So, I've gotten it down enough that I can get the guaranteed Dragonslayer fairly regularly. This is one of those such games.
As far as the Apostle goes, you can see plainly that it replaces JC. I won't spill the details on how you make it happen though. Functionally, it is a up-HPed, teleporting, up-damaged, Arch Vile with a bigger radius that can fire from outside of your line of sight. I'm very happy about my DPS during this game though, I managed to get it up to 386.4 pre-blademaster. The calculation was 100/31 * ((45 + 15) * 2).
