This was a good run. I'm quite happy with the build - with the focus on passive defense, I felt quite safe most of the time. I did have problems with ammo later on though, when nightmare arachnotrons replaced the regular ones. They are much harder to farm for cells. I guess ammochain or a melee build will be required for me to beat this challenge.
I played masterless most of the game, eventually taking entrenchment to get a bit more protection when things got nasty. I was considering scavenger for a bit, but I didn't want to part with berserker. It was a good choice, since Ber saved my ass a couple of times, allowed me to occasionally melee to save on ammo, and most importantly, I didn't find a single unique and just one special weapon - the missile launcher. Other than that I found acid-proof boots twice, an onyx armour, hell staff (that was at least a little useful) and that's it, I think.
Looking at the graveyard, it seems there were only 6 enemies left in the level, so I must have missed somebody in the earlier levels. If I did win this run, I would be seriously pissed off to find out it wasn't a YAAM.
Oh, and it took me full day, since I left it running while I was sleeping and at work today =)
Edit: I just noticed that this run constitues 1/7th of my entire playtime in this version. Cool.
