Seriously. They're level 50 capes! They can't even get good potential! Are they a lot more common than the higher level capes or something? I know this probably sounds totally nooby, but please answer my question O_O

The fact that they have 2wep attack that can be upgraded to around 10weapon attack or more if you get really lucky with chaoses o_o? the potential wont be as good as a higher level cape, but its good until you can get a very high %main stat cape when youre a higher level and it makes more a difference.

[quote] xpulsenoint : Why can't people just go along with higher %str potential and bonuses though? Won't PACs/PuACs be SUPER DUPER expensive? [/quote] Or even better, a Taru Spirit cape, its level 80 so it gets higher % bonuses than a PAC, but also comes with 3 ATK and 5 STR. Sucks that its warrior only tho.

[quote] xpulsenoint : But seriously, I could get 10 wepatk and barely notice the difference.. You could chaos anything too... [/quote] 10 wep attack is probably more than 10% of your damage range. That's a big difference. And why do you think people pay so much more for 20 att SCGs/BWGs over a 10 att wg? In addition, well potentialed capes are also very expensive as well, so PACs can be an alternative, esp for lower lvls.

Plus its cheaper then getting a high level cape and spending tons and tons of money on cubes. Yeah no thanks not spending 30-50$ on a piece of equipment just for stats.

Well, at least to me. I barely hit 1200 at max, and hitting 1140 would be fine with me O_O. Thanks for the help guys.

Thanks for the help guys. [/quote] he said 10% of your damage RANGE , NOT damage . You know, the range listed in your stat window? adding 120 to your damage range is alot, since if you had a skill that does 300% damage, you'd get 360 more damage right? for higher levels it adds even more. Besides, if you think high level potential capes are better than pacs, why don't you try finding one and compare the prices. And plus, 1200-120 = 1080, not 1140 >.>
