When people do shock builds for Gaige, do they typically use 4 shock weapons? I can't remember if her boosts from LBT match elemental weaknesses (like causing shock to deal equal damage on armor as corrosive)

I never bothered with it but maybe a slag for switching?

You can do this, but you'll run into a few enemies that are close to immune to shock based attacks like badass shock skags, ION loaders and a couple of other things. But this isn't something worth about since Deathtrap + Interspersed Outburst is enough to deal with them.

Matching elements (incendiary to flesh / corrosive to metal) will always do more damage than Gaige's neutral shock damage to whatever, but you can buff your shock attacks (with the help of Anarchy) to the point where you don't need to bother with other elements.

gaige is easy mode now matter how you build her. they made her for gurrl gamers who want to play borderlands for the memes but are are absolutely no good at shooters.

I planned on using a Chulainn if that helps against shock enemies

I really wouldn't bother with the Chulainn since it considerably cuts down on Gaige's tanking capabilities (blood soaked shield + high capacity pangolin shields make her near unkillable). Also, consider using a Florentine over the Chulainn since it's basically the same thing, but with more damage and no drawbacks.
