3 Advanced Trait Builds will be listed here separately:
BER + DG + SM = Boy Scout
SM + JUG + IRO = Mecha
XXX
No Master or Advanced = Grunt

Might I be the first to be completely not constructive and applaud your use of time in creating that chart.
-
Could be a nice thread, this. Problem is that a lot of possible combinations in the chart are just plain useless. But what about...
BER = Berserker
DG = Marksman
2INT = Medium
2WHI = Engineer or Assembler
BAD = Tank
SHO = Redneck
BER + DM = Cyborg Ninja
DG + WHI = Hitman
TH + WHI = Gun addict
BAD + DM = Max Payne
Useless combos like DG + JUG, BER + TH and friends = Trait waster :P
-
Uhhh... Whizkid is WK not WHI, Shottyman is SM not SHO...
Question: Does order matter? I mean does it matter if I got DG first before WK, versus say WK before DG?
If it does, you get your 81. Otherwise, it's about half of that number, give or take a few rounding errors. ;-)
-
Instead of Force Recon, Cateye's should be more accurately called Pointman, which is closer to the use of the master trait (To scout ahead of the force, searching the enemies in an insecure territory)
-
TH - Itchy fingers
DM - Quarterback
-
BER+INT: Assasin
DM+BAD: Defender
-
What would be nice is if this build name feature is implemented, the game would keep a collection of builds you did before in player.wad. Wee, more stuff to achieve, and it would surely encourage people to experiment with various builds. :)
-
I'm not sure I agree with Commando for MGK. I've always associated that with somewhat heavier weapons - Combat Shotguns, Chainguns, and Plasma Rifles in DoomRL terms.
A couple ideas:
Master Traits:
Cateye: Vanguard
Advanced Traits:
Whizkid/Juggler: Quartermaster
Dodgemaster/Badass: Scout (lots of survival, less emphasis on killing)
Intuition/Dualgunner: Sniper
-
Dualgunner + Badass = Turret
Whizkid + Intuition = Tactician
Juggler + Dodgemaster = Runner
Intuition + Dodgemaster = Monk
Shottyman + Juggler + Ironman = Mecha
-
Ber + Jug = Crazy Juggler
Jug + DG = Indecisive Marksman
Jug = Clown Act
Jug + DM = Acrobat
Jug + Int = Tactician
Jug + Bad = Carefree Tactician
I think we should use Acrobat for Jug + DM, simply because you are quick on both your feet and your hands.
-
Ber + Whiz = Terminator
Ber + SM = SAM
Ber + TH = Heavy
something for the more "useless" side =P
-
Berserker + Dualgunner + Shottyman = Boy Scout. :D
-
Some very interesting ideas in here and only a handful left!
I notice most people like naming those useless ones
-
Jug + Ber = Crazy Clown
Jug + WK = Jack of all Trades
Jug + SM = Elephant Hunter
Jug + TH = Itchy Limbs
Ber + DG = Crazed Marksman
Ber + Bad = The Hulk
DG + SM = Crow Hunter
DG + TH = Itchy Marksman
DM + WK = Runaway Tinkerer
DM + TH = Running Psycho
Int + WK = Nerd
WK + Bad = MacGuyver
-
Thanks everyone!
We have suggestions for just about everything, but feel free to still post here with other ideas.
-
A few alternate suggestions ...
Dodgemaster + Triggerhappy = Vigilante
Juggler + Triggerhappy = More Dakka (Dakka Lova?)
Dodgemaster + Berserker = Black Belt
Berserker + Badass = Juggernaut
Dodgemaster + Whizkid = Stockpiler / Hoarder
-
WK + SM =
me Kustom Gunna. Because of it's orky feel.
-
BER + BAD = Angry Marine (FFFFFFFFFFFFFFF-!)
WK + BAD = Predator
-
More than just Master traits or 1 + 1 advanced, how about some interesting combinations.
For example, one I've been toying with is "Doomguy Generalist." i.e., you do everything the Doomguy could do in the originals.
So:
Badass (supercharge doesn't go away as in Doom)
Dodgemaster (your sidesteps basically always work)
Shottyman (move and reload)
Hellrunner (you're the fastest darn thing in the game once again)
perhaps Ironman (HP to 100)
plus the necessary basic traits.
-
Dodgemaster implies Hellrunner :)
You need Eagle Eye in there too, by the way.

BER+BAD=Man and a Half
