[M|AoCn|88%|18|YAVP(YASD)] How do I YAFW?

<< < (2/2)

Tormuse:
I agree that with this build and equipment, you didn't have a chance.  Your best bet would be to drill JC with the Hyperblaster, but you don't have enough cells to finish him and without SOB/EE, you wouldn't do nearly enough damage.  Alternately, if you don't want SOB, you could go for Berserker and charge him with the Chainsaw.  :)  (or Chainsword, since this is AoCn)

SageAcrin:
I would have stuck with the Rev Launcher-it works best from out of LoS, given the nature of it is basically always-hit, and that's basically the only thing your build has going for it, out of LoS damage. Try to stay as far away from him as possible given the nature of the area, and pelt him after teleports.

The problem is that it's basically entirely luck. As other people said, your damage potential is really, really low, and high power BFG wrecks the use of the BFG in cases like this. (I consider the high power/biggest assemblies for BFGs to only be actually good on N! or for Nuclear BFGs. Though currently Biggest Fucking Gun is the only Assembly I'm missing, so it might be better without N! ammo farming than I think.)

Incidentally that setup would have pureed the Mastermind without nukes; Rev Launcher with Intuition to figure out where to corner shoot it against him is very, very good in that fight. Probably would have been better off not going for Full.

Really? Unless you're firing it at full screen a lot, I barely notice a difference. (I think the bonus SoB damage must come in after the falloff is calculated, I can't explain that well otherwise.)

Lots of guns, yes; Rapid, pistols, everything but shotguns, and even double shotguns, I notice some real impact from SoB from. But normal shotguns?

White Rider:
Got a full win on ITYTD last night, JC was pulling out lost souls, cacodemons, hell knights/barons (don't remember which) and revenants even on ITYTD.
So I think it's safe to assume his order of summoned reinforcements are the same per difficulty.

Having said that though, I don't think I've attempted a full win on Cn/OC...

Sereg:
Thanks for all the feedback. I really don't know very much about building - until recently I've just been going for Ammochain in every game(mostly Ao100 attempts, since I figured ammo would be a problem). For this one I went for the intuition and movespeed first, and the higher tier modding after, but I don't really know how efficient either of those is.

I wasn't actually planning on a Full Win, but with an invulnerability orb on the last level of hell and a nuke in my inventory... well, why not try?

I was low on phase ammo and large medkits for that entire run - usually I try to keep at least four or five slots of energy ammo on me(but I burnt most of what I did find, including a battery, on the Cyberdemon), and quite a few medkits, but it was not to be this game.
