YASD.  I really, really, REALLY should know by now not to be walking around with only 10 HP once I end up this deep.  Also, as I've said before elsewhere I still think two guns are better than one, even if that second gun is a pea-shooter compared to my primary hand cannon.  But I also think now that saving DG for the deeper levels makes it so that I can save on ammunition AND get more mods on my gun and out of my inventory/off the floor where they taunt me so.  Once I get enough traits to knock the penalty down to nothing, though, I'll get DG and kick some more ass.  Of course, if the penalty is applied after the total energy cost is ramped back up (instead of [{1000-600-200-200}*1.4] being ramped up to 100, it's [1000-600-200-200] ramped up, then multiplied by 1.4) the total benefit's a lot smaller, but someone's going to have to try it and see what happens first.  If I'd survived to clevel 9, I'd have taken DG for sure; the Reloader trait was taken to try and minimize the effects of reloading my hand cannon.  Also (and I know people are going to say "Whaaaaaat..?" at this), I don't much care for magazine mods after getting 10 bullets in a mag.  This is because after shooting 10 bullets, the enemy will get a turn, and if that turn involves shooting me, unless I'm on coward/cautious I'm gonna get hit, and the non-pushovers tend to hit hard.  Now, I suppose I could just make it a habit to count bullets and go coward/cautious on the turn that the enemy gets a chance to do something, but it's slightly easier just to make use of an already established habit (that of reloading while in coward mode).  If I had more damaging bullets/more chance for knockback, I might not mind so much, but it just tends to be more annoyance than convenience when enemies are in view (and when not in view, it really doesn't matter too much).

Oh yeah, and I also beat the Spider's Lair in this game without using the teleporters.  Hard as hell and I came very, very close to dying a few times though.  You can read a little more about it on the site chat (which if you've never seen or heard of before is on the very bottom of the forum index page).  I probably wouldn't have been as reluctant to use up my medkits here if I hadn't used up most/all of the large ones in attempting to survive that.

Hmm, I also did Spider's Lair on my successful AoMr run (not posted here), and the Aracs hardly had time to shoot at all before being knocked out of sight again... Then again, I had a level of EE and was shooting on cautious/coward alot, so when I did get hit I wasn't hurt too much.

[TFoN]

My first AoMr trait's EE. I find it to be very comforting, knowing that while I fire a little slower lacking SoaG, very little I do fire ever misses, even when I'm dodging captains on Coward.

[BDR]

For me, the damage reduction with Coward simply doesn't seem worth it; I'd much rather be able to get 'free' hits in with as much damage as possible before the enemy gets any chances.

[MedO]

I think this works well against many enemies, EXCEPT anything with a plasma rifle ;). I usually go coward in front of Chainguns as well. Seriously, the difference in hits you get is HUGE. Like, when cowarding I sometimes had a commando shoot at me and not hit a single of its 8 bullets, and often just one hit or two. And the more enemies around, the more benefit you have from cowarding (because more shots are coming your way per turn), i.e. if there is one place in the game where you really should go coward, it's Spider's Lair.
