Probably good advice considering the state of procs. I would still use procing weapons, but I wont rely on them or build for max dex. There is not much point it seems. I probably dont need to reroll, but I will have to trade for new items.

There's some really good proc weapons for tanking raid mobs, when you need to continuously build threat through a long fight - but they are from raid mobs (Koi trident, Red epic blade, willsapper, etc)

Most tanks these days rely on having a bump while they click Scepter from King Gragnar.


In a group, however - a really fast weapon, or really high burst (Swiftblade of Zek, Crscent Blades, Croaking Dirk, Reaver, etc) is a tanks best bet to get instant threat and continue to build it,

DPS and tanks have to work together. Procs are a random factor but one you can’t change. Warriors are still using proc weapons and the good ones have a hot key for their procs. Get the best stuff possible, learn to play your class, let the chips fall where they fall.

You won’t be holding aggro of dps melees with a Reaver without root. With a sham or cleric duo it won’t be a problem. As a raid dps role, it’s a great weapon.

Outside the Frostreaver which is a passable 2h aggro or the epic 2h (but that’s not the ideal configuration outside a couple fights), you use DW for aggro and 2h for dps.

What DW weapons would you recommend that are tradeable and can be obtained outside of raiding? I do not think I'll ever be a poop socker, personally.

I’m not a warrior main (56 alt) but think a solid droppable combo would be a Frostbringer main hand and something like a Sarnak Warhammer/WESS/Ykeshan Warclub/Ri Ringed Mace of the Ykesha offhand.

Probably best droppable would be Wavecrasher MH/Frostbringer OH. Unless root aggro works for you, then Herbalist Spade.

Wurmslayer has a 0,625 ratio so it is a very good twink weapon but with damage bonus at 60 it has an efficiency ratio of 1,525 which puts it BELOW a lamentation.

On a budget get a 10/18 weap like samoht said those are good value for the money until you can get the more exotic stuff. What's the best white damage EC combo, SBOZ + BOC? That would run you 75k on green but a 10/18combo would be 5k. Don't skip haste either.

Frostbringer has shit white damage so if it doesn't proc you'll fall behind (for aggro) but if it procs you'll be ahead of SBOZ so it is a gamble.

Actually for the wurmslayer I take that back. It is damage capped until 20 so not even a twink weap. It is only useful during level 20-40 if you REALLY want to DW but still shit because you'll be miles ahead with a 2hander due to low DW skill. It was only good when you could put it in offhand. I can't believe people still ask 1.5k for it.

But the crits!! ratio isnt everything. Wurmslayer is like a 2hs in 1 hand.

In response to the other guy, the quest involved in getting a wurmslayer is part of the reason its priced that high.
