Otherwise the aggro generation from 2 dual wielding procers is far superior.

Also worth noting... Even Blade of War was out aggroed by Bloodfrenzy / Blasphemous Blade of the Exiled (both from Cursed in Ssra/Luclin). BoWs main benefit was being able to reduce ripostes cause you are hitting far less.

I'm assuming the question was posed hypothetically, IE how would it have been different if all 3 tanks were forced to 2h or sword/board. Really, on P99, I dunno why raid tanks even use an offhand over a shield. 90% of their aggro is 5 mallet clicks anyways. Better to reduce number of swings (and therefore ripostes) and increase their AC via shield...
Don't neglect VDD! Fun weapon, not as much aggro as my dual wield setup at the time, but damn good.
