I've finally made masochist platinum. Phew!
At first I was trying shottyhead, but for some reason I couldn't get it right, so I switched to Cateye. My plan was get Cateye as normal and then quickly dodgemaster so I can pass cybie easily. By the time I reach the mastermind, I should have a full tactical set and be able to outrun her. Fine theory, but it took me a while to learn to execute it. What really helped me was realizing that cateye is awesome with missile laucher. More so if you don't have to worry about health globes getting destroyed. I tried to carry at least 4 full backpacked stacks of rockets but it was never enough for me. Too bad that I didn't find a nano pack =)
Anyway, this run was pretty unremarkable, but a hilarious thing happened in one of the prior attempts. I was almost dead, but managed to reach Cybie who spawned a few tiles from me. I activated running to be safe and with a speed of about 0.3 moves per second moved into free space in front of him and started moving from side to side to dodge his first rocket. Since I was so fast, it took quite some time until he decided to shoot - and he shot me right into my face, killing me instantly. Then I realized that I accidentally skipped spider's lair and so didn't have dodgemaster yet...
Anyway, a few runs later (once getting killed by the mastermind, damn my cockiness) and I'm just one platinum badge short of my record.
