So, after my first run where a bullet shortage lead to my eventual downfall, I had 19 more runs, out of which only one really took off (As in, made it anywhere past CC+) and which ended in a way that maybe I should make a YASD post about it. However, today I started and took off pretty well. After succesfully taking out a demon-filled vault with minimal damage, that gave me the experience to really take off.

 61 of those were killed.

 5 souls destroyed the Mastermind...
 5 killed the bitch and survived.

Maybe nuking level 23 was'nt necessary, but I did'nt want to chance having a repeat of my 1'st HMP run where I ran out of bullets in the Lava Pits.
Plasma shield allowed me to kill the SM without resorting to the lava element, but I still had it just in case.
Probably the biggest recurring problem I had was a shortage of med-packs. At Hell's Armory I had 7 large med-packs. By the time I beat the Cyberdemon I only had one. But I still pushed through with my reward being my first HMP win. Also, went low on bullets, but this time the 3 10mm ammo chains (Hell's Arena, Hell's Armory and the Vaults) kept me supplied.
Don't know what to do now. Still haven't completed AoSh on HNTR yet, so maybe I should do that.

Still without SoG3, eh?
Congratulations.

[Xtremekiwi]

Still without SoG3, eh?
Congratulations.

Heh, no, not yet. Maybe I should replace Finesse with SoG3 and then take the 2 Reloaders.

[AlterAsc]

If you're not convinced:
Your firespeed with dual pistols SoG2 and Fin1 is 0.85*0.6*1.2 = ~ 0.61s per dualshot.
With SoG3: 0.4*1.2 = 0.48s and you deal 1 more damage per shot.
There's almost no point in taking Fin for pistol builds other than for WK.

[Creaphis]

For me that "almost" is a "definitely" and I'm a whizkid lover. If you can get to a high enough level to get SoG5, then your firespeed will be at the absolute minimum (0.1 seconds per shot) even without any points in finesse.
