Warrior weapons and aggro in a group - what do you use?

A couple of other non-obvious key items that I think LAST a while and are comparatively affordable....

Glimmering Mithril Torque, Antlered Mask, Crystal Chitin Armplates, Barbed Dragonscale Boots, Bracer of Scavenging, Mithril Plated Girdle (awesome pairing with the SCHW for a non IKS WAR), Heavy / Reinforced Dragonleg Breeches, and Cloak of Maelstrom

I will definitely look into these, thanks. (Barb War here)

When should a warrior be looking to change weapons. I currently have a 20 war with Sword of Skyfire and A Jade Mace. The skyfire won't proc till 45 but it's AoE.

Should I be looking for proccing weapons nearer my lvl sooner or will these 2 serve me well till I'm mid 40's? What weapons should I be looking at as I lvl higher?

Grab a Staff of Battle. That will carry you until 40+ easy.

I actually have one already but never use it. Seems like it makes more sense to just run 1handers. Would it be better suited for groups than the 2 1 handers I already have?

Staff of Battle is another great weapon to acquire in the meantime. that is would essentially be your DPS or damage shield weapon.

Just plan on having a Frostbringer or Wrapped Entropy Serpent Spine by 50 - frankly, even a Sarnak Warhammer and Silken Whip of Ensnaring would probably do the trick 50+ for the proc aggro.

While I've invested / grinded for Frostbringer and WESS by 40 (sold a lot of ears and scalps LOL), I don't feel they're mandatory for me to get a group. That being said, having a WESS and Frostbringer makes aggro a cinch, even in groups with twinks / characters substantially wealthier than myself.

Ok this makes more sense. I have mainly been using it to lvl up 2h blunts, while I have another axe for 2h slash. I don't recall what axes I already have but I have 2. Will remember to use this one more when I have a DS or something.
