Finished the Haste Trial on Hard on roughly the second attempt, good ol' Blademaster!
Equipment was a persistent concern for me. Quickblade's gimmick was never relevent but Pierce damage on Blademaster solves a lot of problems anyway. Was still a concern for me that I never got Katanas or the better Exotic Blades, definitely worried when I faced the Summoner with Quickblade and a Machete, but I guess it worked out still.
I had the Analytic Visor at one point, but it eventually got broken (which is why I have a dubiousz Helmet on).
I started speccing into Toxicologist so I could safely grab the ENV suit in Refueling Base... This was before I saw there was a Sealed Combat Helmet in there. Still don't fully regret it since puffing poison helped a lot. Ignored the Helmet to keep my bonus EXP instead, which is more dubious considering what happened to my Visor in the end.
Visited Infernal Lock but got screwed out of the special Mod.
I didn't realise "Destroy The Lock" would render that special door unavailable... Still kinda salty about it to be honest.
Visited Shattered Abyss per usual but Soulstealer is typically underwhelming with Blademaster so didn't use it much if at all.
