looking at equipments of high lvl's they tend to favor the cape of Tauren Chieften... will like to ask how is this cape is so effective... i know the big bonus is the magic def... but other than that i wonder if its a worth while cape to get. thinking that lower lvl gear does not give as much refinement bonus and how its' other bonuses (+hp/mp regen) are kind of little to be effective, really want ask experienced users on how this cape is worth while...

would like to add if anyone could kindly give recommendations of other good capes in the game.

    get event magres cape or yearly cape, it wont get any better than that.

    tauren cape can be outdone by a good magic massive hp/magres cape with sockets.

    My cape is:

    3* Cloak of valor (3 Beautiful HP) +3

    4+ str
    4+ dex
    298 Metal Res

    I would much more rather have the str and dex than the hp/mp recovery and as for the Magic res I still get the metal res which is probably the most important. Also my cape cost 100k when i bought it and the Tauren is like 5m?

    See its black and white now. It means I quit! How poetic and stuff.

    I agree. That Mdef seems to be alot while it really isn't, i'd rather have a bigger hp bonus from a refined/sharded higher level piece.

    Exactly. I don't get why people pay so much for that cape. Before the event, people use to buy it for like 7 mil. The HP/MP recovery on it is pretty much worthless so they are basically paying for the 250 Mdef. Consider how small of a percentage that is, even for BM's, it should not worth that much money. There are many normal capes that give much better bonus such as combination of +HP +VIT and +DEX etc. and those could be found for under 500k.

    with ep buff and lvl5 or lvl11(demon) marrow its actually a lot of mdef, which makes u much harder to kill.

    a magic cape can be better but these are damn hard to find

    The cape is good. Get 4 sockets and refine the ***** out of it.

    I agree the cape is well over-hyped and there are alternatives just as good as, or in some cases, better. But nothing wrong with a tauran cape at all. It's a great cape, 250 IS a good bonus, especially when buffed/marrowed. There's nothing "useless" or "worthless" about it at all.

    I like the +250 mdef.

    That +250 is like a equivalent of +7 on a grade 11 elemental necklace. Not bad at all if you ask me.

    I guess it depends on your preferences ultimately. Personally I chose +250 mdef over stats.

    unless you can get an event cape, tauren cape takes it hands down. 250 mdef might not seem like a lot, but with sage or demon marrow it adds up. bm's need as much mdef as they can get as magic attacks are what will break through charm and kill you in pvp/tw.
