Word on the street is hate from blind was nerfed. It's not even good for paladins to use any more.

In short, do not use WESS.

is there a patch note somewhere here this is confirmed? i tanked docks in the hole a few weeks ago on my paladin and didnt have any problem with aggro using blind.

I feel this may be an issue specific to warriors - my warrior’s fennin ro bp (aoe blind) used to be great aggro but now no longer.

huh, i guess i just hadnt noticed on my war since the wess is in his offhand right now with frostbringer in mh, so im guessing me not having noticed it on the war is due to the frostbringer having enough aggro to make up for the blind not being as good as it used to be.

thats a bummer if its true, wess used to be a great cheapish weapon that could actually make a warrior feel like a tank in groups due to the proc going off at level 1.

Unless something was changed very recently, this is not the case. FoL doesn't cause nearly as much hate as it did years ago, but it should still be reliable.

This is just my personal findings and feelings. I have done no parsing and I have only played my warrior to level 50 now. But I have been using Frostbringer/WESS as my group combo since level 40. Personally to me it feels like the WESS proc generates better aggro on a normal mob. When Frostbringer procs I sometimes will loose aggro right back to a Rogue etc. But when WESS procs I can move around the camp and the mob will almost always follow me. With that said I still use Frost (main hand) and WESS (offhand). Regardless of what is better/best this combo still works great for holding aggro. I only have something like 125 dex while wearing a fungi/ no dex buff and get plenty of procs to manage hate.

Cool thanks for the link, seems pretty definitive.

I have all the weapons discussed here except sod. I've also spent a lot of time in groups, mixing the weaps around. There is no "best weapon combo".

Reality is you don’t want BIS aggro generation most of the time

This is true. It's about generating any proc, not about which proc. The top weapons don't differ threat so much to be considered game changing. You can have the top 2 proc weapons and with max dex there will be MANY times you just don't proc for shit.
