situations...
The thing I don´t really like about roid shields is that they basically are the opposite of what you want to have as Zer0 who is one of only 2 melee characters in the game. He is just extremely squishy, is one of the only characters to never get a constant health regen effect from a skill(apart from innervate but that is only active while you are in deception which happens to be a skill that does only last 5 seconds and only can be prolonged with many must fall which is extremely hard to pull off at higher difficulties) and he also doesn´t get any damage resistance. There is only one skill that kicks in when his shield has run out and this skill again doesn´t benefit melee builds(it only boosts gun damage and rate of fire and no, it isn´t powerfull enough to justify using the rough rider). Zer0 would actually benefit a lot more if roid shields worked like amp shields, so they boost melee when they are fully charged rather than depleted. His melee kit is mostly about taking down the target in one strike and since one of his skills actually provides improved shields recharge rate upon killing any enemy(it is a mandatory skill anyways because it also provides improved action skill cooldown rate which is vital for most Zer0 builds) it would make for a really good synergy. Considering that Krieg, who synergizes a lot better with roid shields is a DLC character and wasn´t avalable when the game got released at first you´ve really gotta wonder what the devs were thinking when designing roid shields. On the other hand, you don´t need roid shields until TVHM where the entire scaling messes up your melee damage and so they probably didn´t even think about roid shields being a main damage source but rather as some kind of utility tool if you get swarmed by skags for example.
Tbh, the real use of fable tortoise is, acquire low level fabled tortoise, equip any COM that reduces shield capacity (I use raider on gunzerker for +6 moneyshot) and now you can move fast without speccing into any movement speed skills
I got a level 54 bee shield from the leviathan's chests yesterday. If you can glitch it to get past the treasure room door maybe it is worth it. Also i got a legendary hunter class mod for Zer0
The rough rider is one of the best invincible Krieg shields though, with his potentially constant 75% damage resistance; the rough rider will both roid his ridiculous health, and raise that to a constant 80%; which again is considering he is always on fire and is mutating all the time. A few Adaptive shields and flame of the firehawk are other invincible Krieg shields as well
When I saw the antagonist on there I was relieved. I thought I was the only one who went around as zero with a sherrifs badge and 10 points in 2 fang with a Harold. It's kinda stupid actually.
They should make shield types out of the antagonist's capacities in BL3, it'd be awesome to have shields launching a homming swarm of elemental balls as a legendary/unique/seraph/whateverraritytheyadd shield
I had an awsom shield that had an insainly fast recharge delay, and speed. With my siren build i could stand infront of a psyco hed hit me, and by the next hit my shield would be fully charged. Of course this was during my first playthrough, and it only had a capacity of 210. I used it up to the bunker
Krieg is best off with the rough rider, and he doesn't need the firehawk sheild or roid sheilds. The health bonus he gets is way more usful, and paired with a grog nuzzle, he can keep himself alive quite a while using just melee, even against raid bosses
I didnt see an impaler shield on here. I can literally stand still as gaige in a low level area and people will shoot me and die because of spike damage as well as the fact that it shoots corrosive spikes at bullet attackers. I got like 150 stacks of anarchy from running around in frostburn canyon for a while. Definitely a great shield for most dlcs
My issue with the Firehawk shield is you get it so early, it becomes useless before you're halfway through the game. Unless you're using Gibb to keep it at your level.
Summary:
10. Blockade
9. Big Boom Blaster
8. Rough Rider
7. Fabled Tortoise/Hoplite
6. Flame of the Firehawk
5. Love Thumper
4. Hide of Terramorphous
3. Sham
2. Bee
1. Antagonist

I find as Krieg at op8 does pleanty of damage with out a roid shield. Extra roid damage only causes you to one shot your self with silence the voices
you don't one shot yourself, in fact roid shields have nothing to do with the self damage you take

I can confirm this in 2023, it's indeed has better drop.

Talking about Tortoise/Hoplite, doesnt mention when the penalty is greater than your entire health.

