NO, melee threat is strictly based on potential damage, not actual damage. I gave threat formula earlier in thread, to repeat:
((weapon base damage) * 2) + (level based damage bonus) = (melee threat per swing).
A miss does not generate as much aggro as a hit. Attack Rating increases your hit chance as well as average damage. Higher STR increases your Attack Rating. Distance from the mob also plays a factor. It is incorrect to say threat is purely based on weapon ratios.
