Well I currently have a 8 str ic2 But my damage is terrible and I am 80 base dex, so I'm looking for extra damage anywhere possible, and since I'm himing probably for the next 40-45 lvls, I won't be moving much or needing speed, so I was thinking of switching to a taru or PAC So which of the three would be better for me?

Pac if you have enough speed or is training in a small map. If not, keep the ic2. I've never been a fan of the Taru. Dex requirement + low resell value = junk.

well he has 80 base in which taru starts at higher atk and str, and its cheaper. go for it i guess?

1) IC(2) are generally the optimal cape until 90, unless you can find a good enough PAC/Taru 2) I'd suggest a PAC at this point just because its very hard to find a Taru or find someone willing to sell theirs because of its rarity it normally over priced but if you can find one at a affordable price thats better then a PAC at the equivalent price then by al means go for it

Uh keep your icarus 2 incase you ever need to solo. Speed helps. I have the same stat cape specifically for himes.

I wouldn't recommend switching to an attack cape. I bought a 3 att PAC and regretted it, the 200 damage boost didn't help me kill whatever I trained on in less hits. I guess it would help if you were bossing, were dps counts. Your damage will increase after you have access to the endgame weapons (lvl 100+), though with the new maker skill you could try forging some equips with str and speed, and then change your cape.

i agree haha, you might want to swap to a 3 attack or so when you start skeleing to improve 2 hit consistency, but before that...i don't see the reason to once you get high leveled enough at himes your priest won't be able to go fast enough xD although maybe that's my 138 himing experience talking ... :D

Himes move fast. You want to keep that cape for a bit longer.

Annihilatron : Himes move fast. You want to keep that cape for a bit longer. Thanks, but I train with a priest, so I don't do anything except spam fury ;o Guess it's ic2 for me...

Icarus Cape 2 = worth it. Keep it until you don't need to move so much But that's not going to happen until the late 12x's anyway Or if you ALWAYS party. Either way a little damage < Speed to solo better

i say taru since you got the dex for it lulz psst: chaos scroll it and hope it boosts atk!

I'm keeping an IC2 until forth job, where rush makes speed less necessary.

Annihilatron 08/14/09 + PM | QUOTE | PERMALINK | REPORT

speed is still totally necessary.......just a little bit less necessary. I train nominally at around 130 speed+pill, although with loss of pet, i'm sitting at around 123+pill. Although, quick trick these days, is to just hang around a minidungeon. Keep entering and leaving until you get the 40 speed boost, and then leave and go train wherever you want.
