So.. I guess the title says it all. What build would you recommend for AoI? I'm trying to get all the missing bronze/silver badges, but so far I had no luck with Impatience.

It might be because I just managed a full win in AoMC UV (two invulnerability globes on level 23? What am I supposed to do with the lava element?) so it might be just that I'm much less careful now when playing on HNTR.

I believe that this build would be viable against Masterind as well. Most probably I would try to get to melee range and then super-shotgun her ass off.
Btw. that firestorm on the super shotgun turned to be _insanely_ effective. With a bit of luck, I one-shotted Viles.

Actually I'm pretty sure the firestorm on your super shotgun did nothing since the game can't fire 5 shots when you only have 2 in the magazine.  (Same reason the double/super shotguns were not actually as good as advertised, since they only fired twice instead of the listed 3 times).

Actually it was the other way around. The double shotty fired _three_ times while using _only two_ shells (same for super shotgun). And when I firestormed the super shotgun, the difference was _more than noticable_.

But it"s a moot point now. Shotguns can't be firestormed in 0.995 anymore, as I found today. Sounds DoomRL-ish enough that I found the firestorm on an AoSg run.

Wow, THANKS for suggesting a shotty build. In Hell's Armory I found the Jackhammer... from then on it was a breeze. Until the lava pits, that is, where I foolishly killed myself trying to get Lava Silver.

Still, at last I have all the bronze badges, so that's something to celebrate, isn't it?

[ZicherCZ]

Lucky you with that shotty build.
I played AoSg today and instead of Jackhammer, I found both firestorm and sniper packs. Guess I know now who steals my luck ...

I still use Ammochain for AoI. It's my go-to build, and it's hard to argue with that much offensive firepower. Also, then you can carry more armor, which is crucial on the higher difficulty levels.
