Lowbie warrior can't hold aggro?

[Jimjam]

Something worth noting is the off hand can't double attack until 150+ skill.

Furthermore, the off hand can proc, even when dual wield fails to produce a swing.

As such at low dw/da skill levels (if you don't want to go the two hander route) I've found it much preferable to have an aggro/utility proc going off at half rate in the offhand than an offhand dps weapon that is struggling to swing a quarter as much as the primary.

I've used a polished granite tomahawk on a few characters and being a rune / str buff helps generate aoe aggro, pads your tanking and improves your primary hand dps. I suppose the obsidian shard could be used offhand for the nuke / ac debuff to generate aggro and help the melee's dps.
