I don't think so since we only have one DoT. Although I feel like skill speed could have a helping hand in getting all my shots in for Wildfire opener. I think Skill Speed is a more valuable stat on BRD.

I agree. But them cast times under fey wind with all the retarded amount of skill speed we get from alex gear is ridiculous. I'm going to miss it when it goes bye. :<

If you are mixing and doing BiS with AF2 armor, there really isn't that much skill speed. The BiS I made (subject to changed based on accuracy requirements on A3/4 and change again based on information I gather from other's BiS), we get a grossing amount of crit in comparison to determination and skill speed.

Holy shit, it's not easy...0.31 seconds to react...and skill queue looks like 0.5...You can't spam Split Shot and wait for procs...You are fucked right now with GB. It's pretty disgusting.

how much sks do you have as machinist? From the looks of things your lodestone is bard atm so I'm not 100% sure how accurate it is. with 540 sks on my machinst i don't have this kind of problem with such a small window :O is it your latency?

So question, do you guys think its worth to get the chest piece first then go to the weapon?

The chest piece is 4 weeks from Alex Normal while the Eso chest piece is 2 weeks.

Weapon Damage > everything else

Your ilvl180 body works just fine and still better than the ilvl190 one from Alexander Normal. Prioritize your weapon, then get the body piece next.

And it's bis. I'm debating the same thing. Delay the weapon or get eso chest.

And it will solve future accuracy deficiency.

how much dex = 1 WD?

Unless you are in A3S/A4S and killing for accuracy, I would not recommend getting it over a new gun first. If you do the math, the DPS upgrade from the weapon heavily outweighs the stats the body would give you. Get your weapon first.

1 WD = 10.71
1 DEX = 1.00

wep if you can solve acc issues (read: i180 crafted or a1s earrings+a2s belt/feet) for a3s/a4s. need around 630-635 for the frontal portion of a3s, which is likely to be flank req in a4s

if you can't.. still wep. just downgrade accessories for more acc
