This run was a lot of fun.  :)  I wanted to try an Angel of 100 Blademaster build; other than that, I didn't really have any goals in mind.

Agility-modded Phaseshift Armor and agility-modded Phaseshift Boots accompanied by Hellrunner 2 and the Scout's natural speed boost made me ridiculously fast.  (0.2 sec/move while berserk, 0.15 sec/move after I got HR 3)  And since I had Blademaster, most of my attacks took zero time, so it was like everyone was moving in slow motion.  The only drawback was that if anyone ever did get a shot at me, I got thrown around like a rag doll, because of all the increased knockback.  :)  And once I got the Onyx mod on the armour, it effectively made both the armour and boots invulnerable because of the Phaseshift set bonus.  Speaking of which, it theoretically would have made my Acid Spitter more powerful because I'd be safe from acid damage from reloading, but I decided I'd rather cut up my enemies with the Chainsword instead.  :)  (In fact, I barely used any of my other weapons besides the Chainsword at all!)

For the first half or so of the game, I just headed straight for the exit on each level, but once I was well established enough, I pretty much cleared every level after that.

Zero attack time on melee kills is why the Butcher's Cleaver is so awesome too.  It made mincemeat of the first section of Hellgate on one of my melee only runs.  It didn't look like you had any trouble at all once you basically became Flash.

Also, you make these 100 level runs look so easy.  I wish I could at least finish a 100 level run (or the game on anything except Easy for that matter) like you can.

Also, you make these 100 level runs look so easy.  I wish I could at least finish a 100 level run (or the game on anything except Easy for that matter) like you can.

It's just something that comes with time.  If you play enough, you learn things like when to fight, and when to run, and when and how to take advantage of terrain.  Most importantly, I think, you learn to be patient and not charge into danger you can't handle and also to watch your health, especially while fighting more dangerous enemies.

FYI, I just checked my old mortems from when I discovered this game last year and it took me 44 attempts before my first win at ITYTD and 79 before my first win at HNTR.  I wasn't ambitious enough to try Ao100 until my 118th game and I didn't win at it until my 148th game.  If I make it look easy, it's because I've had lots of practice.  :)
