Question about Angel of Pacifism.
What are the strategy that really help without :
-save scumming
-having insane luck in generated level for stairs not too far
-finding awesome very rare unique armor and lots of invulnerability orbs
-monster locations not leading you in some impossible survival situations
-without exploiting the "we go roughly to the centre of the level" behaviour of the monsters AI.
For the traits, my test in Angel of Pacifism seems to indicate those are good choices :
I went to the Dodgemaster path (Hellrunner) to have bonus in moving speed (Hellrunner) then have the dodging working, as finding good armor early was not really going to happen unless very lucky.
But while it really helps when you face very few monsters in one direction, there's a lot of luck involved in what kind of level you're spawned as quickly shots can go from many direction leading your Dodgemaster skill to not be efficient anymore.
And when the big guns start to spawn, Dodgemaster is useless against the area of damage of the explosions from their shots (and the chain reactions of lava/exploding barrels of course).
Then because i was noticing Dodgemaster was not going to get my character surviving anymore as it was taking often damage, i went to the Though as Nail path, leading into Badass so enemy damage would be lessened and health would not decay when over 100.
I believe it made a real difference, especially once i found some red armor, this increased the survivability.
But again, depend a lot of luck in the levels, as it's easy when you're spawned in a level infested of lava barrels with mancubus and revenants to get killed in seconds with the explosive chain reactions.
Finally, as it was seriously not enough, i went to Ironman, so i could have more max health, this didn't made any obvious difference in survival.
Anything that could help ?
