I'd actually just save up for 2x obsidian shards or 1 shard and an enameled black mace

Thanks mate. I will be playing the Warrior if we go this route, which seems the most likely as we have the characters already made (I'm sitting just shy of level 10). I'll make getting the weapons a priority and we'll see how it goes. I like to think we're relatively competent players and we have vent access so we can learn to work together.

I would try a hybrid tank but the exp penalty will have me losing sleep at night. Plus, since we'll be playing together, I'll be constantly losing ground.

I believe proc's at level 1.

Three mages is the only answer. You'll level stupid fast.

I have heard that it adds no threat, which is pretty lackluster to me

Hmmm, that would be good to know. If it generated aggro plus the heal proc, that could be very handy to pickup.

Can someone give me a ballpark on the pricing for some of these weapons so I have an idea? I probably realistically need something in the sub 50 plat range and that would take forgoing any armor upgrades which makes me cringe.

Not the best source, but all I can find.

The Raw Data on Lucy is not very helpful, most spells have 0 as their "hateammont" value, including Enraging Blow...so it is obviously incorrect.

Also... lifetaps generate about the same agro as a DD + a heal, so although they are decent they are not enough to hold agro in a nuking situation...

From this post.

After doing a little looking, it looks like "raw hate" is listed in lucy for "older" effects like Rage of Vallon and Enraging Blow as attribute 92.

Rage of Vallon has attrib2: 92, Base2: 500 (500 hate)
Enraging Blow has attrib1: 92, Base1: 700 (700 hate)

The lifetap effect of the tentacle whip has only one effect, and that's the lifetap (attribute 0, base 4). I think it can be presumed the hate generated is equivalent to that of a DD and a heal.

As a war with 2x obsidian shards i recomend getting dex above 110. It is amazing how many more times they proc with a dex buff bringing my dex from 99 to 109. With out the buff it seems to proc 1 to 2 times a fight and with it i have seen 5 many times.

I don't know of a pre-10 proccing weapon

the whips from the terrors in najena and Unrest proc at lvl 1 and so do the staffs that are usable by int casters and bards.
