Is the "power patcher" perk worth equipping for the reduced durability loss?

[kl250d]

Just wondering as i repaired my power armour about a week-1.5 weeks ago, and after dying a lot yesterday thought i should check it for repairs and its still virtually full durability (of the 200% repair)

Do power armour users who dont have this slotted all the time have to repair frequently?

Just wondering if it'd be viable to unslot it and put a different perk in there except for while repairing

PA is really resilient (or was before this patch).

You can go months without needing repairs. When I compare repair kits from PA character and non PA the PA has about twice as many due to not needing to repair armour as often.

Power Armor durability has always been extremely high and unbalanced compared to other armor durabilities.

I think the only time I repair mine with when it comes up as a score task.

Righto. I might unequip it except for repairs, as its only gone through about 10% of the white line for the over repair. I can live with repairing my armour every few months instead of twice that long

My PA character is using only lowly raider PA because i got great legendary rolls from ingame drops without needing to spend a single leg module. A lot of poison res and AP refresh and weapon weight reduction.

Even with just raider PA which surely has worse durability than the much higher end sets i go months without needing to repair.

Those perk points are much better spent on far more useful perks.

You can have a perk card granting you a chance each time youre hit to repair the armour. This card works well with the Power Patcher card.

Lowering the repair cost of PA is always nice. Not essential but nice.

No, it's not worth using.

To make it worth using, you'd need to do something like chain Daily Ops: Uplink a bunch of times and just let enemies beat on you while the connection meters fill. Even then, you could probably find a different perk that would be more useful.
