Pre-Proc Wep Warrior Aggro. High dmg vs Fast Attacks?

[VincentVolaju]

Was wondering when it comes to holding aggro on a warrior before youve got proccing weps like yaks etc, which works best on this server? Is aggro based off of the amount of total dmg done to the mob, or is it more about total # of attacks against us? For example, would using a Staff of Battle (31/37) that will hit for huge #s be better aggro then DWing quick attack weps like Lammys / Jade Maces etc.

Anyone know how it works here on P99?


Edit: Also side note, is it true that weps proc more often in general here on P99 to help Warrior aggro... or is that not true?

Obsidian shard x2 is all ya need, procs at 18 I think, and they're great aggro.

Root the mob.

TT whips proc really low don't they?

[Tasslehofp99]

Rooting can become terribly inefficient at lower levels.

Gnoll lariats proc at low levels but I'm telling you until yaks proc you won't find a better aggro weapon than the obsidian shard. They have low delay and decent proc rate, and are pretty affordable/easy to acquire.

polished granite tomahawk also procs low lvl and is very good aggro...plus its a rune. on a good build you can solo with it pretty efficiently, as well as hold solid aggro (runes are big aggro).

would go stun or root or obsidian shard in the other hand.

Just out of curiosity is there a guide like that for Rangers?

Fast attack is king of aggro. Croaking dirk is better* aggro than procs.

*more consistent

Smoldering brand ? 500pp, proc at lvl 1, rather low delay.
Lore though, you need to find something else.

2 Lammys will hold aggro like a boss .. better than proccing without uber dex, gl praying for dat yak proc before the mob dies in 30 secs.

I am assuming you are referring to lv 1-46 xp groups here. Unless your dex is 130 or above proc weapons are lackluster for aggro in xp groups. Sure will look good when you do get aggro though, oh shiny particles wooo.

A pair of Jade Maces work well also. Pretty uber DPS. Speed kills like they say.

Doesn't proc rate improve for every full +50 dex starting at 105? I'm sure that's what live parses showed...
