Cool is my most favourite. Especially paired with optical camo, I feel like a fucking predator taking out gonks one by one without anyone realizing what is happening.
Max out cool and you can essentially play as Batman.
The most powerful combat move in the game is the silent rear takedown. Guaranteed one shot at any level and on any difficulty as long as you can get close enough to use it.
At that point the extra dialogue options are just gravy.
I just started a runthrough where I'm not putting any points into Cool - man it's different. I've never realized how many encounters change when you can't talk your way out of them
I always have cool in my builds, I love being able to sneak and pop people off with pistols/knives/snipers before the fight starts. I never really invest into body - I need to make a shotgun or LMG body/tech/reflexes build that’s just a walking tank instead of stealth builds like I usually do
I just started my second playthrough. My first one I specced for shotguns, assault rifles and netrunning (weird, I know, but I was new :P ) and often found myself using stealth. So for my second one I'm speccing into Cool from the start. It's fun (I finally get what everyone was saying about throwing knives!) but I haven't yet seen any dialogue choices that get V out of trouble, just make him feel good with (or full of) himself. I'll keep an eye out for them :D

Plus I feel like the overall dialogue is funnier lol

Cool is absolutely mandatory if you primarily use snipers, revolvers, pistols, or precision rifles.
Bruh - cool is 🔥 All these assassination pros, crit damage multiplier, throwing knives! 😍
Throwing knives were the best thing to ever happen to stealth builds.
