Weapon ratio is the deciding factor for aggro before level 37 (yaks) but, aggro is not purely based on weapon ratio. Higher damage hits will also generate more aggro. Damage for a hit is based on your Attack Rating (STR) vs the AC (level differences) of the defender. Higher Attack Rating will lead to higher damage on average and as a result more aggro. When I posted drink booze earlier it was not without reason. Higher levels will also decrease the AC of the target. Distance from the mob also plays a factor. Being closer to the mob will result in being the mob's target more often.
