Generally accepted upgrade paths mean you probably won't be grabbing new accessories during the first couple of weeks, but Eso and Alex Savage will be off lock-out. Even if you don't have people to grind A1S with, you can go grab 4 bolts from A1N right now and wear that as a junk set until you spend the 2 or 3 hours needed to grind enough eso for a full set of fending replacements. Annoying yeah, but I don't think it's as bad as you're making it out to be.

There's a difference of 7 main stat per piece of 190 and 210 jewelry, so a tank with 4 pieces of 190 and 1 210 piece would have 28 less VIT than someone with 5 210. Sure that's a disadvantage, but it's not going to be a problem for anyone but those doing early Midas progression. And all those people probably have enough pages, spare drops or eso right now to replace their slaying with fending.