1. blockade. 32% flat damage resistance on your shield and your health, yeah its hard to get but when you'll have it you'll be able to see a rabid wathever and take 3 or 4hit before he can break your shield and then tank 3 or 4 more hit before he can see you down, tank launcher enemy while having a good laugh, nova's like vorac/hyperyus will be nothing against your mightyness, Pyropete nova's if taken will take forever to kill you, the healthgate will become a long and distant memory that you will remember only when switching for the bee to fight an invincible
321 are?
DD107 the hide being the best roid dmg shield are you high the love thumper has a higher roid dmg and longer recharge rate i throw a chain lighting at my feet and use the rapier and hit dmg cap with my zero on op8
DD10
DD107 i
Bee + booster would + sham = death to everything... RANDY WE NEED THIS NOW
glad to see more borderlands content being uploaded
Love the videos you put out! Both informative and hilarious!
the blockade is by far the best shield in the game.
Advesha and other hilarious jokes you can tell yourself
@@zephyrsaix8319 as an overall shield it actually is
**sarcasm intensifies**
Seriously? You include Tortoise/Hoplite but not Neo/Evo? Wow that's sad.
KinsanGaming101 evolution >rough rider
roughrider is better for krieg, salvador and in some cases axton, but the evoultion is better for all other character except for maya if you are doing a fleet build
@@Divinemakyr Tortoise can give more movement speed, with Maya when also equiped with the orphan maker.
I actually got The Bee off a base Treant today, barely made it into the forest for the first time and on my second kill. I just laughed like a hyena.
I actually got Fabled Tortoise as a drop from Blue in the Caustic Caverns when doing the "Safe and Sound" side mission on ps3 as Axton :D (Though I sold it right away 'cause its movement penalty was pain in the ass)
I think the bee is overrated. Not specifically on this list, but in general. It can be a bad choice for mobbing because it has no defensive perks, aside from a fast recharge rate. You're udually much better off with a smart build and something like an antagonist or blockade. Or the sham, I guess, though I don't like the sham either...
bguzewi0 Fast 7 seconds my boi sham wow 2 seconds
I agree. The Bee is only about good through Normal Mode to True Vault Hunter Mode. Then, basically Slag replaces it in Ultimate Vault Hunter - OP8 mode.
I still use it however, because the damage boosts can get huge and Slag + Bee Shield is pretty badass.
Terminated Account you just proceeded to argue against and refute your own opinion.. I get what you're saying, but I found this hilarious.. =P
Shamfleet for mobbing, beeharolding for dps unless zerking.
Acey Moo "no DEFENSIVE perks aside from a fast recharge RATE" yeah whats wrong with that?
helllloooo
hola
yo vpg
VinylicPumaGaming bonjour
VinylicPumaGaming also white turtle shields work a good bit better with level 72 survivor coms, aetherseraph made the glass tank build with the shield and com on Zer0 of course
Joel Karlsson ?
i dropped the bee in my first playthrough of the dragon dlc in TVHM and it carried me through the TVHM with ease
Damn son, vinylic puma got dat sweet 94 sham
If only killer six watches this
K6 has a 94 sham though I think he got it a year ago
Where's my the wiskey tango foxtrot? It's mega op w.t.f. > sham
blockade is easy to get
I got a shield called the bee it’s the first and only orange shield I’ve picked up
I gotta say the antagonist is the best shield, if you dont look at amp damage from the bee.
dude, roid sheilds are horrible for kreig. either you're not using melee at all, and on dedicated melee builds for kreig you risk the chance of hitting yourself with a roid boosted silence the voices.
Scrapyard Dragon If you die from a roided silence the voices, you built your character wrong,end of story, my Krieg can hit himself multiple times and not die, especially if I'm on fire, which I likely will be. 50% less damage from bloodlust+50% less damage from numbed nerves make silence the voices trivial, and if you have a class mod that benefits STV, you have a +700%(+) melee damage and a 12% chance to hit yourself, I'm no gambling man, but I like those odds
StV's self damage does not get any boosts from roid shields
Derpy Duck are you playing on OP8? because on OP8 when you hit yourself you will get yourself down to healthgate
Derpy Duck and Kriegs damage reduction skills does not reduce the damage he deals to himself
I'm playing on OP8 and I can tell you that the damage reduction skills work on StV, otherwise I would be dead-er than Angel,
How to fuck wit ppl

Almost had me there :P
VinylicPumaGaming are you playing on Xbox 360?
are u using fireball grenade?
