I just disagree that something needs to be done about the "proc or bust". There are quite a few good aggro procing weapons that are cheap, I certainly wouldn't consider a mid level warrior with dual SSoY a twink. "Proc or bust" even continued into velious with SoD, BoC, JK, that Vaniki weapon that I can't remember, etc.

Low level, undergeared warriors are always going to have aggro problems when they're grouped with twinks or bad players who pull aggro. I literally can't think of an era in which tanks weren't dependent on procs. In classic it was Yaks, in Kunark epics, in Velious BoC, in Luclin it was hatebringer and bloodfrenzy, in PoP it was that RZtWL sword. Obviously those are the top end examples, but you get my point. Like I said in velious, even then you had all the low level warriors using wavecrashers and frostbringers. Tanks and procing weapons is about as classic as it gets in EQ.

I was a rogue with pretty top end weapons Kunark and Velious, and I rarely ever had problems with aggro even with wars using non-proccing weaps. Only time it was often an issue is if I busted out my Tendonslicer in Luclin.
