Quick questions thread!
thelaptop:
Under a horribly broken DM, it was since you could dodge all non hit-scan projectiles. MGK is great if you have to take on a swarm of weak-ish things, since the auto-reload per kill + speed in movement are your friends. But when you are taking on a pack of bigger things, the dodging + speed will help you get cover faster than just dancing all over the battlefield and killing 'em faster. It's an awesome duelling master trait though, since you have great mobility to assist you.
LuckyDee:
You're right about that, of course, but in the case being discussed (single opponent who fires single shots), running for cover is pointless. I'd say more dangerous even, due to the rockets' blast radius. Personally, I'd keep as far away from cover as I could get in this particular case, seeing as you're probably also going to need room to back up once Cybie decides he'll have a better chance when he gets closer...

Is pistol-whipping still disallowed on strongman badges etc., or has that already been fixed? I think I read that it is fixed, but I'd hate to be wrong about it.
Edit: It's bad enough that when I get to hell on my strongman runs, I always forget to put longinus away =(

If you actually kill an enemy with your fists, it shouldn't matter what weapon you have equipped, the kill is supposed to count as fists. However, if an enemy dies that you didn't kill directly (e.g. self-death, friendly-death, lava), the kill will count as your currently equipped weapon. So, running around with a weapon equipped is not advisable when going for Strongman badges. Without digging into the code again, I'm not quite 100% sure though.
Also, there might be a bug with calculating which weapon was used to kill an enemy when Juggler is equipped in the current version. I don't remember if that was fixed before or after release.
Klear:
OK, thanks. I won't be getting juggler, so that is no an issue with me. I tend to clear the entrance only to realize I didn't put my starting pistol away, though, so I wanted to know if I should continue with that run.
