I made it!
I've found that the difference between at least a semi-successful Ao100 run and YASD before getting the master trait is finding some nice armour - the random armour drops can't keep up with the increasingly hostile environment. In this run, it was an energy-shielded vest, ABP modded eventually. 50% resistance to all the damage types that count is really great. Once I got berserker, zerk moved this number up to 95%. Hard to top that passive defense.
Later on I found Malek's Armor, which meant more speed with less resistances (but still nice 90% when zerked). I ended up switching them randomly after a few levels (or if the energy-shielded vest got too damaged).
I relied on one of the two laser rifles I found with a tactical (and later missile) launcher as backup. Everything was pretty smooth once I got going - not even the occasional Cybies, lava and agony elementals gave my any trouble.
Level 32 gave me the Hell Staff, which was very useful to me.
There were two... bumps... in this run. Somewhere around level 50 I forgot to keep track of ammo (kinda easy with ammochain) and found that I only have the 40 shots left in my rifle. Luckily there was a room filled with arachnotrons who were kind enough to share their cells with me. Second time the same thing happened on level 99. Oops! I loaded on rockets and killed most of the last level with the missile launcher and fists (at least I put the Bru 2 into good use). I think I used more large medkits there than on any other level, since I had to get into some dangerous fights and I didn't really care about saving them (and I had an impressive hoard by then). In the end it worked out pretty well.

Too bad I got the bronze one somewhere on the road... In any case, since I restarted, this is my first badge that I didn't have previously, so that's something I guess.
