You forgot the 70% fire resistance.
Cerberus ballistic vest and cerberus onyx armor both have their strong points. I wouldn't say one is better than the other; one's better at staying in one piece, the other's a little better at keeping you in one piece.
ih8regin:
I didn't forget fire resistance, it's just HenWen mentioned that, but not acid/plasma.
well, if you have an onyx mod pack around, you might better make PPON armor and pwn :) or PPTA/O armor will do a lot from both staying in one piece and helping you stay in one piece in a single package :)
HenWen:
I finished this game a day or two ago. I did A mod the cerb boots, they are awesome.
I think I actually got an energy vest the same day. Unfortunately the resist bonuses do not stack with cerberus assembly.
With respect to Garcia's comments comparing cerb to PTA red, I will admit that cerb is a more specialized armor. The thing is, it provides protection against everything that is really dangerous. I don't die to former captains or sergeants unless other, more dangerous enemies forced me to burn medpacks. Almost any build can dispatch these with ease. Also, by the time you can assemble cerb melee enemies should not be a problem either.
Cerb is great for wading in past several revenants or mancubi to kill the arch-vile that keeps rezzing them. I wouldn't do that with PTA red - although it might reduce the same damage against the "average" enemy, it is much more vulnerable to damage spikes. A mancubi can roll three 24 damage rocket volleys if you are unlucky - 6 flat damage mitigation isn't worth much there. But a 70% reduction is worth its weight in gold. If it were P modded cerb you would only take 12 damage.
I often find that I die to high spikes of damage caused by lucky dice rolls by enemies, rather than dying from
taking too much damage and running out of health packs. This is what happens when all six shots in a commando volley hit, or when the mancubus hits you with all three rockets. Cerb armor is the best way of protecting against spike damage.
Regin: PPON armor was very fun back when you could slap it on cybernetic armor.
