 Before him 152 brave souls have ventured into Phobos:
 130 of those were killed.
 2 didn't read the thermonuclear bomb manual.
 And 10 couldn't handle the stress and committed a stupid suicide.

 Some rumours though, say that the Cyberdemon was killed already!
 Is he immortal? 10 souls claim to have killed him...
 1 sacrificed itself for the good of mankind.
 8 killed the bastard and survived.
 1 showed that it can outsmart hell itself.

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

And I thought my AoP run was unusually awesome.  I swear that, just prior to this run, I was running ideas through my head on how to tackle AoMs, and the only thing that felt possible enough to pull off after TaN/Iro was shotty.  For higher difficulties I might have gone MFa and ignored the Ironman levels instead, but the idea is the same: Badass ASAP, then consolidate some offense, preferably something with knockback.  MAD will give knockback with armorless combat shots and MFa lets you avoid a lot of damage, but either way you're a lot better off.  (I'd definitely do MFa for a N! run, for instance.)  Getting off track...anyway.

So I thought to myself, "You know what'd be awesome for such a build?  Super shotty and Pancor."  Sure enough, my FIRST RUN, floor 8 super shotgun, floor 12 Pancor.  The rest showed only minor diffiiculties.  Other crazy things:
- The Wall was a large risk, what with how dangerous all that splash is, but I'm learning that a sufficient number of rockets makes that level rather easy.
- The Vaults!  I can't believe I even went for it, but shotty run + no medikits = AMPLE room for phases.  Five normals and two homings.  Considering I pulled off Halls of Carnage as well, BFG made short work of the enemy there.  Malek's Armor was a nice reward for clearing it.
- Full Victory!  Honestly?  I think I was just plowing through with overconfidence and decided "SURE, WHY NOT."  Most of the damage came from Pancor, BFG for the Barons.  And I had ample BFG just in case.

Sorry that this isn't a challenging victory, but I do like to post wins when they're interestingly lucky.  I just wish I could have also cleared Lava Pits (it's the main reason for non-100%) but, alas, I used my envirosuits and space on Carnage, Vaults, and phases.  Lieutenant Colonel, woo.

Hmm... interesting build.  I'm trying for AoMs these days, and am not making much headway.  Perhaps it's time to relook into that shotgun build after all...

(Caveat: I'm mostly a Pistol user.)
