So I started using elemental weapons in Borderlands, holy fuck is it easier. I used to just take the gun with the highest damage, which usually doesn't have any elements. I switched to a revolver which does like 200 less damage than my best one, but has x4 acid. I love shooting someone once and letting them corrode into death in seconds.

The Siren is probably the easiest class because of that, since she get s ton of Elemental buffs. Using The Berserk Action skill when X4 Explosive damage makes everything so satisfying. You basically Quintuple amputate someone with a critpunch. I've found that Incendiary and Shock rounds work best, I can't find any Corrosive guns that have a reasonably high damage or Element multiplier to justify buying.
On that note: I bought a Shotgun that did 155 Damage x11 for about 1,600 000 dollars. It's the best shotgun I had in the game up to that point, since it also had EXCELLENT range and a 12 round barrel. It looks really cool, too.
Then I came across a generic one that does 2,805 damage a shot with a two round barrel in a trash can about ten minutes later. It's got less ammo but reloads really quick. It's basically a super fast Sledge's shotgun without the automatic waste of both shots, and decent range and recoil. Pissed me right off.
