Its a problematic theme.
a) take a PGT 6/26 or an obsidian shard 6/25 with a proc but slow ... not so much damage but aggro when it procs.
b) take a - as example a silverish scimitar 6/22 with more damage but no proc
Damage = aggro so the constant stream of aggro from b) is better.
Proc = aggro so when the proc comes early in fight a) its better.
But these damnd procs happen to go when theire not needed and then 5 in a row .... and when you need them ...
The second part to mention is
a) mobs tend to fight ppl. who are in melee range
b) the nearer youll stand to the mob the more he hates you.
As a caster on max range you can to a degree overnuke (while standing) and have no problems (sitting is another problem).
As a melee youll have to stand on max melee range except when youre the tank then youll have to stand on min melee range ( nearly inside the mob).
Most tanks I see are standing there when the mob starts attacking them and do not close up to the mob.
I tried it in a twink group with a silverish scimitar and a dragoon dirk and min melee range and my aggro generation (mob losing) was not greater than of our other war with an obsidian shard in main ... but my aggro genteration was better in the time he used his pgt ( he did not stand min range ).
In kunark lamentation 9/19 were the warrior weapons (fast / no proc ).
