So I just finished Apocalypse Nigh. I was really just doing this for story completion more than anything else. I actually find my options for the earrings a bit underwhelming.
Hollow and Ethereal seem to be my best overall options.
While my BLU is still low level, I do think Ethereal Earring would serve me well in light of all the soloing I can already do on it and also based off of duoing with BLUs in Nyzul/Mire Camp. I've also started to see COR turn into a passable soloist as of the August '07 update think it could be useful for that end. Evoker's Roll is now very reliable for refreshing, the worst we can ever hit is a 2 MP a tick roll most of the time, and 10 now also is a 3 MP a tick roll.
I think it could be really great for soloing on COR considering how much damage it can null now with things like Protect, Cocoon, Phalnax and such under sub and Gallant's Roll and Magus Roll through main. You can actually reflect about a good 30% of damage on a good Gallant's Roll now. Even if Ethereal doesn't give a 3% damage-to-MP covert, that's technically still 3% damage mitigation anyway, right?
Hollow earring seems OK, even better when coupled with Beaters earring and /RNG for Barrage and Slug Shot, but its still not alot and I think I can stand to lose accuracy for better stats elsewhere rather than pile on more. The Update also kicked up the potency of Hunter's Roll pretty hard, so if I really, really need accuracy, I can just roll that (permitting the PT really needs it, I already know of CORs abusing the privilege so they can sub WAR) .
Magnetic could be nice for the MP and spell interruption, I haven't really dabbled with Choral Roll enough to see if its Aquaviel effects got adjustment. But as you can see, I'm basing much of this on what I can dig out of my COR buffs.
Static I just have no use for.
