The Ranged skillcape is lacklustre so I propose modifying the stats once combined with Vorkath's head.
Due to skillcapes having no attack bonuses, even the Ava's Attractor is superior as a back option to the Ranged skillcape which requires 13,021,068 more XP to achieve.
An update added the ability to combine it with Vorkath's head to bring it in line with Ava's Assembler's ammo saving effects, however, the Assembler remains a better back option than the cape, which again, takes far more effort to achieve.
I feel the Ranged skillcape would be a far more viable back slot if the stats remained as they are UNTIL it is combined with Vorkath's head. Then, bring it in line with Ava's Assembler. So, once combined with Vorkath's head, it gains +8 ranged attack and +2 ranged strength.
This way, an item that requires far less of an investment wouldn't be superior to a skillcape which is meant to be an achievement for your time and effort placed into a skill. It would give players who felt that they had achieved something the option to display it with pride without reducing their max hit.
It doesn't feel like an achievement to get your skillcape when there's an item that requires less of a time investment that's the best in slot option. As it stands, the cape's only purposes are: aesthetics or to waste bank slots or space in your POH.
