How to Dragoon per Second: A DPS Paradigm

No way, it's 700 accuracy. It is what it says it is: a plan to not buy non-BiS pieces. This is a practice I would discourage beginning raiders from adopting. If you already have the 3 months of esoterics gear, and miraculous luck with drops, okay fine. Realistically, you should optimize around what gear you have or will get soon in order to take down the fight you're on.

Ah, yeah, I agree with you. I had so many people giving me shit for buying the Eso wrist before the chest (which I just bought this week) because any sooner and it would have given me an immense surplus of accuracy at the cost of a reasonably large sum of skill speed (and points of crit) since I had the 190 chest. Even now, buying it forced me to "downgrade" from eso wrist to alex wrist just to maintain a skill speed that I'm comfortable with, until next week, when I can round out my set with the head.

But yeah, you shouldn't build toward "best in slot" just because it's "best in slot" when you're months away from even having a chance at getting certain pieces (twines, mostly) from it.

I was just confused as to why those sets contained pieces dropped on the floors they were designed for. I guess it's like "This is what you should aim for for the next floor" which seems silly to me. And the whole "avoid buying non-bis pieces" jargon would be believable if the A3S set didn't have (upgraded) eso wrist+neck, of which only the neck survives to BiS.

What kinda group is gonna feed you four coats when you only need 3 for your bis and you have 7 other people in the group who all need at least 1 each as well?
