When I mathed out Hecate's Cape for TIV nukes, it showed to be the same damage as a +5INT cape and a little more dmg on AMI and gaIII.

Now with new TV nukes coming out, has anyone done the math or test to see if Hecate's Cape will have a greater return than a INT+5 cape or are they still the same?

There's now a 6 INT cape which probably isn't all that hard to get, and a heap of new gear to come over the next year.

Hecate should win on the current T5 unless you did something silly like merit water/earth potency.

It should be around the same dmg as the 6int cape.

Also there is a 5MAB cape in the dats

LOL that NM is RIDICULOUSLY strong... its a soulflayer that has like 2s waterga3 casting and melee hits 75+ sam for 400 (no crit, no WS)...I'm sure there is some strat out there to kill it, but its not like its easy to kite cuz of the fast cast and it dealing a ton of dmg quickly with spells

Depending on your build , Hecate's cape should be better than INT+6 cape on Tier 5 spells .

As Dasva said , there is MAB+5 Enmity+5 Cape , Searing Cape or something , it's best for new spells if you ignore the enmity+5 lol.

From what I read it doesn't look to terrible if you have stuns. Good blink tanks (nin/drks do both!) and don't melee it. Ya know standard low man strats for harder mobs

Most black mages disregard Enmity until they're dead anyway.

Gotta love the misinformation idiots spread here.

This NM is fairly easy to down with a balanced group of 6 (intelligent) people.
