Of course, the Hurt me plenty part might just be because I spent so much time in 0.9.9.4 messing around with UV challenge runs :)
I decided to go for the old standby with a Ammochain + Whizkid run. Even after the MAc nerf a couple of versions back, it's still a fairly effective combination.
I was lucky enough to find the mod packs for a tactical shotgun, which helped a lot early on, especially in the Wall. But after that, the RNG was really stingy with exotics and uniques the whole game... and when I finally found the Necroarmor, I didn't have enough health for it to be worth using for a couple more levels.
Overall, I like this new version. The AI improvements kept the game unpredictable, though I think it also the last couple of levels easier than they would have been in 0.9.9.4 -- instead of staying clustered in the middle, all the Arch-viles came charging toward me to get cut down before there were any corpses to revive. The early game got quite a bit harder, with the level 8 bruiser brothers and level 16 Cyberdemon(!), and the enemies on the wall, the halls of carnage, armory, and so on harder to get good position on. Music is great, as always.
The Spider Mastermind is brutal; I took one burst from her before deciding to take the coward's way out and use the lava element to kill her.
Maybe not quite as impressive of a run as Tormuse's Conquerer HMP mortem from yesterday,but I was still quite amazed with myself when I pulled this one off.
