What about as more of an up and coming Warrior (on a budget) what are the best aggro weapons? Maybe it doesn’t matter until 50+ as I’ve heard I’ll struggle regardless.
My warrior is approaching 40 and I have Venomous axe mainhand and frostbringer offhand for my aggro set up (will switch once 40). Is this approach totally off base? I use staff of battle for DPS fwiw.
Are their tiers of aggro weaps to aim for? I will have access to kael/hate/fear/DN level raiding mobs but definitely not VP.

The 400 per proc threshold is very difficult to overcome. For that reason it’s easy to gear for a budget. Sure the epic warriors will hold aggro better but don’t fret. Frostbringer MH is the best thing you can do at the moment. Dump the Ven Axe as it doesn’t even meet the hate max. I went with a Ykeshan War Club (procs like 35?) and then a Sarnak Warhammer. The Traciloc’s Skean is another throw-away reward for anyone doing a rogue epic.
Not sure about the snare whip or tash stick meeting the 400 hate cap but they are nice pieces to have in your “kit”.
Keep leveling. Don’t fall into the “I can’t tank without ____” bs. Just don’t use the objectively wrong weapons in the same price bracket. You will never snap aggro like a knight so don’t worry about that. Get your hps/ac up and go for the dps/disc tank roles. That’s where a pally or SK can’t match you.
