so, thanks to the 1540 express, I got my 1st character /main blue gunlancer to 1490
Now, I'm trying to figure out which way I should progress most efficiently.
1 have 4x nightmare and 2 erupting for my armor, all set level 1 at 15. gems are 5-7s, card sets still working but 1 card shy of tapping LOS 12. Tapping attempts past 15 is/has chewed thru my minimal gold, so hanging onto my 25k to begin raiding/growing on now
with the raid changes, it says valtan/vykas to complete my nightmare set instead of mainly vykas

my question is this: should I focus on doing valtan/vykas or just skip over to NM Brel pugs to try to begin progressing to the relic armor. maxroll of course says do valtan/vykas hard mode for set pieces then Brel G1-2, but hasn't been updated since june

I'm NAW/Mari, no static or guild to lean on and since I play fairly casual, its hard to devote hours to raid.
I have nothing but free time for the next 9 days that I could spend time raiding as I'm on vacation from work.

Thanks in advance for thoughts shared
