Borderlands 2

[ex cathedra]

So has anyone tried a melee Zero with the Love Thumper shield? Or is that just a trap shield?

For those who haven't gotten it:

Love Thumper is one of those shields that grant bonus melee damage when the shield is depleted. It is a unique purple because it has a huge Roid damage bonus, and it's shield recharge delay is a staggering 250 seconds. I guess the point behind it is that once it is down, you get access to that huge buff for a very long time.

Dosen't seem like it's worth it though, which is why I ask before testing.

Melee Zero can't really survive with no shields and just Resurgence or whatever, even in solo play, so Love Thumper is pretty much just out-classed by another melee shield that comes later in the game. It's a cute gimmick while it lasts, though.

Edit
That Shotty is called Deliverance, and it drops off of a Wildlife Preserve boss.
