So this run is another failure on my attempts to move up a difficulty (up to Hurt Me Plenty) since I've gotten a few full wins. I was looking to get some silvers and some golds here, but no such luck.

This run was odd for a couple of reasons: I got to Phobos 5 before I got my first armor, but the RNG was generous with medkits. And from that point on, this would be what I would refer to as "the armor run". So much good stuff in terms of mod drops, assembled cerberus armor after dipping into Mortuary (mortuary suuuuuuuucks. Wasted a lot of ammo here) and then dipped into erebus to get my lava element, and see if I could get any additional armor exotics/uniques. Annnnnd I ran out of ammo. Just as lava element spawns. So I got stuck trying to punch him to death, without brute, and only one rank of SoB. I don't think I was actually doing any damage to him. I didn't think to put on Shielded armor for the melee resist until I had run out of Medkits. =( YASD.
 
The reason I got hell runner, dodgemaster, finesse and whizkid instead of MAD was another one of those odd things about this run. I could have sworn I was doing this as a scout, so when I picked the run up after I saved it, I just absentmindedly picked up hellrunner since I was getting hit a lot more than I would have liked. But that blocks.... ALL of the marine master traits (Except ammochain).

Almost had cyberdemon head, but I messed up one of my sidesteps when he tried to close on me; I'll get it next time, I'm certain.

Hmm...  yeah, even with the Shielded Armour, I wouldn't have tried taking on the Lava Elemental in melee without Berserker trait.  Not only does he have a lot of armour, but he regenerates his hitpoints!  (I found that out the hard way, coincidentally, also in an AoSh game)  :|

And yeah, Mortuary suuuuuuuucks for this challenge; I wouldn't have tried that either.  :)
