Give him a go mate just be warned it's a lot harder than the other classes, esp if you get him to ultimate vault hunter mode. A lot of skills on his tree makes him hurt himself, i.e. if you set an enemy on fire, you become on fire yourself, and a lot of stuff related to diminishing your own shield, fun but insane haha
Just to tease u more...one of the last skills turns you into badass form if your health drops below a certain limit, so you can just bezerk around and beat the shit out of everyone (he also throws TNT instead of melee lmao)
