Warrior offhand 50+

[Peekae]

Im nearing 50 and I'm wondering if it would be worth it to use Blood point or another OH over the usual snare whip (assumming sarnak hammer mh)


Budget is about 10k so no RMoY or BotBDE yet.



I know the hammer /whip is quite efficient but a lifesteal proc I feel would be quite helpful if it wouldn't gimp aggro that much. Blood fire looks interesting aswell

[Sickpuppy]

The whip sucks .. Blood point is better

[Ele]

bloodfire is awful

[Splorf22]

I disagree, the bloodfire is fantastic for solo/duo - 500 damage for a proc is great. The problem is that the aggro is low and xp groups will kill stuff way too fast for boil blood to do its work. Probably the sarnak warhammer/silken whip is the best combo until you get an epic, sadly enough. Kunark just fucks warriors on midlevel weapons.

Trilioch's Skean is underrated. You can probably get on for free if you find the right person too

[Peekae]

appreciate the input. I may look into a skean anyone have any input on how long the clockwork stun is? And how much damage does the small dot actually put out? otherwise may look towards bloodpoint or just save for other bits of gear

[iasus]

bump. I too am curious about the skean vs whip assuming sarnak hammer mainhand.

[theaetatus]

I'd go for a yak (Ideally scimitar) offhand rather than either. Bloodpoint sucks for aggro, dots are troublesome and yaks proc like crazy.

[Elements]

Now? Wurmslayer. After next patch? A yak or snare whip.

Now? Wurmslayer. After next patch? A yak or snare whip.

Why do you say that? Are they changing proc rate?

[gotrocks]

wurmslayer will be mainhand only, no more offhand

Go 2 yaks until your higher lvl, my aggro in groups with RmoY and snare whip was pretty damn good and highest dps with parse, unless I had a vp geared rog around, then i would switch to 2 yaks <scimitar and yak club or rmoy>

The proc rate just seems higher on yaks than other weps and the DD + 0.0 sec stun is good.

Stack up your dexterity.

I personally dislike Sarnak Warhammer, I think its a shit weapon.

[Peekae]

hammer while meh is prob the best for the money considering other options quite a bit higher (RMoY) etc.

OH wise I am currently using whip / BP depending on my aggro needs.. BP oh has a decent proc rate and solid stats imo though the proc is less aggro than whip.

I haven't had a chance to try yak scim / skean however

edit: level 55 now as of this post

[pharmakos]

i've got a Sarnak Hammer, 2x Blood Points, a Blood Fire, a Snare Whip, and a Yak Scimitar. i leave the Yak Scimitar in the bank. imo the ratio on it sucks too much for the proc to make up for it.

I use Sarnak Warhammer/Skean for agro.
BP/Whip when soloing (with truncheon) or w/e.

[pharmakos]

^^ http://wiki.project1999.org/Trochilic's_Skean ?? is the proc on that really worth the measly 10/25 ratio?

[Volibear]

If your grouping all you want to do is maximize aggro, sarnak hammer and whip does exactly this. If your soloing/duoing go with the bloodpoints they rape.

No.

[pharmakos]

i used to always use Sarnak Warhammer MH / Silken Whip of Ensnaring OH

lately i've been using a Blood Point OH though and I seem to get a bit better agro

i think maybe the proc rate on the BP is above average, but dunno for sure

confirmed noob.

BOUNCED

[Noselacri]

Snare whip isn't great because snare is only a medium-aggro spell and the item has an AC penalty. Always go for something with a stun or slow proc. Can't really get the latter on a one-hander until Velious, so I'd use a Sarnak Warhammer in off-hand with RMoY in main. BotBDE is good but will cost a fortune, and Skean should also be good but can't be bought.

[pharmakos]

^^ sarnak warhammer / RMoY is a great combo, but imo the warhammer should be in the mainhand and the RMoY in the offhand

[pharmakos]

^^ that is bad advice IMO. even at 200 DEX you only get two procs per minute. you need a solid ratio in order to hold onto the agro you get from procs.

only Yak worth using 50+ is Ringed Mace of Ykesha
