How far will 476 acc get me in second coils?

With deviled eggs, T7. For T8 using lava toad legs would put you at 499acc which is above flank/rear caps. For T9 it's below frontal cap but not really that big of a deal...(of course only till you manage to miss that fully buffed full thrust and you cry lol.)

Can't wait to see what new abilities they give us with level cap raise. I'd love a "death blow jump" so it would it would useable at say 5% and you jump up in the air for longer (a bit like freya..maybe the length of a cast) then land with some cool effects and inflict damage and some kind of debuff

Guys, what is the opinion on the Astrum Helm and Astrum Belt? I currently have the ST helm and belt equipped but am wondering if the Astrum stuff would be better. It would give me more Str, Acc, SS, Def and M.Def, but at the cost of quite a bit of Det. I'm currently only at T7, so the HA stuff is out of my reach for now.

Hope my fellow dragoons have been doing well. Been a while since I visited

Both Astrum pieces are pretty much the worst pieces you can get :P ST helm is a good progression piece, I don't remember the exact stats on the belt, is it 12 acc/12 det? That's pretty good if so. Remember that 3 det is worth nearly 1 str, so 16 det on the helm is like getting 5 str. I've been trying to get rid of my weathered astrum helm for months but no RNG luck lol (and I refuse to upgrade the crappy piece)

Astrum helm is crap. Avoid it now and forever. In 2.4, try to get HA hat or poetic hat (depending on whether or not poetic's stats are appropriate)

I thought that might have been the case. Thank you for the clarification! Let's hope 2.4 provides some i110 alternatives then.

From the prelim patch notes:

Jump - The animation lock after execution has been shortened.

Spineshatter Dive - The animation lock after execution has been shortened.
·Recast time has been reduced from 90 to 60 seconds.

Dragonfire Dive ·The animation lock after execution has been shortened.
·Recast time has been reduced from 180 to 120 seconds.

I really hope next patch will bring better gear in terms of secondary stats. T8 never dropped HA headgear, so I just had to stick to i90 and then Guardian's Helm, and right now I really could use a head piece with accuracy, what with T10 and all that...pffff. I'm afraid I just might have to either farm T8 or buy the soldiery helmet and be done with it. I'd just like to avoid doing either @_@

Anyhow, what is in your opinion the "worst" gear slot in terms of ilvl110 that we've had so far and that we should try to change ASAP in next patch? I mean, regardless of what the new stats will be (we'll probably know this Monday), what would probably the "anything better than that" piece that we should replace?

Assuming BiS, we probably want to get rid of the chest or pants imo. HA Head and Belt are pretty good if you have them, so id rather exchange some other slots. Really depends on what stats they offer though. You might be reliant on the accuracy of the astrum chest.
