Best use of Tempest Coins?

So I have about 250 Tempest Coins at this moment and by the time Angelic Buster is released, I'm guessing I'll have about 400. I have all of the Tempest set except for the Pendant and Hat, only because the Pendant doesn't count and the Hot Time hat is better than that hat. I also don't have the Angelic Buster weapon because it's not released yet, but I was wondering what I should do with my estimated 330~ish coins after buying the Soul Shooter.

Should I buy more of them and a bunch of scrolls while trying my luck, should I buy the set parts again for more % DEX (only have 3% on the Tempest Ring) or should I buy things like MMBs when Angelic Buster is released? Thanks!

@thingy97: Why not scroll it? Get a chaos scroll of goodness + AEE. then it's GG.

Not purposely; I guess I should put more emphasis on the question being asked. Out of those three choices, which one should I go for?

If you're not against scrolling, try to perfect an AB weapon once they come out in the Tempest store.

The 8 set bonus is +10 attack and +15 all stats, if I remember correctly. The Tempest Cape itself is 7 (?) all stats + 1 W.ATT/M.ATT, so I'd be losing 1 W.ATT and gaining 3 all stats for the price of 200+ coins. Not worth it and I probably wouldn't scroll/enhance it.

The losses outweigh the benefits in that case. I don't want to pay $3 for an SoK/$4 for a PSoK (forget which one it would be) to transfer it to my Angelic Buster, I'd lose the 8-piece Tempest set effect since I don't intend on getting the hat, and I'd be out of most of my coins.
