Eso wpn now or...

weapon first no contest here at all. anyone who doesnt get weapon first gimps themselfs for nearly no reason. atleast if youre progressing. maybe except healers.

for the release of 3.1 yes the new relic comes and will likely be i210 aswell. the 3.1 tower raid wont contain the weapon upgrade right at release. remember wod. it was added about 6-8 weeks AFTER WOD launched. which will probaly happen again. also 3.1 is special. i expect it to be longer than 3 months because 2.1 was longer than 3 months ASWELL if you look back. and since heavensward contained more content then a 2.6 patch would have the devs maybe will take more time to finish it then people think. personally i dont expect 3.1 until first week of october.

thats over 2 months were your eso weapon will probaly be your BEST weapon if you are not able to clear a4 savage up to 8 times till then to stop RNG from fucking you over on random loot. thats 8 weeks alone. so over 99% of players wont have savage weapon or eso upgrade till 3.1 probaly so getting i200 basicly in 8 days from now IS THE BEST CHOICE by far. next best choice beeing chest piece since they drop from A4 aswell for all classes this time.

also nobody knows how long and rng heavy new relic quest will be. could be weekly capped aswell and take over a month to finish. another month were your eso weapon helps you.

some people just think eso gear will be replaced soon aswell. it wont guys.
also you can probaly get i200 armor from new 24 raid in 3.1 while you probaly wont get weapons from there like before.
