Complex Warrior Question - Proc Threat Amounts

[remen]

First of all, there is quite a bit of misinformation in this thread. Off the bat an important one to correct is that a proc needs to land to generate agro. Whether the proc is fully resisted, partially resisted, or fully lands, it generates the same amount of threat.

White damage (weapon ratio) is more important now that there is a cap on the threat from procs. The way threat from a proc changed is that the agro component is capped at 400 threat (ie poison counters, stuns, slows, snares, etc.). However, if the is a DD or DoT as part of the proc, that gets added on top of the 400. So that is why some VP weaps have made a comeback. As an example, feverblade was mentioned which has the disease counters that hit the 400 hate cap. But it also has 110dd AND a DoT. So the threat from the proc is 400 + 110 + the dot. And the ratio is pretty good at 11/18. However, it may not be used as commonly on raids due to having 0 hp / ac or any other stats.

Trident is highly regarded because the slow is cold based, therefore it can land on otherwise unslowable mobs like Vyemm or Kreizenn. And even aside from that it is a very good threat weapon anyways, with a solid ratio a 400 threat proc + DoT, and 50hp and 10 stam.



The following post is so bad it isn't even worth correcting. Maybe half the information is accurate.

Mix and match, have fun. Feverblade and redblade is the realistic BiS aggro generation you're ever going to get, suitable for trash tanking, xp groups, HoT etc.

-Raid tanking there's a great argument for Trident+Redblade for the CR slow on mainhand and switch after proc.
-Slowable raid tanking silly not to use sapper+trident then switch to something better.
-AoW, Vyemm and Tunare tanking max the hp so Redblade and Jaelen.
-Rampage tanking obv horn of hsagra+whitestone.
-Soloing shit in chardok Jaleans and blue blade.
-DPS in the crowd Kriezenn flame/Vyemm Club and blue blade.
