 Before him 421 brave souls have ventured into Phobos:
 381 of those were killed.
 10 of those were killed by something unknown.
 12 didn't read the thermonuclear bomb manual.
 And 8 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...
 2 sacrificed itself for the good of mankind.
 8 killed the bastard and survived.

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

So this is not what I expected when I started this run, I was actually just looking for uniques. Initially I was going to go for a single pistol build like I usually do for Ao100, mainly getting WKx2, SoGx5 and SoBx5. Normally I get SoB early for the combat shotgun then get SoG a bit later when I'm a little more stable, but this time I wanted to see if I could pull it off without getting SoB before SoG.

Around dlevel 10 or so I find the assault shotgun and a couple of levels later I found a power mod for it, making it's damage equal to the tactical shotgun, which I then ditched. At this point I figure that since I've already done a number of pistol Ao100 runs I might as well try a shotgun one. Well it was probably only 5-10 levels later while I was still grabbing levels of HR that I decided to try a hybrid shotgun/melee character, mainly because ammo was going quickly. I wasn't planning on any master traits, I figured I'd just grab Brute x5 and berserker and leave it at that. So I start grabbing brute, grab berserker, then on level 30 I find a chainsaw.

At this point I still only had a 3d5 knife and wasn't even bothering to use melee but the chainsaw was a very welcome find. I slap on a bulk mod that I had and keep going. Within a dlevel or two I had found a power mod and gained the third level of brute. Then I pull up the trait screen to try to decide what to take next and that is when I saw something that I never had seen before, Blademaster was available to take. I always take vampyre for melee builds and for a lot of N! games, so I've never bothered to even consider blademaster. But since it was available and vampyre was blocked I figured what the hell. On level 35 I get blademaster and have a BP chainsaw, needing just one more power mod to make the double chainsaw.

Level 36 is where it all starts to get fuzy. I enter the level to find that it's a cave level full of pain elementals. Not a big deal since I've been using shotguns all game, but then I see the power mod I need. I run over and grab it, making the double chainsaw. I figure I could get some berserk off the chainsaw then finish up with the shotgun. Blademaster was great for killing what was around me, but then I had to take a step which generally resulted in me losing health. I spend a large healing, still with the chainsaw. That's when I remember there was a supercharge globe in the middle of the room. So I make my way over, take some more damage and grab it. Judging by the rate of damage I realized I could clean up the entire level with the chainsaw giving me enough berserk for hopefully a level or two. I kill everything and leave.

I enter level 37 with a solid berserk, clear the level and move on, expecting the berserk to run out on the next level. Except it doesn't. I keep going and every five levels or so I'd drop a stack of ammo and put a large med pack in its place. I still wanted to have a backup plan for when the berserk ran out but I wasn't using the ammo so it had to go. This is the point where I'm not really sure what happened, because I was clearing every level with little regard to my health, the placement of lava, the number of mancubi firing at me etc. I was just running through every level as fast as possible, killing everything, grabbing the powerups along the way and moving on. I do remember level 96 was a lava elemental cave, I spent a grand total of ~45 seconds running around killing them before moving on.

To summarize, I'm not really sure if it was the double chainsaw, brute x5, blademaster or the combination of all three, but there was not a single moment after level 36 that I wasn't berserked. Unfortunately I didn't get any new uniques, but the run was still a pleasant surprise. Oh yeah I completely forgot about the firestorm mods. I found one and decided it would go great on a hyperblaster, unfortunately the one I had already modded and in the time it took me to find another plasma rifle I end up in a small room with two more. The amazing part is I actually stopped to look at the mods because this was during the perma-zerk. I eventually did make the firestorm hyperblaster, but by that point I was no longer actually firing weapons so I can only assume that it was good.

Edit: I just remembered that this was actually the second time I found 3 firestorm mods during an Ao100 run. This was the first: http://forum.chaosforge.org/index.php/topic,3648.0.html

I think MBm's free action from killing actually helps melee characters kill faster -- it is more offensive than the usual MVm route.  It's really nice how your build up of traits unconsciously gave you access to MBm.

Grats on the YAAM on Ao100 UV!  =D
