So I've been doing a lot of experimenting with different PA sets when I go against the raid turret boss. Troubleshooters is the best against the turret boss but you can run any PA set up with the right legendaries. If u do not get a reflective 4 star I find that having sentinels with some tankys works on any armor. I have a full set of vanguards, Overeaters, Bolstering and Troubleshooters. I have to spam stimpaks with every armor when I solo the boss. For everyday use I'm sure any armor will work with sentinels and some tankys. I even have a PA set with ONLY intelligence legendaries and some sentinel pieces with a couple tankys. I use it for leveling up. It gets me almost 40k XP every time I solo the turret boss. Even with that intelligence set I'm able to solo but it takes way more Stim spamming. In conclusion use whatever armor you want but you will need good 3 and 4 star legendaries to be Tanky
@@frankblack1014 yep most definitely the best mods for each stage for the first one is troubleshooters and for the second stage propelling and so on from there overeater or vanguard with some sent here and there and fourth being whatever you prefer, any armor is overall fine and no hate to either armor people use out in the wasteland!
Once one understands how damage reduction works compared to damage resistance, it's easy to realize that reducing a % of incoming damage before you even take it is better than plain old DR. Go Overeaters. It's so damn easy to stay well fed and hydrated - a pemmican collector and a water purifier or two in your camp is all you need.
Extra damage resistance beyond what the power armor itself provides (not counting environmental) is mostly useless as there is a soft cap on it. % damage mitigation is ALWAYS better.
@@sarahkeith7655 that makes sense tbh it is kinda a hassle but if you have purified water and then nuke candy it’s not much of a problem that and once you unlock all the gold bullion stuff you kinda just start buying lunch boxes and perfect bobble gum
I either use vanguard or regenerating while playing full health. Vanguard for raids regenerating for daily ops. The raid's third stage sniper stands no chance against full vanguard and bullet shield. You shouldn't listen to most TH-camrs, most of them are more worried about putting out content than the content it's self. Something i learned 400 or 500 levels ago. If you think vanguard is good, try bolstering on PA with emergency protocols.
@ eh I run vamp guns so I quite literally never die lol my damage resistance is typically 920 & I put out 580 for dmg with my Gatling plasma & 1000+ for crits, bloodied or full heath. It’s even higher bloodied. I’m a causal bloodied player & this full health build ain’t half bad tbh lol I just miss out on my high dmg being bloodied 🥲
Thank you so much for making this video! It answers the question I’m always going back and forth on! Really appreciate it 💕
@@cosmicvibes56 of course! Over eater for the win

@milkyy_cal I dnt Wana be linear so I crafted full sets of OE, BOLST, VAN & a XP farming PA with all Intelligence 😀
@ THAT MAKES SENSE I wanna do that but rn I’m testing a choo choo build
@@milkyy_cal I think I put choo choose on my vanguard lol since my main PA will be the OE
Nice work testing these, been interested in doing Vangaurds and Aegis on Vulcan with high END just to see how high the numbers can go.
@@Metalweasel running aegis would help to see how high the number can go unless you prefer rangers or scanners

@@HeadHunterSix that or just nuka candy
Percentages over resistance everytime for my builds. I do like vanguards or bolstering on my mules
@@carlaspinwall4247 both of em are good in there own way I tnknk going half and half would be good but I would run full overeater

@@ericworthing1853 I agree! But overall both are good no hate to either side :)
2 pieces of overeater gives more protection than full set of vanguard
@@gaosito definitely but both mods are good!
@milkyy_cal no, vanguard useless
@ to an extent
Great points!
Appreciate you checking it out!
Whisper, Don`t wake up the parents.
@@bucsrno1 I don’t know my parents
@@milkyy_cal Oops, sorry.
@@bucsrno1 it’s okay!
Depends on your play style i use vanguards because i dont eat or drink anything 🤣
@@TheJwizzle1988 that makes sense it could be kinda irritating like before a raid stage your like oh wait lemme get my food first
THANKYOU FOR ANSWERING MY QUESTIOOOOOON XD
@@the_chunky_bear OF COURSE!!!! (This video did get a lot of hate on Reddit but I enjoyed making it for ya!)
@@milkyy_cal there's always the haters. Normally people that don't have the stones to post themselves on TH-cam.
@ tell me about it, everyone on there was saying they already knew this or how this video doesn’t prove much
I mean the raw numbers, vanguard has it. Plus, I don't wanna live on perfect bubblegum to keep the bonus 🤣
@@sarahkeith7655 that makes sense tbh it is kinda a hassle but if you have purified water and then nuke candy it’s not much of a problem that and once you unlock all the gold bullion stuff you kinda just start buying lunch boxes and perfect bobble gum
Yeah because gold bullion is soooo hard to get give me a break.
Huh? Raw numbers damage percentage has a much bigger impact than damage resistance.
@@paulcarpenter7210 🙂
@@darron614 both are good!

@@johnnyirish7940 they’re all good no shame to the mods and I used to run emergency protocols but switched to the jet pack for some parts of the raid
once you drop hp, you lose armor 🤡 thats why vanguard is useless
@@naeko7487 yes unless your healing yourself but overall both are good!
Not if you have a vampire mod on your weapon. And it will get even stronger when the ghoul comes out
@@sheaffer117 I believe ghoul slayer would be the safest option
@@sheaffer117 still, overeater is way better than vanguard, with or without vampires. simple as that
Ngl for the raids I made my Vulcan OE then put 2 Vanguards with my OE. I think it works well vs a full set of OE or Vangaurd lol idk
@@angay9614 most likey causs vanguard is good with the high number maybe vanguard is better at its peak but once you get hit of hard then oe clears