Concentrated Clorox Bleach ooooooooooohhhhhh you will be
Concentrated Clorox Bleach 4
The Bee with the Lady Fist ... Massive critical hits
I gotta say that flame of the firehawk & love thumper is my all time favorite for Krieg
The only real downside to using a rough rider on salvador is that if you want the benefits of it. You can never use titan or raider class mods. Since they reduce shield capacity if they are equipped it actually breaks the shield and the game acts like you don’t have one equipped, making skills benefiting from an empty shield useless. I’m just lucky i was able to find a better class mod I could benefit from.
I been needing this video, thanks VPG
The antagonist with the siren is really good
That "zero is better off with a roid shield cus hes more melee based anyways" legit triggered me because my chaotic neutral rogue class mod actually makes my DPUH shoot like 8 times every second so the rough rider is amazing for the pure dps boost for always having Fearless active.
oh the hoplite, i remember that one, i never realised how much speed is reduced until you take the shield back off again
I don't know what the name of it is, but I've got a pretty badass Legendary Shield that is a Corrosive Spike shield. Besides spiking melee attackers, it also launches homing spikes at gun attacks!!!
I don't know if it was an update, or something, but since I've started playing Tiny Tina's DLC, I've gotten almost 6 Bee shields.
I just found your channel from watching a few other Borderlands 2 videos and I have to say you're pretty cool!
Nº1 Rogh Rider
Nº2 LArge
Nº6 With EXtra cheese
Nº7 with extra 7
Nº9 with extra dip
and a large cheese soda.
sibiris u forgot number 45 u aint no big smoke my nigga
sibiris also smoke never got a cheese soda he got a soda cheese
starving kid from africa OOOOOOOOOOHHHH my dog!
Love the new Thumbnail, good job Puma!
It sounds like The Blockade is good at warding off a single huge first attack, like an explosion, but not so good with subsequent attacks (while it's not fully charged).
So probably pretty useful against terra
The Sham is the best in the game against explosions.
My first legendary shield was the Impaler
You should honestly do a video on gear that used to be really great tell it was nerfed
Was in a game yesterday and a Bee Shield was the Item of the Day in Zeds Vendor, and also got a Sham from a random locker in Caustic Caverns, these were just so random.
Definitely the Bee for me. I finally killed Teramorphous by myself
Very noice
For me personally the Blockade is the best defensive shield in the game. The Antagonist is also cool, though you have to watch not to get slagged if you take cover. The rough rider, the sham, the bee and the hide of terra for certain situations...
The thing I don´t really like about roid shields is that they basically are the opposite of what you want to have as Zer0 who is one of only 2 melee characters in the game. He is just extremely squishy, is one of the only characters to never get a constant health regen effect from a skill(apart from innervate but that is only active while you are in deception which happens to be a skill that does only last 5 seconds and only can be prolonged with many must fall which is extremely hard to pull off at higher difficulties) and he also doesn´t get any damage resistance. There is only one skill that kicks in when his shield has run out and this skill again doesn´t benefit melee builds(it only boosts gun damage and rate of fire and no, it isn´t powerfull enough to justify using the rough rider). Zer0 would actually benefit a lot more if roid shields worked like amp shields, so they boost melee when they are fully charged rather than depleted. His melee kit is mostly about taking down the target in one strike and since one of his skills actually provides improved shields recharge rate upon killing any enemy(it is a mandatory skill anyways because it also provides improved action skill cooldown rate which is vital for most Zer0 builds) it would make for a really good synergy. Considering that Krieg, who synergizes a lot better with roid shields is a DLC character and wasn´t avalable when the game got released at first you´ve really gotta wonder what the devs were thinking when designing roid shields. On the other hand, you don´t need roid shields until TVHM where the entire scaling messes up your melee damage and so they probably didn´t even think about roid shields being a main damage source but rather as some kind of utility tool if you get swarmed by skags for example.
