What is the better value for Eso? (WHM related)

He said he doesn't intend to do savage Alex.

Then pretty much anything left side will suffice if not doing savage, provided they have the Hive Cane already. If not, then nothing else is a bigger upgrade than a weapon since 20 ilvl is a huge jump, let alone 10 from Hive.

Personally I don't plan on getting the Eso body, unless it's glamour later, as a WHM. I'm waiting for the Alex body. I had the i180 legs still, and the Hive weapon. The increase from the Hive weapon to the Eso was less than 1% difference compared to the increase of the i180 legs to the i200 legs. Plus I get to keep Det from the Hive and increase Pie with the pants. Tomorrow I'll pick up the Eso head piece. I'll go into raiding Savage with 2 left side pieces while others go with a weapon and maybe a right side piece.

The Eso weapon isn't that good for WHM, so I'm waiting for the relic. Since weapon damage doesn't scale the same with healing, I don't have to waste 900+ Eso on a weapon I'm only keeping for a few weeks. It allows me to work toward my final build instead of using a band aid weapon that I don't even want.
