Firestorm doesn't work on double shotguns?! Yikes! I'll have to keep note of that. Thank you for telling me; I could have REALLY wasted a firestorm mod.

The idea would be to use ranged attacks so that you take less damage. In practice, it probably depends on a lot of things--like playstyle, and what you find of course. If you find a blaster or trigun, for example, it would probably be worth it to get some SoG and maybe dualgunner. Whiz kid is great because it potentially allows you to increase both offense AND defense, but it can be hard to find just the right mods when you need them. I imagine N! might make things favor a strongly melee build a bit more. You can kill respawning enemies over and over for Vampyre health boosts, right?

If your way works, that's fine; just saying you could try going for a little more ranged offensive strength if you're having trouble surviving. Or if you want to try something different.

Tormuse:
I put in a request for an autosave/game-recovery feature.  I don't know if it will be implemented, but I figure it's worth a try.

I didn't even know that Firestorm could be placed on a double shotgun, or any shotgun, before reading it here.  I imagine placing it on a Jackhammer would be pretty devastating!  :)

That's exactly it.  The sheer volume of enemies to kill (and re-kill)  ;)  in Nightmare make it possible to be berserk ~90% of the time.  I might go for Shottyman in a later game to see how it compares, but building up Iro/TaN/Bru seemed to work pretty well this game.