Tbh, the real use of fable tortoise is, acquire low level fabled tortoise, equip any COM that reduces shield capacity (I use raider on gunzerker for +6 moneyshot) and now you can move fast without speccing into any movement speed skills
I like the sham with two rocketlaunchers and Logan's gun on gunzerker.
I got a level 54 bee shield from the leviathan's chests yesterday. If you can glitch it to get past the treasure room door maybe it is worth it. Also i got a legendary hunter class mod for Zer0
The rough rider is one of the best invincible Krieg shields though, with his potentially constant 75% damage resistance; the rough rider will both roid his ridiculous health, and raise that to a constant 80%; which again is considering he is always on fire and is mutating all the time.
A few Adaptive shields and flame of the firehawk are other invincible Krieg shields as well
The Antagonist would probably be Krieg’s best Invincibility option though
Flame of the firehawk! Works well with gaige as it turns deathtrap into a walking explosion and works infinitely well with hellborn krieg.
good video puma keep up the good work also some new games here and there and some lore videos would be awesome anywho just a suggestion keep it up! :D
When I saw the antagonist on there I was relieved. I thought I was the only one who went around as zero with a sherrifs badge and 10 points in 2 fang with a Harold. It's kinda stupid actually.
Krieg with the flame of the firehawk is basically invincible it's amazing lol
Comes to Video
Goes to End
Sees Antagonist at #1
"Alright, I'll watch this video. Puma knows."
They should make shield types out of the antagonist's capacities in BL3, it'd be awesome to have shields launching a homming swarm of elemental balls as a legendary/unique/seraph/whateverraritytheyadd shield
Loving the Impaler Shield with corrosive spikes
really cool you didnt put bee as top shield and used a unique shield that people dont normally talk about, cool vid.
I got 2 bee shields from the the trees in like 30 minutes I wasn't even farming them I was doing side quest
One time I was in the forest on my gaige when I kill two treents they both dropped bee shields #luck and yes I know this is an old video.
I had an awsom shield that had an insainly fast recharge delay, and speed.
With my siren build i could stand infront of a psyco hed hit me, and by the next hit my shield would be fully charged.
Of course this was during my first playthrough, and it only had a capacity of 210.
I used it up to the bunker
Krieg is best off with the rough rider, and he doesn't need the firehawk sheild or roid sheilds. The health bonus he gets is way more usful, and paired with a grog nuzzle, he can keep himself alive quite a while using just melee, even against raid bosses
Puma: the blockade is the hardest shield to get
Me: laughing in 94% sham
Damn, this hits me right in the feels
With the rough rider don't use axton one of my favorite skills is the abilith to regen heatlh with a full sheild
I didnt see an impaler shield on here. I can literally stand still as gaige in a low level area and people will shoot me and die because of spike damage as well as the fact that it shoots corrosive spikes at bullet attackers. I got like 150 stacks of anarchy from running around in frostburn canyon for a while. Definitely a great shield for most dlcs
Hahaha
Personally, I always try to stick with "melee attackers get damaged by (such and such) elemental effect". It's a bit of a habit but It's worth it.
Good vid puma keep up the good work
My issue with the Firehawk shield is you get it so early, it becomes useless before you're halfway through the game. Unless you're using Gibb to keep it at your level.
Axetwin or you can get one on op8 by reseting your playthrough via the game
Except OP8 is max level endgame, and I'm talking about leveling. No, not everyone uses cheats and exploits to level to max level in 20 minutes.
I dont and i thought you were talking about end game sorry
I got the bee shield last night while playing and I started to destroy the enemies with no problem
you forgot about elemental bee shields, Alkaline + Inflammable = pyro pete's nightmares
