Well, my first victory over the Cyberdemon seemed a good occasion to register to this forum.
Funny enough, I started that AoMr game to take a break from a series of ITYTD stupid deaths, trying very hard to finally get that elusive first win under my belly. Those pimped up pistols simply rock!

As you can see, a rather close call. One more hit from the CD and I woud have been gone. But a win is a win :)

[Rabiat]

You finished AoMr without the Dualgunner trait. :o

I also recently got my second full win ever, on AoMr. Weapon mods definitely make life a lot easier on this challenge. I wouldn't have made it without three levels of Dualgunner though.

Congratulations.

[Satyr]

I did run a few AoMr chars with dualgunner, but I'm not sure if the somewhat higher damage output is worth the cost of a far longer reload time + the traits you cannot take due to your levels in DG. I really didn't miss the second gun at all during this game.

[Karry]

The only thing that make you a winner in AoM - is how early you find damage mods and how many. NOTHING else matters. Once i found a damage mod on level 2, too bad i died before taking it. :(

I was kinda wondering if its possible to survive the very first level of AoM on UV...i sure couldnt.

[TFoN]

I recently lost an AoMr game (I'll post the mortem when I'll get a chance) where my first dmgmod was found somewhere after dlvl15. I did, however, have a clip size of 29 and multiple reload and speed mods to go with my SoaG(3) and Finesse(2) :) (BTW, a game like this should be used to determine the energy costs of monster actions, considering minimum energy costs for player actions is 100, if I've understood correctly, and with all these traits and mods, that's quite easy to reach)
I eventually died by being hit by a mancubus while standing too close to a wall. IIRC I had over 60% health left at the time, which sucks real bad :P

[Karry]

I dont think its possible at all to win AoM w/o damage mods for one reason only - you'll quite simply run out of ammo. Yeah, its possible to kill almost anything with speed mods and large magazine, but it takes alot of ammo, i had a whole inventory and it wasnt enough, only got to level 21.
