Firecape/Trimmed Skillcape

Featured Replies

In what instances would the trimmed skillcape be used over the firecape in combat? I'm just curious if I should be using firecape all the time.

what i'm doing now:

Fire cape is a more offensive option, as opposed to the defensive uses of a skillcape.

 

 

 

It depends what you are doing. I personally would go for the firecape to speed up combat, but if you want the extra defense (translates to less healing), then go with the skill.

I think Fire Cape is better in every aspect except for Prayer Bonus? It has better defense, attack and strength bonusses if i'm not mistaking.

Like he said, the skillcape has a better prayer bonus when its trimmed, but thats it. You can also argue the +1 boost you get when you activate it, but thats pretty moot because you probably use super sets.

Personally i've never used any of my trimmed skillcapes in combat. In non prayer situations, fire cape beats skillcape by far, as it has better stats in everything except prayer (which is +4 compared to fire capes +2). And even in situations where prayer is needed, i find the extra +2 prayer not worth sacrificing +1 attack bonus, and +4 str bonus.

I use it when I chinchompa, because I prefer 4 prayer to 4 ranged attack bonus.

 

 

 

That I don't get. You're spending a lot more money on chins than ppots, so why would you try to maximize your ppots but not maximize your chins?

Your equipment consists of:

    [*:r864vjuq]Fury

    [*:r864vjuq]Ranger Boots
     
    [*:r864vjuq]Archer (i)

 

 

 

You have +179 ranged attack, and 13 prayer. The increase from +179 to +183 is barely noticeable (a 2% increase), but the increase from 13 prayer to 17 prayer is noteworthy (a 31% increase).

Void is far better. You should use that.
