 revenant fires! You dodge! The missile hits the revenant. The revenant
 fires! You are hit!

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

 Before him 8 brave souls have ventured into Phobos:
 6 of those were killed.
 And 2 couldn't handle the stress and committed a stupid suicide.

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


So, this being my first post, i'll just speak about this run!
As you can see, this was my ninth character to be created and the first one to get any kind of success, the 8 others just consist of mindless deaths involving barrels, knockback and lavafloors, but lets not talk about them eh!

So, this Tanaka i created was meant to be a melee-based which the build is for, and for the majority of game i just used my modded Chainsaw and hope for lucky Berserk-procs and Vampyre-heals, which happened quite often, keeping me alive!
But i believe that my ultimate turmoil was just a result of having too little amount of medkits, from now on they'll be my best friends, and i also doubt that i should be using doubleshotty, it didn't have the marine-feeling as the Combat-shotty did.

So, feel free to comment this run and please, OH PLEASE give me some criticism and advice, those are well needed for my next char, Tanaka junior!

(( I also gotta say that so far the best moment in this game was the "" Lava my ass. I don't care.""-line, that made me crack up and i find myself repeating that day after day))

Only the 9th game - you are on your way to being a DoomRL great if you stick with it.

Running was probably the best course of action in that mess when you died...I bet those gothic boots weighed you down though. The MV penalty on those things are terrible!

Other than that, I'd say throw in Brute 3 if you're doing a melee build and you'll be all set!

Good luck with the next one...YAVP for sure!

Put a chainsaw in my coffin. If I go to Hell, I'll need to do some cleaning there.

Some things:
1. You've got a huge amount of plasma cells hoarded up, but no plasma gun, and it seems like you never used your BFGs. That situation would have been a very good time to use them.

2. For a melee build, I'd say you're carrying a little too much ammo around. You need space for health kits and phase devices. Phase devices are more useful than health kits when you're surrounded by big bads (unless you get unlucky).

3. If you're running out of health kits on easy mode, then you're either not picking them up, or you're taking too much damage unnecessarily. You can't beat the game in a melee focus without excessive use of running and cowardice tactics. It might not seem like it, but there's a lot of ways to avoid getting shot. When it comes to shotgun guys, though, you shouldn't bother running towards them, they'll just blow you away.
