Need advice for Intelligence Specialization tree

Greetings everyone.
Currently I am working on a power armor dps freeform.
I would like to seek suggestion for which option I should choose in the Intelligence specialization tree to have more dps.
My current superstat are Intelligence, Recovery and Dexterity.
I would like to know where should I put my points on?
1)Experties-Increase the normal bonuses from secondary superstat( Dexterity will give critical chance).
2)Tinkering-increase defense and offense from items
3)Detect vulnerability-lower enemies's resistance bonus by more than 10%.
4)Revitalize-energy builder lower recharge time on powers.

So, which one I should use to get more damage?

I will have guardian and Vindicator as my the other 2 specialization trees.

    Tinkering, Detect Vulnerability, Revitalize and grab whatever you want for the last one.

    Grab Automated Assault for Wrist Bolter, and watch as you crank out constant AO's and everything else like a bawss.

    Deliciously nutritious!

    In my opinion switching from INT to DEX primary stat, and making sure to get Avenger Mastery for either of PA's Blast powers will increase your DPS. In my opinion you should only get INT as a primary stat to use Revitalize, and Avenger Mastery was made for PA... but you need your hand slot to use a Blast attack with Avenger Mastery and Wrist Bolter's adv. turns it into a hand slot. By switching to DEX primary stat and focusing mainly on gearing for INT you will get a huge boost to crit severity with Deadly Aim spec.

    DEX and END are actually the better choices, at least synergy wise. Go DEX for crits and resistance debuffs (to stack with Minigun and Chestbeam), or END for Kickback, which allows you to build energy while running two toggles. END also has a number of other things that can be useful in a PA build as well.

    If you really are settled on INT... You might be able to make it work the way Fudgemonster says. You can also go with Night Warrior as your passive and try to get enough flat defense penetration to make practically all resistance you'll find in PvE meaningless, outside of a few things like Defiance based enemies.
    ...I just recently realized something really disturbing. We're all eating Sodapop3's "humble pie."

    My build was something similar to the one posted in Pulsware power armor build last time. I used Int and Rec cause I am constantly fire chest slot, hand slot and shoulder slot all the time. I know Dexterity is a very good option for critical chance and critical severity as a primary option but my current power energy consumption need good energy return.

    My powers selection don't have chestbeam atm. I fire minigun, micro munitions and another hand slot weapon at the same time. My dexterity is my last superstat. I am using Targeting Computer as my passive offense currently.

    I don't have Wrist Bolter and I am using power bolt as energy builder.


    Thanks a lot for all the suggestions. Appreciate them a lot.
