 Before him 1425 brave souls have ventured into Phobos:
 1303 of those were killed.
 6 of those were killed by something unknown.
 21 didn't read the thermonuclear bomb manual.
 And 68 couldn't handle the stress and committed a stupid suicide.

 Some rumours though, say that the Cyberdemon was killed already!
 Is he immortal? 27 souls claim to have killed him...
 3 sacrificed itself for the good of mankind.
 23 killed the bastard and survived.
 1 showed that it can outsmart hell itself.

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

Well lo and behold, I finally got that UV full win. Even though I had interrupt my run due of windows update, I was still able to keep my streak on.

Overall this run was rather... Intresting. At the start things went pretty odd.. I got 2 levels in level 2 alone, for some reason the whole level was packed with captains and demons, I actually was pretty suprised at it.

The Wall in this run however... I went in with pretty good gear and all, leveled up there after killing the first baron and got ammochain but then things started to go downwards.. The vile fire blast started bouncing me around and I couldn't get to my cover. Running away from the whole wall with only 12% I had to use my all medkits before appoarching it again and made another attempt of building cover. I finally got em all killed and looted up, but had no armor or healthpacks for the next few levels. I had to rely on globes and had to play super careful. Good thing RNG had mercy before the hellgate and I was stocked up again.

Maleks armor was pretty useful for my inventory spaces as I was able to ditch all my blue and backup green one, shame it came up so late.

Spiders lair... Didnt go as planned. I decided to try out my usual BFG way considering its been a while since I seriously tried to beat this place but appereantly the teleporters are now indestructable.. And I ran out of medkits, AGAIN. RNG had mercy on the next level as I spawned near 2 large medkits and 1 small one.

Mortuary went as usual, homing phase to a corner, load up my BFG and missile launcher and go gun and blazing to the middle.

Suprisingly didn't find the vaults this time around, shame, I wanted to try the middle again with my epic gothic armor I picked up before the mortuary.

Now then.. Level 24 was intresting.. As I spawned there, I noticed there was A LOT OF GLOBES, 2 super charges, 1 berserk, few large health globes and so on.. So I figured there had to be one inv somewhere.. And I saw one, in a house, next to a barrel. ... Well the whole level fighting the mobs went pretty much super carefully. Had to make sure nothing flew toward that one house where it was. After I was done, found the exit, used the globe, ran down, KABOOM and hello Carmack! Carmack was pretty straight forward, as I had 180% HP to begin with due of the big ol globe heaven the level 24 was. Just blasted the hell out of the guy with my BFG, nuclear BFG, missile launcher and then finished off with the plasma gun. And bam!

So there, 1 more platinum to go and I will directly fly to the rank of Legend.. What shall it be? I'm hoping to try strongman platinum or reaper platinum but time will show..

Bravo! Makes my AoMC UV-FW feel like a cop-out. I really need to get back to playing some DoomRL, you're already leagues ahead of me.

If you're doing Strongman Plat, you may as well go Strongman Diamond, it's like the same thing. You're playing an all-or-nothing AoP without descending level ups: whether or not the scaling is faster probably doesn't mean much. Reaper Plat, on the other hand, is either gonna be MAc (preferably AoMC because you'll one-hit everything with the rifle, worked for me) or MBm (which sounds insane but you would have by greatest respect if you pull it off).

Well strongman diamond just has this little issue of the two shotgunners at the first level waiting to play tennis with you and the health kits aren't the greatest on UV. Honestly, due of the start I'd rather go for Demonic Diamond as I'd rather not constantly restart to get the 'good' start level, atleast on N! you can walk off with a healthkit and not be almost dead at the next level.

But the whole fist only is still freaking hard. Even though I have gotten to hell levels with fist only, suprisingly to level 18 on N! little while ago and 22 at HMP, you're still basicly just a walking target.

Wow, this is epic....
Fanta, could you tell me: when you go ammochain build why do you always go like this:
SoB->SoB->Fin->Fin->WK->TH->MAc
is it the optimal way? Why not:
SoB->SoB->WK->Fin->Fin->TH->MAc ?
or, let's say:
SoB->Fin->SoB->Fin->WK->TH->MAc ?

My guess is that he wants to maximise the damage done first.  Having WK early is not useful unless you can get your hands on more than one mod early -- which is not very likely.

Early SoB gives whatever crappy weapons he has initially a little more punch, and by the time he gets a Chaingun or chainfire-capable weapon, it is time to up the ante and make it fire faster.

And why WK before TH?  I suppose it is the need to slap on more Agility mods or Technical mods to make the chainfire weapon less wild in its damage.

That would be my analysis.

You guys are pretty close.

laptop got it summed up quite nicely.
Having Sob 2 at the start allows me to pack a lot of punch to the basic shotgun at the start considering its highly unlikely to find a combat shotty or chaingun just yet. Though I do usualy find a chaingun at level 2 I don't really use it. I only use the chaingun at hell arena or if level 3 has hell knights or I don't find the combat shotty yet, I usualy find the combat shotty on level 3 or 4. The extra speed generally allows me to have faster shooting obviously, now as I don't use a rapid fire weapon that much I just generally have one fast and powerful shotty to take down most of the enemies with and basicly lock them out of my line o sight.

The WK first is just a habbit, there's no real reason why I pick it before TH as I don't really get many mods just yet, I rarely use the plasmagun either before I get ammochain as I try saving cells.
