29th Floor: Perfume, Women's Lingerie and Arch-Viles

LuckyDee:
As long as I'm forcibly taking a break from the game, let's take a moment to take stock of the current situation. I'm going for the A100 Gold, and have made it to 29 so far (highest run up until now was 53, this one currently coming in 2nd place).

I'm a L11 Sharpshooter (SOG3 EE3 MSS WK2 INT2) armed with a stormbolter (so levels 12 and 13 will be SOG again). I have a focused double prepared, and a missile launcher stashed away somewhere for the dirty work, 2 stacks of rockets, 2 stacks of shells and about 10 stacks of 10mm. Armor isn't grand (P-modded blue with a T-modded red as a spare), but I'm only 1 P-mod short of the Cerberus boots. Sidequest: finishing off 1 Mancubus with a slap in the face, so my experience rank rises (though I won't be buggered if this doesn't happen).

Apart from taking time to not make any stupid moves, what else advice could I do with in order to increase my chances of bringing home the gold?

MaiZure:
IROx5 + BAD

LuckyDee:
Can't get BAD, since TAN is blocked, but IRO makes sense. Then again, so do HR and REL, but I guess it depends on whether you wan't to go for speed or for stamina.

ih8regin:
HRx3, RELx2 (well, with HR3 you can disengage and reload), IROx1-2, FINx3 or Fin-Jug to be able to pull out your heavy armament in case of being pwn3d.

LuckyDee:
L40 now, with SOG5 and HR1. Saw my end coming a few levels back, starting in the corner of a room and more or less being trapped by 2 viles and 4 or 5 mancubi. Through the magic of sharpshooting, the viles were dead before anything could act, and on the first shot one of the mancubi was kind enough to blast me a hole in the wall through which I could flee like the Wizzard I am ('He who fights and runs away, lives to run another day!').

Found Malek's armor in the meantime, and completed the Cerberus boots, and so far I seem to have jumped the current difficulty curve and landed on the other side. Time for groceries and lunch, and then back to kicking ass and shoving mud, shoving mud.
