I enjoyed using Gunrunner + Shottyman so much, pity I wasted it on Spider Mastermind, using BFG instead of shotgun.

 48 brave souls have ventured into Phobos:
 40 of those were killed.
 1 of those was killed by something unknown.
 And 3 couldn't handle the stress and committed a stupid suicide.

 4 souls destroyed the Mastermind...
 4 killed the bitch and survived.

So much dodge! It's 45 from 3 Hell Runner, 10 from tac boots, 20 from running, 75%!
Plus the int2.

It's been one of the easiest builds I've played with so far,
not that I don't have to constantly hide behind a corner or check my health, but I can afford to be a little more careless.

Wish I could have faced Johnny with this build.
I'm sure that EE does something for shotguns? With the 14 pellet spread or something... Help me out guys.

Nah, I don't believe this is true.  Because...

He saved himself 31 times.

If the build were actually easy and effective, you probably didn't have to do so many "safety saves".

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

"Save scumming" is generally frowned upon in a rogue-like.  "Save files" in rogue-likes are to take a breather rather than provide a convenient checkpoint that you can reload if and when you die.  Try playing the game with less save-scumming -- you will find it a very different environment and will appreciate the gaming mechanics more.

EE doesn't help shotguns at all, as far as I can remember.

[White Rider]

Tac boots don't give +10% dodge anymore. Tac armor does though.

Shotguns don't miss, so Eagle Eye doesn't really do anything for shotguns and accuracy.

Also, were you hard-pressed for free time to play or something? That's literally one save per floor.

[DemoMan]

Alright,
Haven't been able to break the habit, but my next post will have a lot less saved times!

Also, were you hard-pressed for free time to play or something? That's literally one save per floor.

I just got into the habit of saving since I just play level to level.

If the build were actually easy and effective, you probably didn't have to do so many "safety saves".

I haven't needed to reload any dead players; I like playing it during breaks and I have a really low attention span. :)
