I agree with Gwens plan.
Please remember that for the next 2 raidnights, my presence isnt confirmed, but if you go RavEX, you can pick up an heal and yeah, dont mind!! You have my blessing.. Now kneel and kiss my hand!! Mwuhahaha!!
It's okay Kheo, we will probably runs it a few time in the next month (until Arion gets back), with one or two person missings (because of vacation or work), so hopefully we all have the 190 weapon for when we start Savage for real.
The new esoterics gear is there and it's ilvl 200 (better than Alexander normal). You can get 450 per week. You can upgrade it with item you get from Alexander (savage) 2 and up. You can use 4 token (that you get from its floor) to get the item.
990 for weapons
825 chest/pants
495 head/hands/boots
375 belt/accessories
So with that in mind, we should totally do Ravana ex to get a few weapons for achivement and for people that will not buy weapon as their 1st piece. But after that, do we have a better plan to spend our raid time, until everyone is ready next month?
I still think farming out RavEx will be a good way to spend our time for now. If we get weapons for everyone that is here, that means those people can spend their tomes on other stuff and save their weapons for later / gear up faster.
Edit: Also, apparently the DPS check at the gate/trash boss of Savage-1 is pretty intense. Without gear, we're not getting past that guy any time soon. :D
pretty sure everyone has law gear (maybe not all upgraded) but for dps at least with gear of the same ilvl the biggest upgrade is pretty much always weapon > chest/pants > the rest. But until you get the esoterics weapon, of course the ravana weapon will be better, since at the very least you will not be able to get the esoteric one before the 4th of August.
We don't know what the accuracy caps for Savage is, but since almost all the Esoterics gear as accuracy on them, some BiS for dps will come from Alexander normal (until you can get your hand on some Alexander savage loot anyway)
Also, since we have our main pretty much figured out for raiding, people may want to update their secondary class. Mine will not change and it shall be warrior. (unless other people really want to tank beside me and Andaris, who I think will change from PLD to DRK). Because we may need to run a floor of Alexander at least 8 weeks to get enough token (depending on the gear), if we aren't lucky on the drop.
