-- General ---------------------------------------------------

 Before him 442 brave souls have ventured into Phobos:
 390 of those were killed.
 8 of those were killed by something unknown.
 5 didn't read the thermonuclear bomb manual.
 And 24 couldn't handle the stress and committed a stupid suicide.

 Some rumours though, say that the Cyberdemon was killed already!
 Is he immortal? 15 souls claim to have killed him...
 1 sacrificed itself for the good of mankind.
 13 killed the bastard and survived.
 1 showed that it can outsmart hell itself.

--------------------------------------------------------------
Man, AoMs on Nightmare has all of the challenge and almost none of the offsetting benefits (no double strength small medpacks or healing globes, only double berserk and invulnerability globe duration, the latter which I found none!).  Did get the second best unique though (Necroarmor), which helped a lot for the win.  First time in ages I actually appreciated having the Gothic boots - made damage floors into 1 hp affairs, which was important with every point of health essential.

After a few shots, I'm really thinking that the third level of Eagle Eye would help - I still see perhaps a good third of my chaingun/plasma shots miss.

Floor 17 was pretty precarious - after lots of effort chipping away a dangerous horde, the number of monsters didn't feel like it was going down and I lost a lot of my health in the process.  End up risking a homing phase device and luckily the exit area was safe.  (Had I known it was safe I would have used it a lot earlier, but you never know with monsters everywhere on Nightmare.)  I was actually reduced to 1hp midway through the next floor!  At that point it wasn't safe to stand at a corner to fire, so I spent precious power cells to arc the bfg around a corner instead, giving me enough experience to bump me to the next level and the all-important healing!  I ended up running out of ammo altogether on that floor (and I had 550 cells in inventory + 170 in my weapons the floor before, and some 10mm ammo to boot) and had only 17 rockets left, no 10mm, no power cells in inventory.  I even had to unload the 90 cells in my BFG to supply my plasma rifle in a last ditch attempt to clear an area of enemies so I could pick up the captain droppings (10mm ammo).

When playing, and opening a door to see a clump of viles/mancubi or revenants/etc - you just sigh, close the door, and run around for another path, hoping that the stairs are in the new direction in which you head.  This happened more than a few times this run.  It's not like Ao100 where you're fully powered up, fully stocked with all the ammo and medpacks you need.  (Of course, the Ao100 monster clumps are a lot bigger, but you have a fighting chance taking them on, you can heal when you take stray shots.)

Cyberdemon spawned in the open in front of me, so no chance to take cover and shoot around a corner.  Thankfully I had enough health and ammo to win the slugging match.

Just Angel of Berserk left...I don't think I know how to play that, though.

[Captain Trek]

Wow... You, sir, are a monster... O_o

By the way, if the necroarmour is the second best unique, which is the best?

[Zi]

The blaster is the best of all uniques, in my opinion.  But now that I play with chaingun/plasma rifle builds more often, I no longer think of it as overpowered as before, a lot due to the fact that I no longer revere pistols the way I used to.  Before I compared dualgunned pistols with chainguns, since I operated with the assumption that power cells were rare and not to be relied on.  With this comparison pistols had a number of advantages, especially concerning their hitting power against armored foes (a lower % of raw damage is lost).  But when I play now, sufficient power cells are available to use a plasma rifle when you need to, and the plasma rifle definitely blows  pistols out of the water.
