666 levels are hard because I feel like kind of rushing to get through it all but sometimes you need to take it easy and be careful.

This mistake was after running around berserk and invulnerable for a while, I had previously run really low on health packs and kept having problems with armour getting shredded. So, I thought I would be silly and not use my nice stuff while killing a few spiders while I had 12% health... After they were dead I would pick up a supercharge and another invulnerability - but I accidentally moved into sight of one. :(

Not sure if I will try melee for this challenge anymore. One the one hand, it's a lot faster, but decent weapons are few and far between. Hmmmm.

Also a nano pack would be nice - what floor do they usually start appearing?

Nightmare Ao666? Well, that sounds like "fun". Or more like !!fun!!.

[ZicherCZ]

Ouch. You got already pretty far. YASD indeed.

IMHO, Blademaster build appears to the weakest melee master trait for this challenge. Vampyre can spam healing from resurrecting enemies, while a Malicious Knives build gets all those nice resists even when actually using other weapons, as long as you have a knife in prepared slot (the resists are weaker than from zerking, but they are constant). I know that Scouts have their own advantages.

And for the record, nano packs can start appearing on level 10, but their generation weight is quite low. Going 100+ levels without seeing one is no surprise.

[Ridonk]

Pretty !!fun!! indeed!

I think you are right - blademaster is a bit squishy. I can't imagine doing this without being able to stairdive though, so scout it must be.

Going to try a masterless build I think, as getting to level 25 doesn't leave you with many options (for traits) once you have a master trait, and with such a variety of weapons available, why not?

Do you have any particular build in mind?

[Ridonk]

Not really, I just like combining TaN with HR and Fin for a fast tough scout :)

Got a new game going, feels a bit more in control (although I'm only on level 36...) I have Fin 3, HR 3, TaN 3, SoB 3, Bru 3, Int 2, Ber 1 and Wk 2. Might go for Badass to reduce knockback but I'm not sure yet. Found an onyx pack and lava armour this time so my armour problems are over. I can see myself having ammo issues so I'm tempted to get more brute, but again, I've only got a chainsword.

EDIT: Just picked up the DS :) Things are looking up.
