No; if a master trait blocks traits, those traits cannot be taken at ANY point in the run, neither before learning the master nor after it.

If a moderator could merge this with the QQ thread (located here), that would be excellent. Also, welcome to the forums!

Thats what i figured. Thanks :D
Im trying to do AoM on hmp and i was working on a build.
Btw whats a good way to go against the cathedral? xD Bob XIII got murdered cause he didnt bring a any melee weapons, but i wondered if that would have changed anything vs the angel of death, since i didnt have any melee perks.

Generally the best strategy is to avoid it and just take the regular stairs down on Phobos Hell level 1, unless you're playing Angel of Berserk. If you want to clear it, you'll need brute 2, berserker and a chainsaw.

would it be possible to take him out using hell wave or the such? or atleast damaging him enough that you could battle him?

If you've got time, you could do Game Hunter's strategy of running round the outside of the Cathedral, throwing combat knives at him, then picking them up again, and repeating.
However, it'll take a lot longer if you aren't on Angel of Max Carnage, and it's not a very efficient strategy and is only really an option if you want Longinus Diamond (which involves clearing Unholy Cathedral on UV or N! without Brute, and therefore Berserker).
There's also the Hatred Skull, but you'll still need a chainsaw, several large medpacks and red armours to have a chance at killing him before berserk runs out.

It'll take off around 1/3 of his HP on HNTR or HMP difficulties, if it works at all - I'm not sure if he can take damage from fire, as he is immune to lava.
If you're just looking for experience and are invulnerable, you can nuke the level - but you won't get the reward.

I just beat the game in 19 minutes and 3 seconds.  I got the Compet-n Gold Cross (for beating it in under 20 minutes) but I did not get the Compet-n Silver cross (for beating it in under 30 minutes).  Is this intended behavior?

Pretty sure it's intended, along with the UAC Star and Icarus Cross sets.

Is acid hitting a nuke a Bad Thing? (a wave of acid is coming, the nuke has not been deployed - it's just on the ground.  I'm just going to leave the level, but it'd be nice to know)

Acid swallowing up a nuke once it's deployed doesn't have any unusual effect. However, deploying a nuke in an existing pool of acid is a dangerous proposition.

I noted that AoMr is rated "EASY", while AoSh is rated "Medium". It seems to me that AoSh is pretty easier than AoMr.
I'm missing something?

Well, they're somewhat subjective.  I find the early game MUCH easier in Shotgunnery, but the late game much easier in Marksmanship - for example, I haven't been able to beat UV AoSg, but I think I won HNTR AoSg before AoMr.  I think AoB has generally been the easiest since I started playing (arguable even with the berserk bug in 0.991, definitely in 0.992/0.993) but has gotten harder in this one.

I recently won HNTR AoSG, and I hardly reached lev 14 of HNTR AoMr.
I'm not ready for any AoB... ^_^'

Definitely subjective.  It took me about 2 hours to beat AoB (which is "Very Hard"), but it took me several days to beat AoMr.  I still haven't beaten AoSh... it gets quite difficult near the end.
