war weapon by aggro

[jijii]

WAY more people should be using 2h, than are, for hate/threat and/or dps

My 52 warrior loves his frostreaver but I can’t wait to get a trident, 10% slows into raid mobs that are otherwise unslowable is nothing to scoff at.

I have lots of 2handers but they def don't hold agro compared to epic/trident. Mostly just toys when not main tanking or fun in groups when you go zerker.

I tried using vymm 2handr for vindi once and it just ping ponged till I swapped back to agro weps. Maybe frostreaver is good but dark elf can't use it, got one on my pally though [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

Only mob I use a 2h on is the vs in KC. But I tanked him a lot with 1 handers too and had no issue long as evasive was running.

Is an amazing combo I use when grouping. 150 LT + 150 rune is hard to beat.

Got a Frostreaver, am not disappointed.

Highly recommended for anyone able to get Dain. By far the best bang-for-your-buck dkp 2 hander.

What about as more of an up and coming Warrior (on a budget) what are the best aggro weapons? Maybe it doesn’t matter until 50+ as I’ve heard I’ll struggle regardless.

My warrior is approaching 40 and I have Venomous axe mainhand and frostbringer offhand for my aggro set up (will switch once 40). Is this approach totally off base? I use staff of battle for DPS fwiw.

Are their tiers of aggro weaps to aim for? I will have access to kael/hate/fear/DN level raiding mobs but definitely not VP.

The 400 per proc threshold is very difficult to overcome. For that reason it’s easy to gear for a budget. Sure the epic warriors will hold aggro better but don’t fret. Frostbringer MH is the best thing you can do at the moment. Dump the Ven Axe as it doesn’t even meet the hate max. I went with a Ykeshan War Club (procs like 35?) and then a Sarnak Warhammer. The Traciloc’s Skean is another throw-away reward for anyone doing a rogue epic.

Not sure about the snare whip or tash stick meeting the 400 hate cap but they are nice pieces to have in your “kit”.

Keep leveling. Don’t fall into the “I can’t tank without ____” bs. Just don’t use the objectively wrong weapons in the same price bracket. You will never snap aggro like a knight so don’t worry about that. Get your hps/ac up and go for the dps/disc tank roles. That’s where a pally or SK can’t match you.

Trochillic’s Skean doesn’t proc til 45 or 46 iirc. It’s pretty good for those mid 40s and early 50s levels before you start fighting too much stun immune stuff.

Scimitar of Ykesha might be worth a look in; spam /who all kithicor and if you see some high levels ask if they are doing rogue epic/dark elves and whether you can come ‘help out’ in exchange for the soy.

For budget weps frostbringer and snare whip are just fine and decent dps /nod
