[U|AoMr+AoP|97%|25|YASD] Should've been double Platinum
« on: September 22, 2013, 04:01 »

I needed a couple more Platinums to advance in rank again, so I wanted to see if I could get two at once.  At first, I tried dualling AoMr and AoCn together, since both give you Platinum for getting 100% kills at Ultra-Violence.  After that failed repeatedly, I decided trying to combine Marksmanship with Purity with a Gun Kata build (just because) and fared much better. :)

Notes on this run:

I saved the game twice, once because there was a storm and I didn't want to lose the game to a power failure, and the second one was to attend my birthday celebration.  ;)

Finding a Ballistic Shield early on was a huge help against Revenants.  (A Marksman's Achille's heel for all their bullet resistance)  All I had to do was close to point-blank range so they used their melee attack and I was protected from 95% of it.  (Later, I switched that for the Shielded Armour)

I very nearly got Gatekeeper Diamond.  I completely cleared Hellgate without damage, thanks to a lucky phase device, and got the Cyberdemon down to mortally wounded without damage, when I guess I just miscalculated the time and fired one shot too many and got a rocket to the face.  Bye bye, Diamond.  :(

I experienced ammo shortages in hell, which I supplemented with an energy pistol to help me make use of energy cells.  (I completed the assembly in Mount Erebus, just in time, considering all the bullet resistant enemies there!)

I was so very close to winning in the end, but JC proved to be too evasive.  He kept teleporting away and I couldn't freakin' find him, and any time I did, he was surrounded by his minions, so I couldn't hit him.  Even with Dodgemaster and Gun Kata, I couldn't evade the hail of shots coming from all directions forever and I eventually expended all my med-packs and armour with JC at severely wounded.  It would've been a really sweet victory if I had pulled it off.  :|

Happy belated birthday!
Unfortunately there are no platinums or diamonds awarded for birthday Doomguys, as far as I know of.

Purity's always an interesting challenge. It's one that terrifies me, but often when I want a Dual-Angel compliment I find myself picking Purity more often than not.

Happy belated birthday!

Thank you!  :D

You and me both!  :o  It was nice to get Inquisitor Platinum out of the way at least.  It was quite challenging.  :)

YASD as a birthday gift - not exactly nice. You really should have gone Sharpshooter ;).
Anyway, happy birthday! :)

P3B2 combat pistol + Sharpshooter + SoG5. Gun Kata may be the awesomest, but this one ... You gotta see to believe.

I noticed that you didn't actually get MGK until quite late into the game. And all those mods you got during that run...You had enough A-mods to make two speedloaders and a set of tac boots...that's 4 A-mods in a standard run. Seems like the RNG was friendly enough to give you some nice armors, but I guess it got the last laugh in the long run. As it usually does, I suppose.

I guess you'd carry two pistols with you at all time since you were building DG/MGK, but I see you also had a third pistol with you--an Energy Pistol. It's so obvious why you would, yet this is the first time this has occurred to me that having a source of damage that deals plasma damage is a wonderful idea if you're building a pistol build. Again, the fact that you'd need even more mods for that...And you made that rather late, at Erebus, even.

Also, Arena and CC+ on AoMr and Purity? On UV? Holy.
Now I feel like trying AoMr + AoP on UV HMP but with MSs. Haven't seen nearly as much success from MGK as I have had successes from building MSs. :)

Oh, I believe it.  :)  Although, with those stats, the bulk mods seem kind of redundant; really, everything in sight is gonna be dead before you fire off 15 bullets, so I'd rather put tech mods on it.

I noticed that you didn't actually get MGK until quite late into the game...

I never really needed Gun Kata; I considered doing the run without it, but I wanted Dodgemaster for dealing with Cybie, so I figured I might as well.  Really, I just got whatever traits benefited me the most at the time.

...And you made that [energy pistol] rather late, at Erebus, even.

Yeah, I would've preferred to have it earlier, much earlier, but I wasn't able to get Whizkid until Erebus because of my build choices.  (Better late than never I suppose)  I was carrying around the mods for it for ages.

In fact, it's tech mods that are redundant in such a case - you are already at 0.1s firing speed without them. The bulk mods can be a lifesaver in case of a bad starting position, when 15 bullets are not enough, and a reload time of 1.8s may get you killed (putting some levels into Reloader is IME a good idea in the long run).
