Forum:Ashur's or Tribal?

I am currently deciding as to which power armour I should choose from The Pitt's choices. I have yet to buy The Pitt, but like the file I main with, I want to have everything prepared in advance.(P.S. my character is AWESOME) Which should I pick: The Tribal Power Armour or Ashur's Power Armour? Oh, and which is better: The Mauler or The Man Opener?

Thoughts? -Raella

If you are going for looks, I'm pretty sure they are identical. If you want something functional, I think they are both slightly inferior or equal to regular old Brotherhood power armor (disappointing yes, but realistic), so there are several power armors that are much better for that.

The Mauler is better for most enemies, but for enemies with high damage resistance (mirelurks, deathclaws, etc) the Man Opener ignores damage resistance, so it may be better.Cavesloth 03:35, 1 April 2009 (UTC) Cavesloth

Well, I do have the Winterized T-51b power Armour, but I wear the Outcast Power Armour for the strength bonus, and it's cooler. I also wear the Chinese Stealth Suit with the Button's Wig because it is hilarious. As for the Man Opener, that is an excellent point. But I am not dumb enough to try meleeing a Deathclaw... so the Mauler is the best choice for me. -Raella

Ah, I forgot about the strength bonus, my strength stat is maxed out. Yeah melee vs Deathclaw is a tad suicidal. But in areas with lots of Mirelurks (the Anchorage Memorial for example) I suppose the Man Opener could be useful. BTW if you use any of the AutoAxes, they are much, much more devastating when used in VATS, which not only kills faster, it makes them degrade slower.Cavesloth 17:19, 2 April 2009 (UTC) Cavesloth
