I've been using badass and liking it quite a bit, and while it's not something that shows up immediately, like SoB or HR, it means you can survive longer, with a bigger pad of life. Which means you can have a game where you have lots of life and armor and can just tank everything (or almost everything). But why don't people do this more often? or am i just getting the wrong impression, that people use badass all the time?

Sometimes knockback is all that will save you, it's like a square or three of running like hell for free, if you don't count the cost of the barrel/plasma glob exploding in your face.

True, the knockback reduction is something i overlooked. a curse and a blessing. Because, if you are a shotgun player, then you don't really want knockback, you want to be in their face. But at level 10, you could have this full defense character with something like

TAN->TAN->Bad->Bad->Bad->Iro->Iro->Iro->TAN->HR

or something like that. At 200% and 3 ironman, you have 160 hp.

I take 1 point in Badass when already over lvl 10 and i got at least 2 ironman, but i do it mostly for it's knockback effect. I also find that 1 point slows the depletion quite enough thank you.

Of course that's different when playing Angel of Masochism when all the extra Hp counts.

Also, Badass is set to be improved in a later version. :)

I find Badass to be incredibly useful for Angel of Impatience, since you'll need all the life you can get to make up for the loss of medkits

however, I don't see it being exceptionally useful in (most) of the other games. Maybe Angel of Masochism? I'm still at Demon Lieutenant rank. ):

EDIT: Concerning shotguns, while reduced knockback is cool, you can still use them from a distance andyou're definitely more likely to put points on the ever-important Shottyman.

badass is really nice for necroarmor.
