OMVFG Shamblers. So many Shamblers. Shamblers fucking *everywhere*...

In retrospect, I wonder if Dodgemaster would have let me sidestep all of them. Maybe. Worth remembering for next time. Still, where would I have gone... they were everywhere...

I think Lava Elementals need to start dropping their Elements on Ao100 - those would be incredibly useful.

This run was looking fairly solid, although Nightmare Arachnotron caves were causing me some difficulty. I had also lost YAAM due to a Mancubus hiding from me all the way back up at level 50 or so on a nuke level, so that was already gone. Still, I was fairly confident in my ability to finish the run, and then this happened. 337 would have been a great floor to have a chain of 3x Invulnerability orbs...

*sigh*

Oh well. There's always next time.

YAAM was blown, you had homing phases in your inventory... I'm guessing you got mobbed unexpectedly? Or are you standing on the stairs already?

[Sereg]

I was still going to kill everything to make a point. I missed one and only one, and technically, I killed that one once already before it got resurrected, and killed it again when the nuke went off =P To be completely honest, the idea of phasing to the stairs and just leaving didn't even occur to me. I did consider a homing phase as a means of escape, but since the stairs down were in the same room I started in, I decided to risk the random teleport of the Hell Staff, hoping for a safer area. Since I died instantly on that landing, I expect the same would have happened with a homing phase.

If it had been the first thing I tried upon entering the level, I might have gotten out alive, but I didn't actually consider teleporting until the first volley took off 58% of my HP. I started a chainfire when I entered, hoping to kill some of them and thin out the incoming damage before they woke up, since they're inactive for a few turns upon entering the level, and I hoped enough of them would miss and the ones that hit wouldn't do dangerous amounts of damage that I'd be able to survive long enough to clear the room to the point of safety.

I don't really know much about fighting shamblers... I avoid them like the plague on special levels, and most of the ones in AAo666 die before they can attack, so I don't really know how their attacks work, or even what kind of damage they do. I don't know if they can be dodged, or if they can miss, or really anything about them.

[White Rider]

I personally dislike using the Hell Staff as a phase device. If you find that your landing spot sucks and you need to run, you can't. (Unless you're playing Technician and can pop a medkit)

The main thing you should know about Shamblers is that they teleport 16% of the time (though when you fight them on Hell's Armory / Deimos Lab it feels like they teleport 80% of the goddamn time), regenerate 1 HP per turn, and deal plasma damage.

[Evilpotatoe]

I probably didn't even think to it yet, but aren't you supposed to run, before phasing, to lessen chances of instadeath during the 1s lost at landing ? (thus, making hell staff quite a bad device, indeed)

@Sereg
Quite nice run, but I think you acted too quickly on that level. did you panic ? ^^
I think you could have put your nuclear BBFF gun or your nano napalm launcher to a good use. Also, I'd advise to always carry at least one cerberus suit. Gothic, onix, phaseshift... many are good, and imo, worth an inventory slot.
Well, it seems you had a plasma shield anyway so... just don it next time ! Beware, though : it's fragile, and I'm afraid it doesn't last more than a few turns, hence the necessity of some onyx cerberus.

[Sereg]

Hmm, does Hell Staff do something I don't know about that wastes time? I thought it just acted as a phase device o.O

Would the B*FNG have done enough damage to kill shamblers? They seemed exceptionally resilient in the past, but that may have been a good thought.

And running... that may have been a good idea too, except my original plan didn't involve movement, and I half expected to be berserk once they started hitting me. I suppose Shambler projectiles don't do quite enough on their own, and it's just the sheer number that hit that did me in.

Speaking of running, does Dodgemaster apply to multiple incoming single projectiles? In other words, could I have just kept sidestepping them, and letting them kill each other off? I suppose even if it worked I would have taken some damage from bad angles, though.

Plasma shield might have helped - it did take some of the edge off Arachnocaves, but yeah, it got chewed up pretty fast, and I'm not sure how long it would have lasted here, but it may have kept me alive. Yet another thing I didn't consider till too late =P Also, I didn't know what kind of damage they did - for all I knew, it could have been piercing or acid or something, and the plasma shield would have got me killed even faster.

Still, I know for next time. I think I may give 666 another shot, for two reasons - first, it will be more fun to get Centurial Platinum that way, and second, it'll bring me a lot closer to Armorer Platinum. Between those badges I'll be promoted again, and while that's probably not the fastest way I can go about picking up badges, I do like AAo666 better then other game types.

[White Rider]

I probably didn't even think to it yet, but aren't you supposed to run, before phasing, to lessen chances of instadeath during the 1s lost at landing ? (thus, making hell staff quite a bad device, indeed)

I've never done it that way, but this sounds more logical. Especially in City of Skulls.

Hmm, does Hell Staff do something I don't know about that wastes time? I thought it just acted as a phase device o.O

It counts as using an item, so therefore it takes time.
But in the case of the Hell Staff, I think it's more about it being flat-out risky (implying phasing isn't already risky) than wasting time. You land, you find out that your landing spot sucks, and you need to run but you can't because the Hell Staff you just used ate your ability to run. Even if you were running when you used the Hell Staff.

[Sereg]

The Hell Staff really does not like me...

 1618 brave souls have ventured into Phobos:
 1474 of those were killed.
 5 of those were killed by something unknown.
 35 didn't read the thermonuclear bomb manual.
 And 78 couldn't handle the stress and committed a stupid suicide.

 26 souls destroyed the Mastermind...
 6 sacrificed itself for the good of mankind.
 20 killed the bitch and survived.

--------------------------------------------------------------
Not a clue how none of them managed to proc berserk... that probably would have allowed me to survive and not have to teleport.

Berserker trait is basically useless in this situation. You were not just unlucky:

If you really need a hit to take off 1/3rd of your max hp to trigger berserk, that is 20 as a marine. Bruiser brothers are basically hell barons with more hitpoints. They do 4d5 damage, so it is quite rare for them to do 20 damage (1/625).
The situation is much better as a non-marine. Depending on how the rounding works you would have 5%(for 17HP) or even 10%(16HP) chance to go berserk.

If there had been a barrel nearby, I could have shot that and gone berserk while taking no damage =\ ah well.
