I finally experimented with the Technician class! The laptop I'm playing on has a really dark screen, so it was hard to use the tracking data to full advantage in the early game. I ate way too many shotgun blasts to the face early game, and actually ran out of health packs twice! Working my way through this, I felt like I had to skip most of the special levels. I feel like those would have been more achievable with dualgunner to boost the damage output of a pistol build earlier, but Sharpshooter felt fairly limiting early game for pretty great late game.
But enough commentary. Here is what I learned on this run:
9 turns of Invulnerability means 9 turns of invulnerability. Make sure you don't waste those on fast actions and blow yourself up like a dumbass
I nearly closed out right then and there when my invulnerability ended with 4 seconds left on the countdown.
Fun facts about Sharpshooter: a standard storm bolter assembly does more damage than the artifact Anti-Freak Jackal. Which made getting that late in the run rather anti-climactic.
Spoiler below for my first full win.
[M|100%|YAAM] Bursting with Artifacts!
This run was a challenge.... until I got the railgun. Then it turned into a cakewalk. Unfortunately, I wasn't able to complete my conqueror run, as I didn't have a source of berserk or melee damage mitigation for Unholy, and I wasn't confident in tackling Limbo.

Congrats man, MSs is indeed a challenge to get going, but once she's rolling...
And yeah, that's one hell of a lesson to learn. Bet you won't be forgetting that one any time soon D:
As far as your terminology goes: this run isn't a full win, but a partial. It's not a YASD either, as you clearly landed a win. See Da Rulez! (https://forum.chaosforge.org/index.php/topic,561.0.html) and/or the Wiki (https://drl.chaosforge.org/wiki/Achievements) for further clarification. To answer the unasked question: people pay me to be annoying like this, and I like taking my work attitude home with me ;)

@LuckyDee
Thanks! Yeah, I won't be forgetting this one anytime soon. The full win is hidden in a spoiler! Its actually less interesting than this run was, but I wanted to brag about it, especially since I managed to get my first damage-less Arena clear on it. Stepped up my corner shooting game.
I will make sure to be better in my titles in the future.
-
Heheheheh.
A lesson we all have to learn at some point ;)
And maybe the gameplay of the posted run felt more interesting to you, but the spoilered mortem is actually more interesting to me - that's quite the haul of badges you have there. Nice work.
