Warrior Dex Gear Suggestions Needed

[Snaggles]

The Wurmslayer was good in kunark. Its benefit over 2h is a very narrow level window and assumes the Reaver isn’t like 6k and the Herbalist Spade isn’t out yet. Also assuming Seb dirks aren’t like 1k and Guard Captain mallets are half that.

Sure, if your 2h option is a Stave of Battle the Wurm is appealing for a while. Do keep in mind your offhand isn’t doing much from 30-40. At 60 it only swings 75-80% as much as the Mainhand (if the same delay).

This. Faster is better. More DPS and better threat than relying on procs.

But the crits!! ratio isnt everything. Wurmslayer is like a 2hs in 1 hand.

In response to the other guy, the quest involved in getting a wurmslayer is part of the reason its priced that high.

Yeah but 400pp weapons outclass it in every way so I'm not sure why someone would pay 1.5k to gimp themselves.

At what level? Aggro doesn’t matter until mobs can one or two shot dps.

At HK goblins I expect fast weapons are best. Around 40 though those two 10/18’s aren’t keeping up with dps from a 40/40 or even a Herbalist Spade.

If the OP is going to group with their spouse on a shaman outside the 1-30 dredge of low weapon caps, 2h > everything. My warrior has two blood points in his bag and still hasn’t maxed piecing.

Yes they are. I used SBoZ and Seb Croaking Dirk on warrior, duoed with a shaman. Shaman would pull with slow, and I was able to rip aggro immediately.

Grouped in City of Mist with rogues, and I was still able to keep aggro with just auto attack, the occasional taunt required to snap aggro back to me.

Things are slightly different at level 52 now - Reaver is starting to out DPS the 18 delay weps, but only by like 5 DPS per fight. The Reaver pulls more aggro on misses than the low delay weps, but both setups work well for aggro.

In every exp group (so far) I haven't had a problem with aggro - not saying it's not gonna change, but the 18 delay weps dual wielding totally works for aggro in my experience up to level 52 in velks.

Sure go for it if you have the budget then [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.] just a bump in price from a Reaver to SBoZ.

crescent blades of luclin was the topic, and its only 1 less dmg than SBoZ, so is the croaking dirk

I am honestly just stoked that we're having a gentlemanly conversation about warrior weapons. And debating what's best.

You idiots (with all due respect) are making me feel like a teenager again. And I love you all for it.

P.S. Even Doctor Strange commented. I'm good now.

If that’s the case, a guard captain mallet is less than 1% worse and you can get a pair for about 1k. Damage bonus starts to run away with 10/18’s but by mid 50’s I’m not sure I’d personally be using DW over 2h unless it’s an aggro goal.

I used a Reaver to 56 years ago. Sacced my warrior to 45. Started back again when I got a Twisted Steel Bastard Sword and I’m 56 again. Just never been a big DW fan, tbh.
