Talk:Rubicon Power Assist/@comment-37510065-20190104210428

With a handful of other [BLACK] armor pieces, my physical resistance with a [RED] Power Assist (augmenting physical and thermal) was something like 84%. I've now picked up a [BLACK] Power Assist. I stuck with this set of armor because the speed boost really helps me stay alive. With 22 points in Fast Movement and a pair of [BLACK] Dragonfly boots, this is great. I can stay away from pretty much all zombies, even while backpedaling, unless it's something like an extra fast necrosis. With Titan Power Assist boots, the speed would be unusably high for an Assault on adrenaline; if I got a pair of [BLACK] Power Assists, I'd probably respec and take out a few points in movement. Any other characters, I'd probably equip the Power Assists anyway.

The recovery time gain can be helpful sometimes on Apoc and Nightmare. On Virus Samples, the recovery time is a lot shorter (something like 8-10s base?), so it matters less. A lot of the time on Apoc, I'm matched with my peers or lower levels (my Assault is level 100), and if I am down, then chances are the team is not going to last much longer. It's not the biggest draw, but again, it is a nice thing to have.
