So with eso reset

[JayCommon]

Well Lucrezia's WAR was rocking melded jewelry, but I guess a top fc doing world first progression doesn't qualify as "top end pve"

Exactly. For a tank, the i150 crafted jewelry is easily 5x better than any option at the i190 accessory level. Maaaaybe not than the i210s...I saw the stats had a decent jump from i190 to i210. But you still can't have both STR and VIT on raid accessories so your gimping yourself either way removing crafted if they are melded well. Would I rather have an extra 30 VIT or an extra 150 STR? >.>

yup thats right highest craftable item 2 months after launch for xpac for crafters weps/jewelry is ilvl150 enjoy

And for a tank progressing in savage raid, those i150 jewelries are amazing, almost unbeatable. I promise you i150 Slaying/Fending accessories sold, and sold well. On every server. I agree that there should be more things that are viable, though, and understand your point. Crafting in this game has always been a kind of high-end niche thing. Yes, anyone can do it...but not everyone wants to go through that.

This is why they make games with limited choices, if you give people choices a whole bunch will pick the wrong one.

This is amazing. +1


I'm getting my DRK weapon first, then I'll be getting the body.

I'm going to save all mine until I'm capped on the 2,000 we can hold right now, then decide, but it probably won't be the weapon

And this is the type of person I've been aiming to hear from. You have your Hive weapon, but only have a 180 body (loaded with acc at that). Would you mind going a bit into your reasoning?

DRK tome body is also loaded with accuracy~ But maybe he wants to deal a bit more damage rather than gain a few more vit and ~80 defense? Or maybe he thinks it looks awesome? o:

Sure. My static was only able to go in to savage A1 on Sunday for the whole first week (someone changed jobs and has to go through training at his new job while still working at his old job for 2 weeks, we raid as a team and I don't believe in "finding replacements") and we got the oppressors to about 45% in around an hour and a half. We beat Faust on our 6th pull. Our healers are pretty good and haven't had any problems keeping me alive yet, except for beginning progression and learning when things were happening. Both me and the WAR in my group collectively talked about this with our entire group, and the vote was unanimous for all tanks/DPS to get weapon first for more DPS. As long as my healers are confident, and their performance reflects that I will gladly up my DPS to push faster. You saw my lodestone I take it since you knew my gear. Did you look at my accs? In party I have 890 STR and 880 VIT. Upgrading my weapon will give me a considerable boost to an already very large DPS potential.

I have over 2000 defense in party and A4 NM tank buster still hits me by 4-4.5k a pop unmitigated. The extra 40-80 defense I would gain from getting the body piece just doesn't sound like as good of an investment to me. And we already know the DPS checks are very real in savage, with Tank DPS being included in the needed formula.

I mean, I do still plan on getting the body piece with Eso next. But the first 2 turns of Savage were cleared by people who have 2 weeks worth of drops from Alex NM and the rest i180. No one had better than an i180 body piece during those first clears. I think with the few days a week my team will be able to go for the first 2-3 weeks of savage Alex, I will be ok with my Law/Alex NM body piece.

"Cuz it looks cool and I wanna look like a Dark Knight."

I feel like this would have been a decent response if I was making the claim to get my Dark Knight body before the weapon. The Dark Knight AF gear looks amazing and I can't wait to have it all, even if some of it is glamoured because it isn't as good as the savage gear. But your snide attempt at a jab towards my potential reasoning only succeeded in making you look ridiculous. Have fun with your assumptions; embellish how it makes you appear.
