[Xtremekiwi]

A few days after the Aosh run, I went for another AoP run. I had a very great run, I had a missile launcher, a Grammaton Cleric Beretta, an assault shotgun, I was in a solid position to beat AoP for the first time.

Then I got to Spider's Lair. The problem is that I used up pretty much al of my rockets, which was pretty much my main damage-dealing method on the Cyberdemon. Well, it would have been had I not used everything up, leaving only the assault shotgun and the beretta against the heavily armoured juggernaut that was the Cyberdemon.

I actually got hin down to Severely wounded before he shot me and brutally murdered me. *sigh*. And I had such good items. An assault shotgun and a Grammaton Cleric Beretta...oh well.

Well, at least I have a solid idea of what to go for: Cateye build with missile launcher main and shotgun/tactical shotgun offhand with a chaingun/plasma rifle for backup.

Why dont you put nuclear plasma in off-hand?

[LuckyDee]

I was about to ask why you didn't do the Halls of Carnage, but then I understood which challenge you were doing. I haven't tried AoP myself, yet, so knowing the the BFG will be out of reach beforehand will likely be a big help.

But then I'd probably go for a build with better chances of dodging stuff, like MGK or MSh...

I forgot that it loads when in off-hand. I just went in with Beretta and Shotgun, hoping that it would be enough.

I'd imagine a Cateye build to be a good choice when you're avoiding damage, namely you'll see and kill enemies before they get into attack range.
And yeah, I did'nt do Halls of Carnage because normally it's self-sufficient with the Supercharges. Which is one of the things you can't use in AoP.
Also, there's a BFG in City of Skulls. I did'nt do it because it was the City of Skulls.
