Dragoon Gear progression

[PheonixCain]

entering week 4 Since Alex normal release
most people should have got to around i187-188 with the Alex normal gears

im at i187, with all alex gears except chest, gloves and one of the ring
and my stats are

str 946
accuracy 651
crit 586
det 391
skill speed 624

if i get the alex normal chest my det will even drop further more down to 350 ish
and... yeah, 651 accuracy, that's huge headache

my group is currently at 40ish % in A1 savage, which looking kinda promising to clear it this week, but, cant count on that rng to drop me anything for gear progression atm

to be continue...

im really just wnna ask which Eso piece i should get first, i know most people will gonna say the weapon, but the Eso weapon for Drg is a direct upgrade from the Hive spear, which, we dont reli gain any other significant stats from it, and it needs us to wait 3 weeks, in that 3rd week we also cant get any other piece other than that weapon, MOREOVER, with that Eso weapon and full i190 Alex gears (assuming nothing drops for me in savage), im gonna get nearly 700 skill speed... that doesnt look good at all my friends...

so it comes down to either the chest or the pants, chest is acc/crit and pants are crit/ss, but if i get the Eso chest first, my ss will drop, to a point i may not be able to use GK as often as i can now; if i get the pants, the stats seem balance, BUT either way i still gonna have quite low of Det and TOO MUCH accuracy.

so please, any suggestions are welcomed, let me know how u planning for ur gear progression, Dragoons

Full Alex Normal gear and Eso weapon would only give you 642 SS...

Don't look too much on what stats to get when it comes to prioritizing a weapon or armor, because the weapon always win.

The Eso DRG weapon have same secondary stats as the Hive one, and if you just look at them, it doesn't look like a huge upgrade, but it's all about that 9 extra STR and 2 extra weapon damage, which is like the equivalent of 18 STR.

In other words, the weapon isn't just your best option, it's your best option by far.
