Cape Helmet Preference

KawaiiJen - Heavens Tear

So curious what your preference was to capes / helmet combination.
Examples : G15 Nirvana Cape/Helm
G16 Nirvana Cape/Helm
WoC or MC/ WoE helm or something else

And would you rather have the addons from G16 and the 700 hp set bonus or the addons from the G15 and the 5 attack levels?

I personally still think the 200 pdef/mdef as well as the 5 attack levels and 2% more crit is a better trade-off over the slightly increased hp gain from the set bonus and higher grade refining as well as a few extra stat points.

Average total gain comparison at +10 Advantages are in red. So I guess it is playstyle based.

G15 -
HP - 2369
Pdef - 200
Mdef - 200
Attack Lvl - 5
Str - 0
Dex - 17~20
Vit - 9~10
Mag - 0
Crit + 2%(Not including Dex for another %)
Reduce Phsyical Damage - 0%

G16 -
HP - 3445
Pdef - 0
Mdef - 0
Attack Lvl - 0
Str - 6~12
Dex - 24~48
Vit - 6~12
Mag - 6~12
Crit + 0%
Reduce Phsyical Damage - 1%

Assuming you get max stats on G16, you're getting 60 points that could be stated into dex. Even though getting 60 dex is unlikely, being on exactly 20(x) number of dex point is also unlikely, so you're still getting back the crit rate in a lot of cases.

I think most people would take 3.5k HP over 2.4k and 200 of each defence.

5 attack level is nice, but the up to 60 dex (40 over G15) gained gives another ~30% weapon damage. Without doing any calculations I think that will equal the +5 attack level on a +12 R9 bow.

Basically G16 is probably better, but is it worth the billions needed to transfer +12 JoSD on your G15? Probably not.

Keep in mind that the 5 attack level is pretty ****ty... its more of a 2.5% increase in damage. Lets just assume a 30 dex advantage from the g16. 30 extra dex over 500 is a 6% damage gain. Don't think I need to get in to the defense/hp advantages...

Umm.. 6% more dex does not give you 6% more damage.
The actual damage increase with those numbers would be 3.9% more for demon (3.8% sage). Thats only on normal arrows though and all skills will have less of an increase.

5 more attack level is a 2.5% increase when fighting something with 0 defense level but if you're fighting some R9 opponent with like 60 defense level it will be a 3.5% increase in damage. The damage difference in this case is pretty negligible.
