It's 80%, just tested it to make sure nothing changed

Thank god. Almost gave me a heart attack.

I'm still torn about the next choice. I'm currently in A3S Phase 2 and got Weapon+Chest+Ring(upgraded) so far and the Gordian bracelet from A1S which I can't use at the moment cause I fall below 500 accuracy.
My next raid will be unfortunately not until next Monday and on Wednesday then again. That means I will have 5 Pages from A1, 4 Pages from A2 and 960 esotherics till our next serious A3S attempt. I tend to not buying anything until we cleared both IDs for A1+A2 and then decide where to put my pages and esos in but Gordian ring and eso boots would be a good choice by now (and bring me to exactly 539 accuracy)

Or should I go for main stat first for A3S and take the pants and later the head? I don't like their stats tbh ...

What eso pieces are everyone getting this week/next?

I got staff/ring/body so far, gonna do belt next because it's a boost to HP and spell speed, at the cost of an accessory.

Currently I have eso weapon, chest, and bought the belt this week. Have Gordian braclet, and will get Gordian ring tomorrow. Most likely buying eso boots this week depending on drops

Isn't A2 belt BiS? Why is everyone buying Eso belts?

[Xisin]

this week from an endgame perspective is problematic and heres why - If you are very fortunate (as I am) then you have drops. I will be getting boots from pages this week out of turn 2, this will complete my loot from turn 2. So boots from eso, while bis imo, arent really efficient for clearing As4, I'll be getting the gobtwine this week for my body. I have the gordian bracelet, which kills the bracelet option (and a great one it is.) I cannot get pants til next week - and even then I"m unsure if I want them. I already have eso body, weapon and ring. The necklace will inflate my accuracy considering I'm picking up boots from a2s this week. The hat will also inflate my accuracy and I'm just gonna wait to clear a3 again before I make that decision.

This is imo the best choices however-

boots, bracelet... and uh, well everything else is accuracy bloat. I do not know what I'll be getting.

I'd use this week as filler purchase if you are lacking anything super important like accuracy. I really don't think the hat from eso is worth it un upgraded from prototype gordian, unless you need the hp. and well screw the legs.

so lets looks.

weapon - acquired
hat - accuracy bloat
body - acquired
belt - Gordian is better and I have gordian
legs - accuracy bloat
boots - good choice but I'm getting a2 s boots and this solves my accuracy problems this week + is worth considering I cannot upgrade eso boots just yet
neck - meh If i needed the accuracy... i guess, this is the only gordian jewelry I don't have and is a piece I'd rather get from drops. We'll see.
Bracelet - good choice here, but I have the 210 piece, this would be a downgrade this week, upgrade in the long run
ear - I already have gordian and I like it better than eso
ring - I have it

So ya boots, bracelet, necklace seems to be the best choices.

Any advice on what my next 2 Eso pieces should be?

I am working on A1S atm, and am a little behind in the Eso department (sitting at 236 right now, which will be 686 once I cap again after reset).

I currently have the Eso weapon & chest with almost everything else i190. One ring is i180 which makes me think the Eso ring it is the better option for now. That would leave me with 761 Eso after the next reset when I cap if I get the ring this week.

I am thinking this week ring, next week boots (depending on my savage progress of course)?

@Viuiji: I would do it exactly as you suggested. Ring (obvious choice, even if you get the A1S ring) -> Boots (BiS, A2S boots are still far from you)

Thanks!

I have a thought, wouldn't fire IV under leylines be stronger than Thundercloud proc under leylines? So that means while leylines are up, would thunderproc be a dps lost?
