I knew I could do it! AoMC+Ao100 is a rather amusing once you get past the first 30 or so levels and get all your traits and gear sorted. Turns out a Burst Plasma Rifle with Ammochain is all you need to turn a Ao100 into an idle stroll in the park. Provided you keep yourself from walking into crossfires, because god do those hurt.

I didn't know the Nanofiber skin armor was cursed, so after having crafted it, I was ludicrously stuck with it for the remainder of run, leaving my awesome Tactical Armor behind, getting trolled by Malek's and just generally crying over how terrible the nanofiber wasn't. It turns out a 4 def armor with 25% resistances to EVERYTHING except fire which was 50% that can't be destroyed and regenerates on its own is fricking amazing when one wrong step can melt your armor in an instant due to HELLO MANCUBI!

After a few days of this run I started to realize that "This isn't even difficult, I should just finish this!" So from around 80-ish somewhere and straight to the end it was just a mad dash for the end, skipping as much as I could and only stopping to fight when I absolutely had to. Also I was quite terrified when a nightmare Arch-Vile saw fit to raise a Shambler in front of me two times. That was really scary.

I feel rather pleased having managed this, and I must say that if you are playing AoMC, speed is everything. You absolutely MUST shoot before the enemy, and often you must fire fast because there are more enemies in your LoS that are just waiting to rip you a new one. So my movement and fire speeds were kept as low as possible (Hence Hellrunner and Finesse 3). Also Badass 2 and Ironman 4 was hilarious. I could take SO MUCH PUNISHMENT and then a Megasphere or Soulsphere took me right back up again. From 50 and down I barely used a single medpak at all.

Also, I'm quite aware that the last level was a big cheese, but hey I've heard of people dying on the last level of Ao666. I didn't want to repeat there here on my first run. :D

The only thing more amazing then a Nanoskin armor is the Cybernano armor.

That said, the Cybernano doesn't gain any extra resistances, but that is offset by the +4 protection...might need a buff.

Great run! I wouldn't have the balls to do Ao100 + anything, so you're better then me :3

[ZicherCZ]

Try then a Cybernetic Cybernano then. 11 protection and indestructible. Fun times.

[IronBeer]

That said, the Cybernano doesn't gain any extra resistances, but that is offset by the +4 protection...might need a buff.

Possibly. Nanoskin is probably the better all-around armor assembly on paper since the resistances are much more powerful than armor points, but Nanoskin armor will fall apart under heavy sustained fire. Cybernano's infinite durability is a significant plus, though I personally don't think the assembly really measures up to the needed modpacks.

Funny you should mention that. I would counter-propose that the OP try a Nanoskin Energy-Shielded Vest. That assembly, when P-modded after construction, will vastly outperform Cybernano Cybernetic against acid, plasma, and fire. 75% resist against those damages is RIDICULOUS, and the assembly will perform adequately against bullets, shrapnel, and melee too.

Wow. Such an armor would really rock to no end, good idea.

Cybernano armor is better in practice against everything that's not a/an (nightmare) arch-vile or a cyberdemon/JC. Nothing else has the dakka to make percentage based resistance better then the 4 protection.

That said, I agree with your assessment and believe that the Cybernano armor should have a buff, or at least a change.

The assembly for Nanoskin is PPN, meaning that you can't put another P mod onto the armor after it's been completed.

That's not true.  But you will require 2xWK.

[Aki]

LOL, I love the love-hate relationship between me and thelaptop. He hates my guts and I love his sense of humor. C:

That said, why can't a Nanofibre Armor, Hyperblaster, or Burst Rifle be modded even with WK 2? I tried to P mod a Nanofibre armor on my previous game (with WK 2) and it wouldn't let me, and in my Ao100 run that I did a while ago I couldn't mod neither the hyperblaster nor the burst plasma rifle - and as you can see from the mortem, I had an agility pack in my inventory and WK 2.

You can only further mod an assembly if you had WK2 _before creating_ the assembly. And some assemblies can't be "post-modded" at all.

[thelaptop]

You can only further mod an assembly if you had WK2 _before creating_ the assembly. And some assemblies can't be "post-modded" at all.

IIRC, all assemblies can be post modded iff the assembly was created after having 2xWK.

This includes Master Assemblies.  The only ones that might not work are if you managed to assemble using uniques as base material -- I've not tested this to confirm it.

What I said is true for stuff in repo.  I've not really assembled Master Assemblies yet for 0.9.9.7, and the last time I was testing those was too damn long ago to make any more sense.

[Aki]

...That seems quite redundant, is that an intended feature or...?

It makes WK even more situational. x.x

Oh god, that sounds absolutely AWESOME. O_o

[thelaptop]

Aki, almost all traits are situational, so I've no idea what you are talking about.

The history of the additional mod on assemblies when completing an assembly with 2xWK comes from the first time the assemblies were implemented.  It was possible to assemble a high-powered high-powered high-powered minigun; I'll stop for a while for that to sink in.

The bug was fixed, but it was decided that the ability to add an additional mod gave a little more flavour to the assemblies, and can be seen in a way as rewarding late-game for reaching 2xWK, kind of like how you can add more points to basic traits once you are past a certain cLev.

[Aki]

Aki, almost all traits are situational, so I've no idea what you are talking about.

Sorry if my explanation was unclear, i'll rephrase it - it makes it unnecessarily worse when it's already highly reliant on the RNG for non Ao100/Ao666 games.

Woah, that's kinda scary. That'd be what, 1d12x8? Gee.

I don't really see how it's rewarding you late game for reaching 2xWK. I don't also really understand your analogy, because that adds a bit more diversity and strength to a high level character - whereas the reward for Whizkid should be to add the mod to any assembly - again, considering that Whizkid is reliant heavily on the RNG. I would think of it like this:

Base trait (Gain benefits) - Obtain high clevel from killing more mobs - Reward is more benefits from base traits.
Whizkid 1 (Gain benefits) - Obtain Whizkid 2 by spending the trait point where it could be spent elsewhere - Reward is more benefits to assemblies.

I don't see how it would be gamebreaking and it's contrary to the description - there's a few times where I wouldn't have taken that second level of whizkid had I known that, so it's also kind of misleading.

[ZicherCZ]

Woah, that's kinda scary. That'd be what, 1d12x8? Gee.

... at the cost of magazine size down to 200 * 0.65 * 0.65 * 0.65 = 55.
Hmmm ... Not exactly a bad tradeoff, I'd happily take that one.
