Best Aggro Weapons for low-mid level warriors (15-35)

[Nirgon]

YWC gets dat 1hb up for sarnak warhammer / ring mace of yk. Both expensive (one super expensive), but I feel he could hold onto the clubs till then, and certainly hold onto what he has until the clubs proc at 40.

I have a warrior I occasionally play on, right around your level. At 155 dex unbuffed I found it difficult to rely on those old world, lowbie proccing weapons. I tried out a poison wind censor and found it much easier to get and keep agro with.

If you are low on money though you should just get another obsidian shard. That proc seems to generate a lot more agro than the goblin skullcrusher. You should be fine once you can start landing ykesha procs.

that's the take from this story. forget proccing weapons, hold aggro as best as you can with damage. procs are always secondary to your overall dps as far as holding aggro, and on the plus side if you didn't hold aggro you at least do more damage which means the cleric has to heal less.

a poison wind censor is an excellent choice. a sword of skyfire and another weapon with a similar ratio would also be acceptable.

Once you hit 20. A wurmslayer/something combo will blow it away from mid 30's to mid 40's but hey...400pp is hard to argue with.

Save your cash for ac/hp gear and some proccers when you need them a long ways down the road.

2x Obsidian Shard is pretty much the best aggro you are going to get until 37.

that's assuming they proc. you'll get one fight with 8 procs and another fight with none. praying for a proc to save your cleric is pretty asinine.

i'd love to see this: 2 equal level warriors, one with lamentations, one with shards, competing for aggro. i can almost guarantee that the lamentations win 90% of the time.

Also, if you can afford it, an FBSS will make your life much easier.

You do have taunt in between procs. Casters should be smart enough to not go overboard. Holding agro from a very twinked rogue will be hard regardless. At a certain point it is up to the others in the group to cool out for a sec while the warriors gets a few hits in and to manage their agro intelligently from there.

Lol

and the lamentation warrior doesn't have taunt.

anyway, this thread isn't about group tactics with warriors. this is about a warrior that wants the biggest bang for his buck in terms of aggro management at lower levels. damage directly corresponds to aggro and is much more consistent then procs. doesn't get any simpler than that.

A 6/25 dagger with a junky little direct? Eff me.

How about a 6/24 with an enchanter 80dmg dot proc?

I mean, if you're Hell-bent on doing nil dps and praying for procs that is.
