Talk:Redeem the Soul

This skill is...
Well, it seemed really cool in concept. I was one of the people singing the praises of being able to swap places with an ally, kill an enemy and Relase the Beast all over the bad guys' faces. In practice, though, I've seen one of two things happen: either by the time you get back up all the bad guys are mostly dead anyway (even with Light the Fuse--hell, especially with Light the Fuse), or your friend immediately turns and revives you despite all protestations. I've had my entire team get downed because I rushed out and revived someone, my ally tried to revive me and got downed, and everyone else tried to revive us and got downed as well.

I know the 50% longer Fight for your Life time is great--that's the only reason I still have it in my skill tree--but is there any legitimate use for this skill other than lengthening FFYL? Krieg is (let's face it) a melee tank (if you're not coming to Krieg for his melee, there are a lot of better ranged options available); it seems counterproductive to intentionally cripple yourself and prevent you from using your best option unless an enemy chooses to let you use it.
