What should I go for with my ESO as a warrior

Weapon or armor?

If you take anything that isn't a weapon first on any class at all, you're doing it wrong.

DPS checks are everywhere currently, and you can tank just about everything in slaying accessories anyway.

If you intend to do Alex Savage, then weapon first.

Weapon first. Always, no matter the content or time in the game. Weapon > all

After that, armor, then accesories.

Everyone is getting weapons, except maybe PLD because their sword isn't too good I heard

People buying body pieces and accessories before the weapon and wonder why they can't even meet Bismarck EX's DPS checks.

If they can't meet dps check for Bismark with 180/190 weapon, i200 isn't going to save them. Heck even my pld does 600ish Dps on A4 as OT. And I spent most my time running around like a chicken with my head cut off

Or go in order of replacing lower ilvl first, but always weapon first.

the secondary stats on hauteclaire are a bit trash but +2 weapon damage is always a huge deal and besides, its only 695 tomes, gotta take advantage of the pld discount.

Hauteclaire brings bad memories of FFXI (It was the sword that made me quit lol).

WAR's Parashu has trashy stats too. But as mentioned before, +2 weapon damage is a huge deal.

Sword isn't great, but most of the armor is just garbage. See so many plds out there with the new body, and it just makes me cry. But either way, weapon damage is kinda king. A sword upgrade with crappy secondaries, is still better than an armor upgrade with great secondaries.

The Hive Battleaxe has Determination which was greatly nerfed in HW, the Parashu has Crit which now stands out over Det. Both have Parry on them (yuck) so it's a wash there. Overall I would consider the Parashu an upgrade over the Hive Battleaxe in both weapon damage and secondaries.

Weapon, and I would go for Alex body and focus on Pants from Eso after weapon. The Eso Body/Alex Body have the same secondary stats for WAR, which are terrible, and the Alex body is probably easier to get at this point because it should be all you have left out of Alex. Once you do upgrade your chest, regardless if it's Alex Norm or Eso you will lose a pretty hefty chunk of ACC so the pants can help fix that.

I know parry is like the only tanking secondary stat in this game, but come on, WAR AFs is just stacked with it. Not only does our AF2 looks like garbage, it is decked out with garbage stats. Makes me sad.
