War agro weapon question

[Sonderbeast]

Sarnak battlehammer + frostbringer is good dps and good aggro

[Jauna]

Get a Wurmslayer mainhand and use that frostbringer in the offhand.

procs are neat on raids and people romanticize the idea of procs because that is what they use to tell people to attack but leveling up shit dies much too fast at all levels to worry about procs to hold agro.

Try a Wurmslayer out for awhile, worst case scenario this post cost you 2k

Wurm gets worse as your increase in level right? Since your main hand bonus goes up weapon speed becomes more and more of a factor?

On my warrior, who is only lvl 40 still. A wurmy puts out some crazy dps with Rbg and the clicky from watchmen arms. 50+ I will probably replace, but as of right now. I dont know anything that compares for the 1.5k I spent on it.

I do not know, my war is still using a wurmslayer at 51 because of its reliability on agro. Now that I think about it I am not 100% sure if the MH bonus effects agro.

Yeah WESS is a ton of aggro but honestly unnecessary for group exp. You don't need to generate butt loads of aggro every fight, you just need to out pace the next guy and there's only one or two items better at that than Infestation, but none so easy to get as Infestation.

I've said this in other threads, but I'll primarily keep Infestation in my mainhand for aggro and offhand will depend on who I'm grouped with. If I'm having trouble keeping aggro I'll use Frostbringer. If it's easy enough I'll use Dagas. If I need MR it's Jagged Blade of Mourning. If I wanna have some fun I'll use Club if the Ice Ocean as well. For raiding I recently tried out WESS in primary and Dagas in off hand for Vindi. If it's something you're gonna dump a midnight mallet on then you're probably gonna get Torpored as well as using defensive discipline at which point your dps doesn't matter. But with those weapons I had an extra 32 AC, 100HP, and 5 MR, which was great because I'd never lose aggro with 5 mallet charges + a few procs of the whip.

I think I got off topic a bit.

Wurmslayer is competitive for dps up until the low 50s. From then on a faster weapon with a ratio of 0.5 or greater will generally win out, especially something like a jade mace that's fast.

Tserrina Whip (procs at level 35) + Infestation

unless a war has ToV drops like deep sea's or a few VP drops even with epics is hard for them to out aggro me with these things on. White dmg not so good but with seahorse belt + eye patch im getting after them really good self buffed i'm always pulling mobs off SK's and pally with these things that snare + counter, mobs hate is very high.

SO
WESS proc at level 1
Infestation proc at level 1
Venom Axe of the brood procs at level 1
Frosty at level 40
everything else of use not till 50...(you cant even zone in till level 46)

any combo of the above works very well through the level's

What about using a frostbringer + Club of the ice ocean from 51 when club procs?

[Troxx]

Club of the ice ocean has an alright ratio but the proc is only ~150 threat (about half of a poison counter's worth of aggro). Silken whip of ensnaring proc is about twice as strong.
