W.A.R Suit?
Is this the best one? Or should each suit type be equipped with a specific class?

(Playing Vanilla btw)

see vanilla doesnt help me, because that could mean absolutely no mods or DLC, all DLC but no mods or no DLC but mods.

please be somewhat more specific abotu that.
W.A.R suit = Tanky with specialized heavy weapons.
Wraith Suit = More mobility, useful stuff like a grappling hook and the wraith ability that allows you to run through walls when activated.

They are both the same tier item, its a matter of preference between the two.

For me spider then wraith suit because speed is the essence of war :)

Pure Vanilla. No mods, no DLC, no nothing.

And sweet so I was right to equip my grenadier with it. Might use the Wraith suit with a sharpshooter or ranger.

There isn't really a best one, but I like the W.A.R. suits.

You have a basic choice out of 3:
Heavy weapon, armor
or Wraith & grapple, dodge, mobility
or 2nd utility slot

Pick one. You might want different suits for different classes.

Had one equipped on my heavy. Totally saved my squad from a sectopod XD
Personally in the base game I utilized both war suits and wraith suits, but personally found wraith suits to be the go to armor in WotC, except for on specialists, on which I prefer warden armor so I can run med kit + skulljack.
War suit is dope but only in base game, with alien hunters dlc you have the ruler suits which do so much, not leaving to much space for a war suit, if you even want one.
Base game though it is fantastic. I did the final mission with 6 psi ops all wearing war suits, the idea was that psy ops aren't as good against mechanical targets so have them bring heavy weapons to deal with the robots.

WAR is if you don't need the mobility from Wraith and you often have an explosive equipped in the 2nd slot for your soldier or your a grenader who would love having 3 explosives in their weapon slots instead of just 2.

Wraith is if you need the extra mobility from grapple and don't mind that grapple takes a slot up.

Normal is for specialists who like to carry around medkits and skulljack or really anyone who uses two items without them being damage grenades.

WAR is best, but only if you have enough shredstorm canons and blaster casters for them. IMO blaster caster is best because infinite range big AOE explosive that can level buildings? Yes please. But shredstorm is also amazing and I think it just straight up shreds all armour, as well as tearing massive holes into buildings and dealing pretty nice damage.

I mean, if you're at the point that you can build war suits you've already won your Xcom 2 playthrough and you should really just take whatever is coolest

Shreadstorm cannon is my fav if you know how to use it. I've cleared enitre maps of obsticles with it to the point where my XCOM turret in the Avenger defense mission could see the spike and shoot it since they have squadsight.
