0.9.9.6 / Re: [M|91%|19|YASD] My first Gun Kata / Bullets PLZKTHX
« on: April 22, 2012, 16:46 »
The easiest way to escape the anomaly is to rocket jump. Running + HR might work too.
As for mancubi you shouldn't attempt to simply dodge them (even with MGK) since they shoot two or three rockets which means even if you "dodge" they might still hit you. They'll shoot at you again after that even if you hide behind a wall. Your best bet is to cornershoot. If you're desperate you could try getting in melee range, they still hit you for 9-11 but it's still less than their ranged attack, especially if you get hit by multiple projectiles. Also do note that their speed is 80% so they're notably slower than you unless you're encumbered by armor.
You might also note that the third level of SoG gives you an insane attack speed, believe me. Might want to take that right after DG, or even before it. Probably even more so on a DG scout than a technician since DG actually lowers your attack speed.

0.9.9.6 / Re: [H|AoB|100%|YAAM] Ballistic vest is awesome!
« on: April 22, 2012, 16:17 »Wow, I envy you. I'm still wondering how you can do that. 100% AoB. Do you think if you hadn't had Ballistic Vest, would you make it? I mean, it's hard... I tried many times, but giftdropping doesn't help much when you're ambushed. And first level is a pain, when sergeants come in the open terrain, you can't do much there.Unless someone proves me wrong I highly doubt it's possible to clear the arena without some sort of stroke of luck, whether it's in the form of the Butcher's Cleaver, Ballistic Vest, a lot of medpacks or somesuch. The only thing that comes to mind is taking HR and throwing combat knives.
Congratz ;)
Apart from that it's mostly about playing really, really carefully, luring the monsters whenever possible, gift dropping and from lvl 6 on abusing MVm, especially pain elementals are a good source of healing since you can just keep 1-hitting the lost souls and gaining health in the process. Once you have a level or two of TaN you're going to be pretty much permaberserked on any dangerous areas so stupidity is the only thing that can get you killed.
Hell's Arena is definitely the hardest part of a 100% clear, it just keeps getting easier after that although until you get MVm it's still pretty damn hard.

Soo, yeah, after a LOT (do note that the numbers at the end of the mortem are for the current version) of unsuccessful 100% AoB runs trying to figure out how the hell am I supposed to clear Hell's Arena I was just about ready to give up on the arena when I picked up a ballistic vest on level 2. First I didn't think too much of it until I realized a demon I was trying to kill did way less damage than it should, then I saw the 50% melee resistance on the armor. It allowed me to clear Hell's Arena and probably a lot of other things too, I kept it with me for probably more than half of the game until I accidentally managed to blow it up. By then pretty much all armor was somewhat useless anyway since I had plenty of TaN levels and I kept taking so much damage everything I wore blew up anyway. TaN + berserk was all I needed.
I was somewhat disappointed early on in my inability to take HR but it turned out to be ok, berserk + tactical boots gave me plenty of movement speed. As for the scythe I didn't even know about it at first, it's a pretty damn awesome weapon alright.
Oh, and for a melee-only special level (meaning you'll probably have to skip it most of the time) UC sure has an unfairly awesome soundtrack.

Soo, yeah, I get hit by an Arch-Vile for almost half my HP, see a supercharge and decide to "snipe" everything as soon as I can see them with Int. I'm right next to the supercharge when I see a purple star just above me and try to snipe it only so it can suddenly move like 5 tiles in a single turn despite the fact that my firing delay is 0.2 seconds or something. 16% HP left doesn't leave much doubt, I get annihilated instantly. Since I have no idea what the hell happened could someone explain how did that thing move so fast? As far as I'm aware Arch-Viles have a speed of 160% (according to the wiki, it's probably outdated but I'd assume it's close enough, I doubt their speed has been tripled). Just before it killed me it was just outside my LoS, right above me, maybe one tile to the left.
I'm still learning this game (hence Int) and there are a couple of things I can't figure out such as when am I hidden. I've tried to look at some guides but they can't always offer the answer, I know that in a situation like this
Code: [Select]
.###
@###
..A.I'm always safe despite the fact that I can see the enemy, but it seems that the moment they take one step away from the wall they can always see me no matter how far (horizontally in the example) away they are. Also it seems sometimes they can see me but I can't see them (I'd assume the scenario described above could be an example if the positions were reversed), it just feels odd that I'm being shot at despite the fact that I can barely see them on the edge of my LoS with Int. Do (some) monsters see further than I do or something?Also, I have no idea how to play without Int. Sure, I can shoot behind every corner with a shotgun but that wastes a ton of ammo, not to mention it doesn't help if a monster is hidden in a doorway or something and steps in wherever I shot at the same time I do. Even if I get shot at it's not that bad while the worst things I can run into are imps and former captains, but by the time I'm seeing arachnotrons and former commandos who can pretty much drop me in a single round...
I have no idea how the hell I'm supposed to kill the Arena Master on AoSh either, double or normal shotguns don't even seem to tickle him and I'm constantly being raped by shotguns from every direction (although the Arena Master is the real problem). I can get rid of Hell Knights to some extent by pushing them into lava, but that doesn't seem to work too well for the former humans, not to mention that the Arch-Vile ofter comes right behind them. Currently I've decided to just grab the agility mod packs and make a run for it after clearing the right side.
E: Actually, scrap that, picking Rel & SM before Int seems to do the trick as long as you keep nailing him with a double shotgun. I still had to use a ton of medpacks though.
Oh, and how do mod pack limits work? I grabbed wizkid so I could put some more power (and possibly technical) mod packs on that combat shotgun, but apparently you can't add anything into it after you turn it into a tactical shotgun. Shame, even if I can fire 5 rounds every second I'm kinda lacking on firepower although I can pretty much push anything outside my LoS with the tactical shotgun, it just wastes a ton of ammo even though (as you can see) I had plenty of it left. If I want to go for shotguns do I have to pump a ton of power mods into a tactical shotgun or hope I get a unique one or something?
Well, that was my best game so far and I'm kinda disappointed that I died such a stupid death, I could've avoided taking the damage which took me down to 16% in the first place or used a med-pack or something. I just have no idea how that Arch-Vile managed to jump on me. They seemed to move two-three tiles in a turn earlier too while I kept shooting, and unless I'm mistaken that would require a speed of 500% or something if my firing delay is 0.2s. In case you're wondering how I cleared The Mortuary I found an invulnerability globe in the previous level, teleported next to the stairs with a homing phase device and ran for the entrance right next to the stairs and popped the Trigun's alt reload. I panicked for a while there when I thought the game told me I can't use it on AoSh, but then I realized I was trying alt-fire instead of alt-reload!
