Discussion / Questions about modding equipment
« on: March 26, 2012, 03:32 »
Hi there,
I am recently playing Ao100 with a Technician and now that I can really go wild with modding stuff, I have a few questions.
1) What are the limits of applying upgrades? Whizkid L2, in theory, allows up to 5 mods on weapons and 3 on armors. Correct? But there must be some other limits because, for example, I found out that I cannot slap 2 power mods on the same armor. Then again, after applying PTA, I suddenly CAN add another one to make Cerberus Armor. What's the rationale here? If I don't want to make it, will I end up with a P2TA armor?
2) Modifying uniques. Which ones can be modified, and which cannot? The ones I can modify can only receive one upgrade, like the Assemblies, or I can do everything I want with them, even making Master Assemblies out of them? Is there a list somewhere?
3) Modding weapons. I am a Tech with Malicious Blades. So far the best weapon I found is a Piercing Combat knife further modified with Bulk - I end up with a 4d6 Piercing weapon, which kicks truckloads of ass (I have two). Can I do better than that?
Anyway with such a build it's all down to survive long enough to get the proper gear. Right now (I'm savescumming, don't have time to do it properly) I am sitting on Onyx Cerberous Armor (P), which together with Malicious Blades makes me pretty much unstoppable. Got the standard stuff - A-modded TTA Plasma, PTA Double Shotty, even a Combat Relocator for surgigal removal of Arch Viles - unless I do some really stupid stuff, nothing can kill me anymore now (I'm on level 60).

0.9.9.6 / [H|97%|YAFW] My first legit win!
« on: March 18, 2012, 16:28 »
For most of you this result is nothing special, but for me it was my first win without savescumming - I saved before the Mortuary as I usually do, but didn't need to reload. Perhaps next time I will save one more phase device and feel the Arch Vile pressure!
Also, the 97% is probably not 100% because I made the mistake of entering the Unholy Cathedral - which I promptly left, without melee weapons at hand.
What to say about the run... probably the biggest grin was finding the Jackhammer on Armory, level 10. For one moment there I hoped AmmoChain worked with it too - but never mind, it's already insane as it is with TriggerHappy lvl2. It's what saved my bacon in the Spider's Lair, more than the Plasma rifle.
This was also my first Ammochain run (I usually do shotguns, as most noobs do), and by Melkor, it really rocks, especially with the Hyperblaster - that thing hurts so much and fires so quickly (with Fin level 3), the poor SOBs didn't stand a chance! After realizing how powerful it is, I dropped all my rockets and Missile Launcher.
Hell Staff... got it and brought it down with me, never used it.
What should I try next? UV? Will I get a chance to find Dragonslayer at that skill, in a regular game?
