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

 Before him 12 brave souls have ventured into Phobos:
 4 of those were killed.
 And 1 couldn't handle the stress and committed a stupid suicide.

 Some rumours though, say that the Cyberdemon was killed already!
 Is he immortal? 7 souls claim to have killed him...
 4 killed the bastard and survived.
 3 showed that it can outsmart hell itself.

--------------------------------------------------------------

I used a build recommended by Sylph's guide, but I added in a single Eagle Eye to compensate for the pistols' tendency to miss quite often. Worked wonderfully.

So here's the story, with my two power modded pistols, I descend into hell, making mincemeat out of all the barons and knights with my camping method, and the only creatures that gave me trouble were arachnotrons and commandos, if only because they were more apt to catch me unawares.

Throughout my journey, I was lucky enough to find 2 thermies and 3 homing phase devices. On hell level 6 (level 21, basically), I find an invulnerabilty globe right next to the stairs, so I work it out in my head, and I grab the globe, head downstairs, and then use my homing phase devices one after the other to skip levels 7-9 and get to the phobos arena with my invulnerabilty intact. I nuke him handily, and with no more homing phase devices, I'm forced to walk to the exit (all the way across the room) which removes my invulnerability, and I get to JC's lair... I know for a fact that I'm not going to defeat JC with just pistols, not like this, so I just activate my other thermie and blow his ass to kingdom come with me! It's always nice to kill JC, even if I have to go out in a blaze of glory to do it.

Nice win!  I've not achieved a full win on AoMr yet; probably should look into that.

MGK is nice if you like playing a dodging kind of character, and it makes surviving a mob of lost souls/demons that much easier since you auto-dual-reload each time you kill something.

[ChaoticJosh]

Gunkata's nice, but I'm not into dodgey characters. I mean, I can appreciate it, I just do better with camping. Camping, where I find a good spot and abuse the 'wait' feature, nets me alot of easy kills. The most dangerous enemies, Archviles and revenants, can't even be dodged anyway, so it seems like a waste when I can invest in MORE POWER and do just as well anyway.

I think dodgeyness and speed would be better with shotguns, actually, since shooting around corners is flawed due to some odd bugs with aiming, and that shottyman functions by moving, and that you need to get close to enemies in order to deal significant damage anyway.

[thelaptop]

Dodgy characters are great for going toe-to-toe with Cybie, since you can easily dodge his rocket and shoot at him many times while he reloads.

But of course, if you have invulnerability and a couple of nukes, all these points are moot.
