Gear Question

I don't really want to make too many recommendations since I don't play warrior, but have you considered going Giantsgall axe with a single tier IV accuracy meld and then double meld bracers with whatever you're short on? You'd get 26-30 accuracy on the axe, which is comparable to mogaxe and garuda in terms of accuracy. If you find you really do miss the 20-25acc from the gloves, there's always food, explorer's choker, and +1 electrum rings to offset that.

Keep in mind, giantsgall caps primary around 330 or so too (compared to 350ish for lieutenant weapons), so it'll depend on what your stats come to exactly. You may want atk instead of str on giantsgall if you keep the acc gloves.

Just thinking it'd be a lot easier/cheaper to single meld giantsgall and double some bracers/gauntlets than the other way around. And then you have the option of triple str gloves (or whatever the desirable meld is in ARR) when you upgrade the axe.

I'm currently getting 50 acc from gloves. (and 100HP)

I already have +50 acc and +36STR between my rings and gloves. I don't see much benefit from changing this unless I get gloves minimum of +40STR. and even then I'd say I probably want +50 to really be worth the swap. so if i really only get double meld gloves i'm just moving STR from rings to gloves. which i dont' see the point.

To get the same amount of accuracy, I'd need to get the LT axe and 2 +1 electrum. (be slightly higher actually) and would need to make sure i'm activating the set bonus. I could get explorers choker, but is that worth sacrificing the +30AP? I'm assuming not. the only thing i would consider swapping this for is the militia choker.

If I got a giantsgall i would put STR on it. i'm below STR cap, and would gain more benefit from that, and hitting cap, i think than getting +AP or +acc. but my sergeant axe has higher DPS. so i'd need a good double or maybe even triple meld of STR to make it worth getting over the LT axe. So i'm not sure this is worth it. I'd almost need to redo my entire gearset if i really want to get a giantsgall.

The party bonus is rumored to be going away in ARR. meaning Accuracy will be playing a much larger roll, and not just needed for Garuda or other highly evasive mobs.

Thanks for the input.

are you missing attacks? if yes, then the explorer's choker is worth it.

No. I have +50 acc currently. I've only parsed a few things, but i've been above 95% acc for most everything. which is good enough IMO. one of those was the skirmish with the great buffalo etc. and that was when i was lowest, and still just a hair above 95%.

I may need it if get rid of my officer gloves and get +STR gloves. but i'm pretty happy with having my Acc solid with jsut gloves and not needing to use 4+ other equipment slots to maintain it.

but most of the time i'm on WHM anyway. especially for things that matter. The general feeling i'm getting is what i have is probably good enough if i'm back-up tank.
