Also works on HoT drakes from what I hear(?), which is awesome

Calling bull on this one, but I could be wrong. All HoT drakes are flagged as immune to changes in their run speed.

Whip is sweet though, got one on warrior and it is yummy [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.].

Also, best time to use whip is when torpored. Your haste is negated so you have very little threat from white dmg...might as well put on a high threat proc weapon at that point, which is where whip comes in.

beware about Tserrina's Whip: it is ungodly rare, it took me 56 kills to get... took about 5 days of leaving my roommates warrior camped out up at the bats, logging in every hour to clear them... annoying mob to kill too, stupid unresistable spinstun proc ughhhh

but it is amazing: highest aggro proc in the entire game, also has the side benefit of being a 4 min duration, 40% snare, that is POISON based, so it can snare a lot of things that are otherwise immune to snare based on being immune to magic. however, it wont snare things that are hardcoded immune to movement changing effects (ie - hot drakes), the spell can LAND but it wont actually snare.

proc seems to do about 1400 aggro.

Yeah takes a bit to get a whip. I guess it was just hear say on it's snare landing for HoT drakes (didn't realize they are flagged as immune to run speed). Ah well

[eisley]

yeah drakes are immune, but thats not classic. i believe dald posted proof that drakes shouldnt be immune to snare.

i think that wyverns, racnars, and wurms are all root/snarable however.

Have a question about my weapon setup on L20 warrior:

I have Frostbringer, Lamentation, and Venomous Axe. What is the optimal setup for threat, and for DPS?

Am I right in assuming that the answer to both is FB main, Lam offhand, and sell the venomous axe?

Blade of Carnage not being second to SoD surprised me.

[Naethyn]

Blade of Carnage doesn't have a proc on this server. With that said, I consider the very best warrior combo to be a Jaelen's Katana primary and Blade of Carnage secondary under the premise that if a warrior slot can have 100 hp I only consider items with 100 hp for that slot.

Naethyn has a good point there. Stats are really what matter in a lot of cases. In groups you can root. On raids you can use the highest stat wep+sheild (dagass+whitestone?) and you can hold agro without attacking (+no riposte). Agro clicks can be traded out if youre not attacking. Thats taking it to an exreme but it is probably the best way to tank something like AOW

Wrapped Entropy Serpent Spine needs to be on this list, and high up there to boot.
