Which Weapon to mainly use?

[kgallowaypa]

I have the following:

2H
https://wiki.project1999.com/Ancient_Fire_Etched_Flamberge

and Combo:
https://wiki.project1999.com/Hammer_of_Battle
https://wiki.project1999.com/Venomous_Axe_of_the_Velium_Brood

Should I just be rocking the 2H until I get better raid drops for a dual wield combo?

Thanks in advance for quick answers

It'll depend on what level you are and what you're looking to do, but assuming you're xping and looking to tank I'd vote 2hander as it's solid and the 1handers don't seem like a strong combo in terms of agro.

I haven't mathed it out and may not know what I'm talking about, of course!

Hmmmm that's a rough choice. ToV weapon with a > 1.0 ratio, or a Venomous Axe that's only good for lowbie twinks..

It's your haste that matters.

My warrior is level 49 now with a 32 haste belt iirc

I guess the main question is should I just stick with the 2h to 60 since I won’t be able to purchase some crazy dual world combo? Obviously the venom axe sucks but the hammer of battle paired with an offhand might be suitable? Been a long time since I’ve played this warrior and just getting back into it.

Your warrior is level 49 with a NTOV sword...?

Two hander will take you a ways, especially once the damage bonus scales 55+ you’ll create solid white dmg. aggro. Solid duel wield combo (infestation/frostbringer) will generate more aggro if (big if) you get a nice string of procs but the 2 hander will be smooth aggro.

Demand roots if you keep losing aggro! Also earth pet is a warriors best friend

imagine having tov loot and not knowing what to use

get fucked op

Oh toxigen how the forums have treated you, you used to be more pleasant back in the day. Anyways, of course it’s almost a no brainer but let’s say I paired the hammer of battle with oh I don’t know infestation or a decent hate generating item, we still going with the 2h just because of ratio? I heard there was an update to 2h in some patch but I haven’t played this char in over 2 years.

hammer of battle sucks, cause its primary, hope that helps. Sorry you made it this far and dont realize it yet.

Idk there are so many douches on the forum. From my testing this chart is accurate for 2h weapons in the current timeline up to 60. https://lucy.allakhazam.com/dmgbonus.html?setcookie=1

If you look at the row for your delay (44 delay) you can see the damage bonus at your level. It scales really quickly post 55 but ahead of that your ratio will still give nice consistent white damage aggro.

Things to consider:
-your damage bonus is affected by level and isn’t great below 50. At 49 it’s only +15 which will affect you aggro generated against a high lvl char.
-melee aggro is effected by haste, and your haste cap below 51 (74%) and below 55 (84%) are going to seriously affect your ability to generate white damage aggro against let’s say a lvl 56 epic rogue at max haste.
-procs are not impacted by this level/haste so getting good proccing weapons could help you keep aggro, but it will be very streaky
-the meta consideration is your dps, you should do solid dps with that weapon which depending on group composition may or may not be critical to your experience.

Short answer, it’s a great weapon just roll with it. Long answer see above ^
