My first HMP win. Ao100 feels somewhat easier, than standard game. Getting an early blaster and combat was very nice, but game was not too hard even with simple pistols modded. Being umodable Grammaton is not as strong, as I hoped. The very end was a boring grind, I started skipping levels and did not reach lvl 25. Inquisitor set is totally overpowered in lategame with so many fire based enemies and lava all over the place. Had onyx and nano pack unused...

I think Ao100 is harder than the main game at equivalent dlevels, as without the special levels, you're weaker by about 1-3 levels and lack all the nice guaranteed loot from them, leaving you a lot less prepared when the elite enemies start showing up and making you especially vulnerable to bad RNG in the 6-20 dlevel range. So I do find it unusual you succeeded with your first HMP win on it not only with AoMr, a challenge that leaves you especially weaker in the early game, but also as a Sharpshooter, a build that has it notoriously hard in early levels before you get the master trait. Though finding good exotics compatible with your build early on helps a ton in getting you over the big hump that is the first 20 levels of Ao100.

Also even if you did kill everything, you wouldn't have reached level 25, you just don't get enough experience on HMP or even UV to reach it in 100 levels (unless maybe you're on UV and get many levels containing only boss monsters). You have to play Ao100 on Nightmare, play Ao666, or dual-angel Angel of Darkness with Ao100 to be able to reach level 25.

[Sereg]

I second Ao100 being harder then normal... anyway the one time I tried Ao100 MSs I ended up meleeing everything by like level 30 because pistols take too long to clear floors with, so props for doing it while restricted to AoMr, especially with a 90%+ kill rate.

[Tormuse]

I wouldn't say one is particularly easier or harder than the other; it's more like you're trading one challenge for another.  Sure, you miss out on some nice loot, but some of those special levels can be quite tough, so not having to do them takes some pressure off.  Still, doing it with a Sharpshooter build must have been quite challenging and required a lot of patience, so kudos for that!  :)

[Omega Tyrant]

Yeah the special levels can be brutal compared to the equivalent depth normal levels, but they're always skippable, so you don't have to do them if it would be too hard/risky. On the other hand, there will certainly be at least a few of them that any run can complete easily or partially complete, so you should always be levelling faster and better prepared in a normal game at equivalent dlevels than you would in Ao100.
