I ain't much of a pro at this game yet, but great googly moogly did I just have a good run. I wasn't finding much of anything early on, but I really wanted to make a chainsword for no real reason. After not being able to find a power mod, I decided to just make my Chainsaw piercing, which helped a lot early Deimos. Early game was rough in general, lots of running away and warping around. I basically skipped half of the anomaly, because I just wasn't strong enough at that point. However, I rocked the Cathedral pretty hard and got the Lance, and from there was pretty smooth sailing. Going though the Mortuary was ridiculously fun, because I just berserked through all of it like some sort of human blender. After getting the Angel Armor, it was even more smooth sailing and I kinda started messing around too much... it's always what kills me. So many mancubus... anyways, I cleared out the lava pits and was about to use the lava element to go up on the spider, but I was trying to save it for the last possible second, since there's a short timer on it (I believe? This was the first time I got this deep on HNTR, or even cleared the lava pits), and the spider mastermind only needed to hit me twice to down me.... if I had some more medkits at the tail end I woulda been fine, but damn mancubuses kept blowin' em up.
And yes, I'm a packrat with mods. Every time I get one I think "WHAT CAN I ASSEMBLE WITH THESE" instead of just buffing weapons when I need the buffs. I carried a combat knife through hell just to make a chainsword, for god's sake. It's just a LITTLE silly. I was also sad I got the SNIPER pack during angel of berserk. The RNG gods are definitely toying with me.
As for the build, I'm surprised how well melee works once you get berserker. I probably should have taken dodgemaster, but I wanted to build more cool stuff, so I went for finesse. Which was still pretty handy. Maybe next AoB I'll try out Marine. Or maybe tech... tinkering is way too fun.
