SK 1H or 2H?

[DeathsSilkyMist]

With the new 2H upgrades on Blue, I would say do 1H until level 30, when your damage cap goes up to 60, then swap to 2h. Easiest path would be Ebon Mace to Reaver. Keep the 1H and a shield for when you are grouping. More tankability will be great in groups that already have good dps.

Thank you everyone for all the ideas, Items mentioned, I'm writing everything down and will follow your tips. I will get me Ebon Mace soon.

Speaking of servers, I'm on Red, everything you wrote is the same for red I would assume?

I do not know much abouy red, sadly. Red has Velious, so the items will be there. But things like Reavers are probably rarer due to raid content going untouched for a while, at least so I have heard. I assume Red has the same patches as Blue, but I don't know that for sure.

I'm an amateur but its 1 hander for low levels and 2 hander after 20-30.

Maybe shield if ur tanking or raiding at high levels.

Or shield for pvp.

But especially one hander at least 1-20.

Almost pointless to have two hander under 20.

[A Knight]

Well I mean two hander for jousting.

But maybe shield for being jumped, like crested mistmoore shield for that extra resist boost and bash. If you can't afford 100k gear.

Ebon Mace at low levels, then bag it for a 2hander, those 32/36 lances are pretty cheap if you can't afford a Reaver

At what average prices are selling for? Would you link one of them sere, so I know what to look for it? I found this one, but I think you didn't meant this one, since you said "pretty cheap" :-) (but it is 32/36 Lance though)

As my fellow Knights here mention grouping dps doesn't matter while tanking, I ask, On Green Server, during Kunark era now, would a weapon such as the OG SSoY be a viable option while tanking just for the aggro proc? Even in low 50 or mid 50's?

Probably not. It’s good aggro when it procs but isn’t when it doesn’t. With a good spell cycle a SK with a MOSS can generate all the hate in the world. Or use a 2h like a Rod of Lamentation or Throneblade of the Ykesha if you want an aggro proc weapon.

Honestly, once you get disease cloud, you can hold aggro with auto attack turned off.

As you level, you’ll get clinging darkness and shadow vortex. With those 3 spells you won’t ever have to worry about aggro. Keep weapon skills trained up, and use whatever weapon you can afford. I think the progression I went with on blue was:
MoSS<Noct blade<Velium 2h (best quality one you can afford) < Greenmist < Epic.

You won’t see velium weapons or greenmist on green for a while. Ebon mace is a fine option too.
