Balance suggestions
Matt_S:
Mjollnir is quite a bit of an oddball with its damage. It does boomerang, though. Can't say I'd choose it over any other melee weapon except maybe a combat knife though. It might have some utility as a secondary weapon in AoB for corner-throwing fun or something.
Does the Subtle Knife's BFG Plasma damage mean it gibs things that you kill with it?

Well, it's not going to be Longinus about it-it's not likely to do more than 50 damage tops, even with Berserk and a ton of Brute, so it's no guaranteed gib. (You have to do 200% of the monster's max health to gib it on kill, with a plasma weapon, according to the wiki. 400% with most melee.)
But yeah, it's probably better at that than a normal weapon.

It's sorta S/F/N balancing question. I've already brought some ideas above. I didn't figure yet how 0.9.9.7 actually works, looks like Alchemy is already there... or I'm that lucky again so RNG gives me "alchemic" mods.
About the Frag Shotgun... I can't say for sure (didn't tried it yet) but it's parameters look so purple. Looks like the only problem with it is the fact it is green.

Not for me.
Never in my DoomRL life i saw random chainsaw or random bfg9000.
As for Frag Shotgun: i'm merely stating that it can be useful. I'm not saying it's an awesome weapon or something.
Evilpotatoe:
I agree with most of your points. Nothing should be fully useless, nor OP
New melee weapons :
everyone knows melee was too weak, and needed a buff xD
Bah, I love subtle knife, even if I'll probably never use it. Mjollnir... well, I guess it's useful for melee with juggler. Juggler needed a buff too, right ?
More seriously, I like the increased number of melee weapons. This looks good, especially good for Ao100+, where chainsaw were quite rare. The fact that melee is OP is another problem.
Demolition ammo
Sucks for other reasons. Costs WK2 and F-mod, but knockbacks everything with 1st bullet... so, AOE can't be used effectively. Also, damages are quite weak & can destroy items...
I guess fire damages can be of some use on a gun... but it's 1 game over 1000.
Frag shotty
Looks good to me, except one point : WTF with firing time ? 7d3 is ok. I can take 2.5 sec to recharge if I need to save my ammo, but 1.5 firing time ??? I don't get it.
Sure, it can be useful, but I think it should be improved. I doubt it would be too good with 1s firing time... not moddable, low damage, 4 shells, long reload and shorter ammo stacks... sure, it has a use, but compared to a Jackhammer... :/)
Combat translocator
I like your suggestions. Spamming translocator shots could be very fun, and I doubt stacking enemies aroud stairs would be much abusable (well, it could improve RL/BFG value significantly, but Ithing it could be a good buff). A secondary fire acting like a phase would need some big drawback (e.g. 3+ seconds firing time, and NOT homing, of course)
Bullet proof vest
Will be useless 80% of the times, but it's not a bad armor in early game (quite good against formers or the player, and doesn't reduce ms).
Also, about masteries, from my point of view :
MSv is useless, for said reasons
MSc is... well, useful to get techies badges, or hope for a few lucky nanos, but probably not goot for the rest (even if it only blocks Ber). Getting only F and S really sucks in non normal games, which seems to be THE place where this mastery could shine.
MGK... is weird. Reloading guns automatically is great, but OTOH, I think it's a weak mastery. As said, it gives nothing particular for what it costs. I'll prefer good mods or MCE to improve my char. Btw, my gun runs are MSh, since I want access to WK
I just never tried MEn or MBD... There are reasons for this :)
