Power Armor Question and Suggestions

[Archived Post]

i am working on a power armor build now, i know i am going to use powers from munitions and gadgeteer, but what i am really confused on is which stats would work best?

the framework suggestion is INT and STR, but i am reading that people say skip INT and focus on REC and maybe END instead of STR.

i know this is very vauge, but i am so tired of scrapping a toon and starting over i want some general advice... so i hope it isnt too confusing.

I want to go for high damage output and be able to solo pretty good (not exclusive solo)...

any help will be greatly appreciated.

Thanks :D

PA is mostly ranged attacks that go off dex not str.
Int reduces the cost of attacks and end increases the number of attacks you can do before using it up. I think int is better because you dont need to recover as much before you can fire the big guns again.

No, STR is good for power armor because it aids in using invincibility. And DEX does not add to ranged damage at all unless you make it one of your super stats. Only your super stats add to your damage, nothing else.

ETA: Both STR and CON add to the effects of invincibility, so they're good super stats to use if you plan on taking it.

I've also heard that you get more bang for your buck when using END over INT or REC. REC is good for alpha attacks, but END ends up giving you more energy to play with.

kk I was mislead and should really research before posting. Apparently Int reduces cooldown times. Someone posted a stats table in the combat and powers section.
