difference between heavy and power armor?

[Anri of Astora]

both require 45 str, but which is better?

[Cutlass Jack]

Well its like comparing a suit of plate mail with Iron Man armor.

I wouldn't take either talent til you find a suit. You can get your first suit of Heavy by the end of chapter 1. Power Armor you find much much later.

I have never gotten power armor.

[PK_Thunder]

There's only one suit of power armor in the game. 99/100 you're going to want heavy armor.

[Паинтер]

dont worry you cant have power armor without cheats xD

There's like 2 suits that i found before finishing the game. Both with the reputation system. There was one for Pasqal at i think the last rank of the explorators and the drusians had the regular one. Oh and there is one for Argenta if you make the right choices at her quest in ACT 4.

[Khryst]

there are 4 suits of power armor in the entire game.

One for Ulfar
One for Argenta
One for Pasquel
One for someone else with the talent.

soooo... one suit for the rogue trader or Seneshal. Thats lame. I wanted to go team bash brothers with my MC dogmatic santic melee psyker, The Seneshal himself, and Mr. Cold and alone Hieny all in some power armor.

I mean it's not that I don't get it, but you might want a couple of dodge tanks. If anything because their damage output is waaaaaaaaaaaaay higher.

Until after one unlucky hit they get broken arm or some other trauma. They hit harder, that is true. But every hit that lands has a huge chance of placing agi melee out of commission for the whole fight. Armor focused melees are less prone to getting traumas when played properly.

But that is on higher difficulties, like hard or unfair. On lower difficulties risk of getting trauma is a lot less, so i wager agi characters would fare better than armor ones.

yeah personally i gave the power armor to my rogue trader arch militant who was already spec-ed for heavy weapons (the armor reduces AP cost by 1, and then there is another way to reduce AP cost by another point. forgot if its a talent or accessory but that means the 3 cost burst fire from my heavy bolter becomes just 1 AP)


abelard I gave him the heavy armor from one of the colony managements that gives him 85% armor and 5 deflect (+Carouse/10) at 142 carouse that means he has 12 deflection (+1 from a talent forgot the name)

most of it is different variations for the same characters, there is still only one that can be used by anyone which makes me wonder why on earth its even a talent let alone one you can get so early
