BTW (and forgive me admins if there was a better place to post this :) ):

The massive death-toll on low difficulties is experimentation, mostly, as this is my first version of DoomRL.
That said, I'd really like some feedback from fellow players:

Very good one! Gratz!

And several questions:
1)You count SoaB as usefull perk? Personally i when picked it haven't realized a big difference. + 3 dmg isn't worth 3 levels imho, you can spend this levels on Iron Man, for example, which is much more usefull.
2)Why you haven't been in Mortuary this time? Have you ever been in it? Have you ever cleared it?))

And one more, if you will go Nightmare!(tm), post any your suggestions in my topic, how you think to make it.

Thanks alot :)

I think I mentiond SoaB on my post in the Strategies page. If I haven't, I'll mention it here in a sec.

As for the Mortuary, I've cleared it before, and didn't do it now for that reason exactly. I knew what's there, and I didn't need the equipment enough to risk YASD.
The AA's cool, but TaN(3) closes the gap and more... And SoaB(3) outclasses most advanced weapons anyway... The possible bonuses were too marginal...

It was there, but anyway:

"Chaingun+SoaB(3)=32.5 avgdmg per trigger, 6.5 per shot, piercing almost any monster armor value at mindmg=4 per shot, with ammo carefuly watched taking out beasties through the late-game."
That's almost double damage, and much more if you consider the armor-piercing effect.

To clear my point on a number basis:

Normal -
   3.5-1=2.5
   3.5-2=1.5(!)
   3.5-3=0.5(...)
SoaB(3) -
   6.5-1=5.5 (more than double damage!)
   6.5-2=4.5 (triple damage!!!)
   6.5-3=3.5 (what's it called? Septuple dmage? MUAHA!)
0 armor monsters don't do much anyway, by this point.
Also, since the Wiki says Cybie has 4 armor, it causes him avgdmg=2.5 mindmg=0, compared with the normal avgdmg=-0.5 mindmg=-3. That makes the avgdmg infinitely better with SoaB(3).

And: 3dmg=6% of Doomguy's 50 HP. *5 from a chaingun, that's 30%+weapon damage.
The way I see it, if it hurts me - it hurts them.

IMHO that works better than the 30 HPs from Ironman because 1) I use ToN(3) anyway, so I rarely have life issues as it is; 2) it enables me to kill Knights and Barons MUCH faster, meaning they shoot MUCH less, if they ever get close enough for the AI to allow them AND I conserve ammo, which for me runs out much faster than medkits do.

Damage can never be reduced below 1 -> every hit does at least 1 point of damage.
So the minimum & average chaingun damage against Cybie is 1 per shot (5 per attack) and 2.5 avg and 1 min with Soab(3). Of course you could just argue that it's 2.5 times as much damage on average but I'll rather invest three skill picks into Brute(2) + Berserker(1) and chop Cybie down with 3-4 hits from the Ludicrous Slicer. :p

mindmg=1? My bad, and a nice thing to hear :P

I'm really not one to melee. I keep that spirit for the Hacks and Crawls, where you're less often blasted from afar while pushing forwards... But I'll check it out :)
The only time I really managed to make progress in AoB, I met an unexpected demise at the hands of the AoD (at least 48% in one hit. I was like, "WTF mate?"). I've since heard he's got that Ludicrous Slicer(tm? :) ) you mentioned, and will certainly try THAT again!
