If you want to do masterless, remember to be willing to switch weapons depending on the situation.
And don't worry. What the RNG giveth, the RNG taketh away...

Yeah, I just entered City of Skulls for the first time (This rifle and onyx armor has gotten me farther on hard mode than a tactical shotgun on medium). I have nothing but two plasma rifles, one with recharge only ammo and the other with very limited plasma cells. I'm on top of the lever. I know I ought to just skip it, but I can't. Gotta test it out. D:
I had no right surviving that. I suppose I should be thankful for the 6 small medpacks I had refreshing my tactics so I could spam Arena Master's Staff.
That said, if since I survive this, I wonder if I should triple power this onyx armor for my all around one.

You need at least 2 kinds of weapons: general killing weapon, and one area control weapon that may be close ranged (shotgun) or far ranged (rocket launcher and family).
Masterless is literallyb about juggling those two kinds of weapons for the situations that you are meeting. City of Skulls with Plasma rifles is doable, but you better have good reloading and ridiculously fast firing speeds.
If not, Phase devices are almost mandatory.

Nah, had one but abused Arena Master's Staff (Check my edited post). Probably used too many medpacks but kept me alive.
That said, I do think I'm gonna keep this missile launcher I found after killing them all, and go masterless but grab intuition 2 to supplement for it.

Better post that mortem once you're done, I wonder how it ended. Nevermind, found it. Re: plasma guns: I've found they eat through ammo at an insane rate, the couple of times I tried working with one. Personally, I'd only plan on using one again on a MAc build (or possibly as a backup weapon on something like MSh).
And indeed, both masterless builds and master traits have their pros and cons. As long as you do at least a little thinking ahead, you can easily change course during a run if you feel like it.
Klear:
I would strongly advise you to go for a master trait as soon as possible. Most of them are really that good.
Using the staff against lost souls is kinda suboptimal, since it deals fire damage which the lost souls resist, but if it worked, who am I to argue with it? In any case, if you feel like experimenting with special levels (and you probably should, since you don't know them all yet), be sure to have a homing phase handy to make a quick escape if things go badly... not every special level can be escaped easily...
Oh, and bulk mod on a nuclear plasma rifle is a good idea, since it allows you to shoot more before waiting to recharge.
