Warrior Weapons on a Budget!

I think you're perhaps being a little hyperbolic there. I don't think most warriors completely ignore their damage from 1-60. The question is about FBSSs and Thick banded belts, so 'only bring a warrior for defensive' (or similar) attitudes are even relevant to the discussion.

The question is actually about Warrior weapons on a budge. The FBSS was an aside, and the TBB > FBSS argument is a derail, and it is inherently wrong on top of that.

At fbss and TBB levels damage is a concern as a warrior will be at minimum a 6th of the group, and often one or two group members will be focused on healing/utility so the warrior will be doing a decent amount of the groups dps.

The Warrior is in the group to be an aggro magnet. That should be the number one focus. Bringing up that the warrior is 1/4 of the damage dealers makes it sound more important than it is because even though he is 1 member out of 4 that is dealing damage to every enemy, his damage contribution is not going to be that high proportionately (unless he's got some really bad DPS).

For context Dekk is level 10. Damage is relevant. He says he struggles to find groups, aggro is barely relevant.

It's even more important to have decent aggro generation at level 10 because other DPS has not yet learned to play their classes.

I'm also not going to let you provide the guy with misinformation because he might believe you at level 10. Do now downplay the importance of haste. Do not tell the guy to save up half the cost of a FBSS only to waste it on a DPS item that goes in the same slot. You cannot wear FBSS at the same time as TBB.
