So with eso reset

[Azper]

Weapon first, of course. Bonuses to all major stats plus weapon damage--can't really beat that.

[QUOTE=Dererk;3192614]Youv made 2 posts whining about crafted gear get over it besides this threads discussion is about eso tome gear. People had plenty of warnings that crafted gear would serve no purpose in end game.

Yup but that was my point... With no crafting gear.. Eso tokens really only have 1 path.. a weapon then body/belt then ect.. anything else is just a rearrange of that order due to drops or mismatch stats for class. If crafting had ilvl180 weps fairly obtainable crafted HQ and stuck with 5 materia MAYBE it would hold as a placeholder while people got what they wanted. But without crafting gear to compete with eso tokens its really a 1 path to gear and thus the 5 pages of the same answer.. O ya know.. our weapon.. der da derp

Wasn't it always this way though? Just like they did when they released the wootz weapon some time after the usual tomes progression path?

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.

[DragonHunterG]

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

[Sessurea]

gonna be boring and go with weapon zz.....

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?

Then I must be bucking trends cause, as I've mentioned, totally not getting the weapon. My first was a bracelet, next is body then either feet or earring. Will be getting both feet and earring, just not sure which first as both are Alexander. Only weapon that has my eye sparkling is Hive Bow. iL is never a good indication of quality, as you and many others have said about the crafted accessories. Crap iL, godly potential stat spread. As such, I take iL with a shaker of salt, show me the stats and I'll tell you if it's good.

Weapon has Critical Instead of Parry
Weapon has way more base dmg.

Weapon!
