before sarnak warhammers or w/e proc, what weapons are good to help a warrior get and hold aggro? I know of obsidian shards and kicsh der pavz, any other ideas? Will just dps weapons like lammy + wurmslayer or whatever hold aggro well enough?

The Short sword of Ykesha procs at 37. It still holds aggro good. Not sure if its the same for the Ykeshan War club and Ringed Mace. Theres also a Kunzar sword, forget name, it procs Engulfing Darkness. The Whips from Splitpaw with the stun proc work too, but little damage. but those hold aggro well as long as they are proccing.

As far as non proccing weapons holding aggro, will probably not hold aggro as well compared to duel weilding proccing weapons. Just use the taunt button, and use it often.

PGT, Screaming mace, and other buff related weapons are options as well because the buff you receive from them generate threat as well.

@Ashimar: Kunzar Ku'juch. Doesn't proc till 40.

Warrior 1H Weapon Guide:

Level 1-16
If you're a adventurous and patient enough, camp a rotting Painbringer at SolB zone in. It's the best low-level aggro weapon to get - just take into consideration that the proc has a small ae range.

Level 16-37
Obsidian Shards are the way to go. If you can't afford 2 already, take PGT or Painbringer (if no cc in group) offhand.

Level 37+
Drop Obsidian Shards for Yaks, as with every Level it will become harder to hold aggro over melees. From 40 up it's always impossible to out aggro monks and rogues without Ykesha proc.

There are no other pre plane 1H weapons to consider in regard to aggro. Everything else would be a waste of money.

^^ with regard to pre-Kunark...so it's validity is limited, but it's still helpful
