I think it is not coffee-break anymore. And above HNTR, not quite casual.

I think information about cornershooting should be added to manual. Because it's completely both non-obvious and necessary to play.

Requests For Features / Add runmode binding to insert (numpad 0)
« on: February 22, 2013, 08:24 »
I know it can be done by adding ["INSERT"] = COMMAND_RUNMODE, to keybindings.lua (and I did), but I think it should be standard feature.
Usually I move by right hand on numpad, left on f/r/tab, and comma is totally out of place for so often used function.
Also, I think TAB should be not used both for switch targets and running. I end up running by mistake too often. And I don't see how it can be altered by config.

Masterless pistol build can be quite interesting on high enough levels. SoB5+SoAG5+DG+Rel3+TH2+EE+2 storm bolters... 240 damage in 0.2 seconds. 0.8 seconds to reload. If you have Beretta/Combat Pistol or nano mod(s) you can have quite ridiculous DPS.
Cateye mastery works well with pistols too (because it is only burst mastery that is not chainfire-specific)
Berserk is very good for everyone, because it kicks in on getting damaged too.

Century Lounge / [U|Ao100|99%|YAVP] Hey, I did not "ran for his life from lava"
« on: February 21, 2013, 14:30 »
With phaseshift combo, I surfed lava tide, laughing at monsters! It really change they way game is played - for the best. It would be ideal if I'd find napalm launcher (and nano mod for it), may be some day...
My early build was actually inspired by playing Doom2. I was moving very fast around, easily outrunning mobs and projectiles. I thought "hey, I want to do same in DoomRL". So, I took HR before even started on mastery. And it indeed helped both in early and late game. Knights was suddenly not a problem at all. I could run away from any serious fight/enemy nearly unscathed. Especially after I found phaseshift boots and, then, armor.
Cerberus-modding phase armor felt most like blasphemy, and I pondered some time about it (when I first time saved), but I'm sure it was right choice. Very good speed and awesome protection is better than awesome speed and barely any protection at all. There were lots of moments where resistance helped me, but barely any, where 0.27 speed would work, but 0.43 won't. Also, HR synergied well with Cateye - it lets me stay exactly at right distance from enemy.
Also, I took EE first, because without it, Cateye is of little use too - with it's sight range you have huge accuracy penalty. Actually, I should have took EE2 and EE3 earlier than I did, before SoG, and even before SoB 3-5 - difference is very noticeable.
Gear. Besides phaseshift set, game was very stingy again, not a singly onyx, nano, nuclear or napalm. No combat pistols, until 98th level. I got Malek and Butcher's, though, which I had stashed for rest of the game "just in case", never used.
I got blaster and GCB. I was skeptical about blaster, initially, but gave it a try. And with SoB5/EE3 and storm (B) modded it was very good for something with free ammo. Full 20 clip was enough for Shambler or Lave Elemental. Revenants often dropped in one burst (unless they were knockbacked out of sight and dodged rest of burst because of that). GCB is also not bad, but for my build it's just plain 11 bullets worse than Storm Combat Pistol (B).
So, I had blaster nearly always as my prepared weapon and used it for killing smaller stuff, finishing off stronger enemies, and when ammo was tight, as a primary weapon.
When I used stairs, I had missile launcher in other slot, and used it for destroying nearest clusters of enemies. Before clock started, they were mostly dead, and those alive - out of THEIR range of fire.
Because of Juggler, I used mostly (heavily modded) standard weapons. Even skipped super shotgun, because I already had focused double (B) on speed dial. Yes, I mostly used Bulk mods, because lack of Reloader really hurts.
Oh, and those 9 monster I was short of 100% - it was Arachno cave that I encountered too early. I was totally not strong enough yet to took them, so it was either Q or stairs.

Storm-modded blaster with SoB5 is quite an ammo saver.
Pistols and melee are underpowered unless you train it specifically, and it actually makes sense. And similar to Doom.
Though, I'd not mind if default pistol were a little improved. Most standard weapons can be quite good when upgraded, but with pistol's crippling magazine size of 6 little can be done with it.
In RL, pistols use in police and army have at least 10 rounds, as far as I could google. 6 rounds are either WW2 era, or mini-pistols, or revolvers. But if it is a revolver, it should have better punch, no?

Century Lounge / Re: [U|Ao100|99%|64|YASD] Too many nightmare demons, too small cave
« on: February 19, 2013, 11:29 »
Cerberus has a lot of fixed stats, irrelevant to base armor. Speed, protection, acid/fire/plasma are all fixed.
So, best bet is to make it from something like duelist, or onyx. But phaseshift one also has 30 melee/shrapnel/bullet res, and give set bonus with phase boots. Too bad I found no phase boots. And only duelist armor I have seen that run was picked up by sergeant, that subsequently drown in lava. Bastard.

Well, that too. There were not much space where to run, and demons were literally everywhere, but probably I could run in circles.
But mostly, I was just not familiar enough with such particular type of monsters, and too adrenaline-striked to stop and think thoroughly, read their wiki entry, look hard at my inventory, etc.

« on: February 19, 2013, 10:00 »
I was just not prepared for facing this... Mentally, mostly, because in hindsight, I had enough ways to save myself. Shotgun box, missile launcher, napalm launcher, running into the lava in hope that demons will kill themselves.
I managed to kill most with shotgun and pistol, teleported around some with staff and phase, but it was just a little not enough...
On the plus side, I was able to advance so far with a very poor luck in drops. Probably only really good thing I found was combat pistol. I was thinking about what to do with it, even considered throwing it away, but then made a stormbolter and realized that best thing in this gun is it's huge clip. Also, triggerhappy works with it, so I had triple burst in 0.085 or so seconds. So, everything was effectively timefrozen while I was shooting - until it's time to reload.
Also, fire resistance was indeed a life saver. Saved my life for sure numerous times. I had to remind myself that I am not, in fact, invincible. And was really curious about what can actually kill me. At last, I got an answer:) Well, whatever kills you makes you stronger. I will be better prepared next time.

« on: February 18, 2013, 02:19 »First of all there's no such thing as normal damage. Inexperienced player reading this may think that melee, bullet and shrapnel are the same thing.Fixed bullet damage. About revenants vs mancubi - I mean "danger" in terms of "will YASD you". While revenant's attack may be somewhat harder to avoid, it is not as devastating as mancubi,
About revenants - they have 120% speed, so you may get into situation where revenant moves, shoots after that, you get knockbacked so you don't see him and can't aim.If you're really slow/unlucky this situation can repeat itself. In my danger rating i put them above mancubi.

Discussion / Dodgemaster - for Cyberdemon and former humans only?
« on: February 17, 2013, 11:37 »
I'm looking at dodgemaster trait... It grants guaranteed dodge, but once per monster only. So, against burst fire enemies (commando, captain, arachnotrons) it has very little use.
Vs knight, baron, imp, caco you have 50 base dodge + 30 from HR2 + 10 from tactical boots = 90%
Sergeants, Mancubus, Revenants, Archviles don't care about dodging at all.
Former humans have 10 base dodgerate and low rof, so dodgemaster helps a lot to avoid their damage. But they rarely matter anyway. Cyberdemon has 30, and dodgemaster helps a lot, though with tactical boots and armor you have 80% dodge chance, and if you are running (extra 20%) - 95% chance.
Also, after 10th (edit - 12th) level you can get HR3, that raises dodge chance even against Cybie to 95% with boots.
So, outside very specific situations (like, AoPC) Dodgemaster is not worth taking. If you want better dodge, wait for level 10 (edit - 12) and take HR3 - it will let you dodge near-perfectly.
