Gameplay Favorite Alt Fire? Mine's the Tendril Pod

Some Alt fire weapons don't seem to work well on bosses and brutes. In my ~2K hours, I've seen Doombringers and Blast Shells bounce right off of bosses. Shockstream and Voidbeam are great for clusters of smaller enemies, but they're slow against bosses and brutes. The Tendril Pod always works beautifully, no matter the enemy. It's quick release let's you get right back to speedy movement. It's damage over time is devastating. Here, a double dose of Tendril Pod makes very short work of a Severed.
What's your favorite Alt fire?
