Completed Let's Play an Angel of Marksmanship in DoomRL

[Damned Registrations]

The quickswap (either through mousewheel or keys) is instant if you have juggler I'm pretty sure. Unless they changed that, which seems unlikely. Medical Armor does heal you... but only if you're very very low on health. It's pretty shit. Would maybe be useful for a melee build, since you'd be berserk and could survive at low health levels instead of getting one shotted. But mostly it's shit unless you mod it into something.

Necro Armor is fucking awesome. Only time I wouldn't wear it is around a bunch of Hell Barons, I'm pretty sure acid damage degrades armor faster. With the 6 armor the health cost of losing durability still works out in your favour, and it's all delayed by a lot, so you'll survive those one shot kill scenarios and have time to fuck off and heal. Especially when you have intuition, so you know when it's gonna be safe to wander around at 15% health looking for a health globe or letting your health drop super low before using a large medpack most efficiently. The combination of bonus speed and insanely high flat armor is very hard to come by.

I Feel Ominous
This is it (though it sneaks up on me). Get to deal with a bunch of Hell Barons and Hell Knights, equip the medical armor for mysterious reasons, almost die, and burn a bunch of medkits. Also containing gems of wisdom such as "When the Blaster runs out of ammo, it sucks. It really sucks." And if you think that's bad, I also forget what the Lava Element does, and surprise everyone (including myself) by stumbling into the Spider Mastermind. And promptly impaling myself on chaingun fire and burning through my now meager supply of med kits. Yep, it's a DoomRL playthrough by Occasionally Fatal.

Thanks for watching! And critiquing! I learned a lot. Hope you enjoyed laughing at my noobish effort. I did finally put into practice some things I learned, but I also got lucky a number of times where I was extremely close to death. Even in this last video I'm pretty sure I was at 6% in the open at one point. Anyway, the Spider Mastermind was actually not so tough once I figured out how to kite him around the columns. Luckily I had just enough med kits to give me time to figure that out. A little hard to believe I had so many medkits and ammo packs at one point. Also, the 100% kill rate was a neat bonus. There will be a final MS Paint at some point to commemorate this event.

Great fight against the spider mastermind.

Nice job. Thought you were going to lose for a while there until you equipped the tactical boots. And you got ass kicking marine, which is cool. Surprised you didn't hit level 12, you did a lot of special levels. Just got lots of relatively small spawns in the later floors I guess.
