Wean Me From My Shotgun

<< < (3/3)

Creepy:
Yeah, dualgunner going straight-up DPS can get you an insane amount of firepower. They step into view, you can either blast them apart before they move or run for cover.

Though I prefer Sharpshooter builds for battlefield control, but that takes a long time to get rolling and has issues against the Cyberdemon. Dualgunner is a lot easier to rely on.

Sirdec:
Also something important for marksmens : is getting a feel of when a ennemy will act. Shooting 2-3 times depending on fire speed then sidestepping. That allows for somewhat damageless fighting in the open, VERY important early game and still usefull later.
Just what a shottyman would do but with more control over when who does what.

LuckyDee:
Thanks for all your input; after a few false starts I've taken up AoMr again (on MBD), and it looks like I'm getting the hang of it. Once I get this to work, I'll give this build a try on Ao100, see how well it performs there.

In the meantime, keep 'em coming. The tip about timing your actions was really good, but getting that one right will take oodles of experience, especially since fire times take reduction upon reduction in the course of the game.

I somewhat disagree that movement speed is not important. If you don't have MCe or Int 2, then it is straight up damage mitigation for the first time you see enemies. Because let's face it: you're not going to shift+5 an entire level unless it's a city map.

AlterAsc:
Of course i won't wait.I don't do it all, except in HA.And i'm not saying that having high ms is useless, i'm saying that there's no point in firing first if your enemy still gets a shot at you.
