That is besides the point.
Marksmanship Diamond was never successful before because people said it involved an impossible strategy.
You, sir, have done the impossible.
Multiple times.
'nuff said.
Tormuse:
Ah, thanks! :) Well, in that case, I guess I should outline my strategy a bit more...
Getting Vampyre trait is the key to victory; once you get that, the rest becomes fairly easy...ish... ;) For the first few levels, I just headed straight for the stairs and left most of my enemies alive. Chained Court is a huge boon for all the berserk packs; it's the best way to accumulate enough experience to get Vampyre, and/or go down enough stairs until Invulnerability globes start spawning.
Once I had Vampyre, any level that had at least one Pain Elemental got cleared out. I would use the lost souls to regenerate my health and charge up my berserk power, then I would go on a berserk rampage, punching out as much as I could until either my berserk ran out, or my health got too low and then I would return to the Pain Elemental and repeat. Corpses could be removed by standing over them and letting enemies with splash damage hit me. When I was ready to leave the level, I would lure the Pain Elemental over to the stairs, kill it, and get myself zerked up for the next level.
Another tactic I used a few times was to corner-shoot at enemies to attract their attention and lure them into an isolated and vulnerable position. I got imps, Barons, Knights, and at one point, a Mancubus, this way without even being berserk. (It was something I couldn't do during my Demonic Diamond game, so it made this run easier)
gilgatex:
I'm seeing a lot of these types of reports. It makes me think that vampyre is a little overpowered.
Edit: I'm still VERY impressed with the God Hand rank. You have 15 more diamonds than I do, and that's just crazy :D
Tormuse:
Nooooo! Don't take my Vampyre away! :P (Thanks for the praise, though) :)
Also, I'd just like to say that I would never have discovered DoomRL if not for a link from Curly's World of Freeware. (Someone suggested I plug the site and it's non-profit, so I think it's okay) Some of the links there seem to be broken lately, but there are a lot of great games freely available there for anyone who has some time to kill. :)
ParaSait:
Okay, that's it. I'm convinced.
TORMUSE = SATAN
Edit: I wonder will you try getting ALL the badges now? :P
