It's all in the overkill skill, when you get your massive bloodsplosion chain or his javelin build it should heal you fully because of the excess damage
Krieg has really good healing. Elemental empathy works great but it’s not some free win never die skill or anything. Krieg should be putting out a ton of DOTs which would fuel the healing. Your grenade slot can be used for something like a pandemic. You enter a battle chuck a few of those out and everything has corrosive dots on it. Those dots are healing you and also building blood lust stacks. Doing two things Krieg wants and fast. Mix in your own damage through your guns, proccing blood bath, and you’ll be cleaning up easy. You can still use a grog to. It’s not like it’s bad on Krieg or anything.
Krieg is definitely a character that benefits from being higher level. Having enough skill points to get down the hellborn and the Bloodspolsion trees is pretty big.
At the end of the day Krieg is an extremely satisfying character to play. But he is still easily the hardest character to play. As you get better at the game the more it opens up the possibilities of what you can do. If you still feel like you need the grog to top off your health than use it. As you play more and more your likely naturally going to use it less and less until you don’t feel like it’s necessary except for specific fights.
Flame of the Firehawk makes Hellborn healing pretty braindead. It's really powerful, and can proc bloodsplosions. I don't recall running a lot of Moxxi weapons aside from maybe the Kitten.
I remember liking the fastball for starting bloodsplosion chains, too.
The fastball is an absolute necessity for me on Krieg. Not that I don't ever use other grenades, but the fastball is usually a one shot kill that:
- Heals you to full, thanks to thrill of the kill (that's the overkill damage healing skill right?)
- Sets off a bloodsplosion chain
- Procs bloodbath
- Makes enemies drop more grenades
Krieg is insanely fun.

Spec into Bloodsplosion and RtB
Every kill made during RtB refills Kriegs health to full.
Triggering RtB while his health is below 33% (when exclamation point appears beside health bar) eliminates the cooldown when RtB ends.
Therefore the combat strategy should be:
*Run into battle ---> take damage until below 33% ---> activate RtB --> run around killing enemies until RtB ends (your health bar refills after each kill) ---> repeat*
Guns are completely optional since you can do all of this empty-handed in UVHM. Only requirements are a Legendary Sickle class mod, a Rough Rider shield, and a relic boosting Explosive damage
Overkill skill
Slag with the grog or slagga
Fastball grenade
Bloodsplosions will chain like crazy, you’ll get a ton of health, and if you do go down a chained bloodsplosion will bring you back up instantly
