Discussion / Re: Sniper mod pack on shotgun
« on: January 22, 2018, 08:56 »
i dont really like plasmatic shotguns outside of nightmare games. the added damage is nice but too often ends up burning through my cover when im corner shooting

i'm fine with the schematic drops - it wouldn't be a roguelike if the RNG didn't give you a totally useless item some of the time :)

i always build to WK after vampyre in my melee runs - usually do something like
bru -> bru -> ber -> tan -> bad -> mvmp -> tan -> fin -> fin -> wk -> wk -> whatever
AOP red armor, especially with two levels of TAN, really helps in the later levels, and considering shamblers are total pushovers with a vampyre build you get a pretty good chance of getting an onyx pack right after your guaranteed red armor from the anomaly
i usually do the piercing chainsaw as it can be assembled without WK, and is more than enough power to cut through pretty much anything before hell and even most of it, usually i only swap out to the spear/scythe if surrounded by a lot of big monsters i need to take down quickly as possible

Discussion / Re: How exactly do fist-only runs work?
« on: January 05, 2018, 07:18 »So maybe I accidentally killed something when I used shotguns to weaken Demons in early levels or the couple of times I needed to blow a hole through a wall with a rocket, or maybe when I used Fire Skulls in the Mortuary it didn't count as fist kills, or maybe I accidentally left a weapon equipped in my primary slot when I melee'd something to death.
its probably one of these - for my run i used the shotgun very very carefully on the early levels for the demons making sure that nothing else could possibly be hit by them and switched to legitimate fist-only after i got vampyre, saving the chainsaw only for the shamblers, cyberdemon and mastermind. after the shamblers i also skipped every special level to avoid tense situations where i'd be tempted to pull out a bigger weapon

Nightmare! / Re: [N!|AoD+AoMc|87%|YAVP] hunter diamond
« on: January 01, 2018, 06:59 »
thanks - AOD is definitely a challenge early on but the double xp really helps, especially after cateye. doing this without that would be much harder, im kind of surprised there isnt a hunter angelic where that is (one of) the qualifier

Nightmare! / [N!|AoD+AoMc|87%|YAVP] hunter diamond
« on: December 29, 2017, 11:31 »
casually been trying at this for a while now - had some decent runs that ended up poorly (while wielding plasma rifle, accidentally hit "R" in the containment area trap when i meant to hit "4" to switch to combat shotgun), but finally got through on this one. somehow survived the anomaly with no phase device after being bounced around by the nightmare cacodemons, i was able to get back to the starting room with around 25% health, was able to charge up and plasma my way through the monsters. pretty smooth sailing after this - got a homing phase to bypass the mortuary, and the spiders lair spawned instead of hall of carnage so i didnt have to use it there

another very impressive run, congrats!
for the theoretical perfect 6x angelic run, has anyone tried writing bots for doomrl? i know bots have ascended in nethack - it would certainly make speedrunner way easier if a computer is doing the thinking

i have strongman diamond and found it pretty easy compared to the others. just use the shotgun to soften up demons on the early levels and make sure to switch to your fist for the killing blow. HMP you don't encounter hell knights until after the chained court so you should be able to get bru3 + ber by then, and anything bigger won't be until after the anomaly where you'll definitely have vampyre

awesome runs, congratulations! for a100 on max carnage i've been able to get around level 70 or so before monsters become too overpowering. i was using a cateye build, but maybe shottyhead would be more effective if you could get lucky and get a super shotgun and make it into a nanoshrapnel p-modded gun

first time checking in on this thread, some incredible progress being made here
i would suggest tackling veteran angelic next with max carnage. its a lot easier than it sounds on the surface when using a burst build. most of the strategy involves finding a saferoom to gift drop, using run-wait and blasting away. by the time you encounter the bigger monsters, you should have either a gatling gun or plasma rifle, which on max carnage, will kill nearly everything in one burst

nice job, those monster clusters after level 50 or so can get brutal, melee dive where you can berserk is a good way to do it
