Okay guys, so I beat a bunch of challenges but I can't move on to the next rank until I beat AoM.  How do you beat that thing?  It's like angel of purity but harder in every way.

Otherwise, I feel pretty good about myself now that this challenge is beat.  Mortuary was pretty easy since I had a bag full of reds.  (well, I had alot less reds in my bag after I was done though).

 Before him 163 brave souls have ventured into Phobos:
 148 of those were killed.
 3 of those were killed by something unknown.
 And 6 couldn't handle the stress and committed a stupid suicide.

 Some rumours though, say that the Cyberdemon was killed already!
 Is he immortal? 6 souls claim to have killed him...
 1 sacrificed itself for the good of mankind.
 5 killed the bastard and survived.

This YAVP's from a long time ago, and damn if I could pull that off now, considering how little I play.
But, still, it should give a good picture of how winnable AoMs is (although the YAVP's version is old, so things aren't quite the same).
Look at the trait listing on the first comment following the main post. Don't forget to correct for version differences (Badass requires TaN, not IM; Intuition was nerfed, but I still recommend it; Finesse was much less relevant, but now unlocks Juggler and WK, the first of which is now a must-have IMHO). This build kept me going very, very nicely, iirc.

Second, check the wiki.
Wiki homepage
Traits
Tips and Tricks, if you aren't aware of all of them yet.
AoMs strategies (more like tips. It assumes the player is already well up-to-date by this point. Check the whole page for more basic strategies.)
Doesn't seem anyone edited Challenge Strategies past AoMr since I did ages ago, so its idea's only general. I'll work on it sometime, if no-one else does first.

Don't feel bad about using every dirty trick in the book to win this one - sniping isn't horrible when you've been deprived the ability heal.

And DON'T TOUCH THE NECROARMOUR. Just in case it shows up :)

And now, goodnight ^^

thanks, I'll try that!

My first try I went straight for badass.  Got toasted at dlvl15, but the intuition thing may work better.  Does healing levers work?  probably not eh heh.  I also ignored all the special levels.
