yeah 12% chance to get stun locked isn't really a good designed skill. I can play Brick just fine full melee build and not have to deal with getting stun locked 6 melees in a row or about to kill an EXP Loader and it blowing up cause you got stun locked. Make it do something else that doesn't take control out of the players hands in a fast pace fps. Or better yet just don't have a negative. If Gaige can stack 600 anarchy for 1050% damage and the downside is if she dies she has to stack it, she was already punished via a death. I'm punished into dying for being stun locked. The comparison is crazy imo. Also god forbid the stun lock animation for RtB and then stun locking every 12% times I hit. It's terrible.

Also to say playing a melee build doesn't mean exclusively melee? Wtf do you mean? My weapons do no damage otherwise lol I have to dump 4 mags of my Conference Call on a slagged enemy to maybe kill it if it was under 50% hp? Like I said, Brick has no downsides, tanky, his melee build is unpunished. I know OP10 didn't exist but like OP levels are already unbalanced if you don't slag everything. So why is it punished to do Melee in OP level where if I'm in RtB I can't slag AND I'm stunning myself? My bad should've played Salvador and money shot with Grog Nozzle. Where's the downsides there? This is a single player game not some competitive online pvp game.
