Thank you both for the help. So I should focus on getting proc weapons early on to tank?

For what it's worth, when I leveled my warrior (Kunark era), I didn't bother using weapon processes to hold aggro until I could proc Ykesha at the minimum. Even then, if you can make it to 46, you can focus on weapon procs as the mobs are tougher and will take longer to kill by a group.

Part of the reason I went this route is that mobs die so quickly at lower levels and procs are so sporadic. I figured I was better off dps'ing with my staff of battle, dual lammies, or jade mace / fist of zek while letting the fungi IFS monk tank in between roots. Warriors are pretty terrible 40 through 50 in my opinion (because the skill caps). However after that they get considerably stronger with each level. I was always jealous of my monk pal Raev tanking just as well as me and doing more damage while holding aggro non-stop!

That being said, I'm sure there are even better dps options with nice damage procs now that Velious is out.

TLDR; it's kinda silly to wield a bad proc'ing ratio weapon on a trash exp mob for aggro purposes when its going to die in 15-20 seconds. If it's that important you tank, just ask for the mob to be rooted.
