[N!|Ao100|90%|95|YASD] SOOOoooo close!
« on: September 08, 2011, 22:55 »

Level 95?  LEVEL 95?!?  ARRRRGH!  @^@%^@&$&

*Ahem*

I was doing great up until I ran up against the Cyberdemons and I got caught off-guard by their new AI.  If I'd known they behave that way, I probably would've invested in Dodgemaster  (When I got my Centurial Diamond for 0.9.9.3, I got Dodgemaster and found I didn't really use it)  The Tactical Armour that I made on level 13 lasted me until level 94 before a Cybie destroyed it and I fell pretty quickly after that.  I burned through all 6 of my large medpacks in the last couple of levels and when it was clear I wouldn't survive, I set off my nuke so I could at least take as many of them with me as I could.  :)

I got the Scavenger Master Trait, thinking that disassembling unique weapons would yield unique mods and that I could get nano or onyx mods from my Trigun and BFG10K, but no such luck.  I did get some Firestorm mods, though, which I used to make myself a Storm Bolter Pistol which, it turns out, kicks serious ass!  :)  There were several occasions when ammo was scarce, so having a varied selection of weapons I could juggle between was quite useful.

 61 brave souls have ventured into Phobos:

 3 didn't read the thermonuclear bomb manual.
 And 1 couldn't handle the stress and committed a stupid suicide.

 3 souls destroyed the Cyberdemon...
 1 sacrificed itself for the good of mankind.

I understand you have a decent chance of unique mods from scavenging uniques, but I've only gotten exotics as well.
Lava armor + various new boots assemblies/findables seems pretty useful.
Were the melee weapons useful enough just with juggler and no brute/berserker?

note to self: take a quick peek at HNTR cyberdemon before getting into trouble in challenges.

I've had trouble with doing UV/N! as a Technician because of the lack of damage at the beginning due to trying to get to Scavenger ASAP.
You're build here is proof of concept for my next attempt that I should just add that damage quickly at the beginning and THEN work the technician angle.

Try it again!

Yeah, I had never tried starting with SoB before, and I guess it worked surprisingly well!  It'll be a while before I try again, I think; I killed two days playing this and I have to try to break away from this game and get out more.  You made this game too addictive, Kornel!  :D

Were the melee weapons useful enough just with juggler and no brute/berserker?

They were helpful from time to time, especially if I happened to find a berserk or invulnerability globe.  I was trying to assemble a double chainsaw, but I couldn't find any power mods.  The irritating thing is I found tons of power mods before I found the chainsaw, but threw them away because I couldn't do anything with them.  Murphy's law, right?  :)
