I was the closest I've ever been. Perhaps if I had dared to scavenge a little more for medkits, armor or a nuke, or deigned to use my rockets...whatever. Still a good run. I opened up with the laser rifle first (only one magazine), then followed with the gatling gun. I tried to lead her in a circle around a pillar. Seriously, if I had just a little more something I would have won.

[LuckyDee]

Damn, that was close ;(

How did Survivalist work out? It's one of the traits I never bothered trying, thinking something more offernsive or swift might do better - in this case, only 1 level of SoB (which I realise was unavailable to MSv) would have probably made all the difference...

[Charleh]

I never felt like the 'extra HP and toughness' traits were that useful running a shottie build, but they make perfect sense for a tank style build where you sometimes need to stand still and go chainfire

Might give it a try - unlucky though, a nuke and some invulnerability would have helped a lot :D

[LuckyDee]

a nuke and some invulnerability would have helped a lot

Even just a nuke would have been enough, technically (partial victory, but victory nonetheless).

I don't think 'tank' builds work at all, and in this case I think that was proven right in an incredibly disappointing way.

I know I should branch out, and I do occasionally, but Survivalist is my favorite Master trait for regular runs. It's versatile and it suits my playstyle. The other Master traits I go for are the ones appropriate to AoMr and AoSh runs (i haven't tried the former yet in 0.9.9.7; Army of the Dead is pretty cool). Survivalist lets you overheal with medkits and have a chance to completely shrug off otherwise damaging attacks, I believe.

I WOULD have scavenged some more but I was pretty close to death during most of my time in Hell; I was pretty skint for stuff except ammo (shells and 10mm that is).

I've come to realize the value in speed(I know how to run, strafe and use Agility mods now), so I'm less of a tank than I used to be. Still satisfying to push forward and mow down everything in your path though.

Funnily enough I actually had a nuke in Dis on an AoMr run. I forgot to activate it. *facepalm* That's Newkirk down there in my signature. Might have the mortem up here on the forums, then again I might not (it's so embarrassing arrghghgh)

The way I was raised by the other good people on this forum, it's avoiding damage that will further your play instead of being able to take it.

If you want a general build that prepares you for this, I'd like to suggest Cateye, starting with INT-INT - this has worked miracles for me. You'll see enemies coming before they can see you and get insight in movement / behaviour patterns while at the same time allowing you to take a tactical position for opening fire. Works with every type of weapon save melee.

You won't believe the number of times I looked at my mortem and thought "Crap, I had [insert life-saver here] with me all the time". It's easy to lose track of these things in the fray.

[Trar]

I might try Cateye. Thanks for the advice.
