Fair enough Sam, the belt discussion is a little off topic, but haste is an obvious tangent to weapon discussion, one that I think may even have been you or the op bought up to begin with?
Lorian has been the only one in thread to suggest the +str belt, everyone else seems to have shot down that idea with arguments based on logic, reason and experience, which should be enough for Deckk to make his decisions. | ||

Thick banded belt adds greater damage output than a haste belt if you already have better haste in some other slot, such as if you're using a Mithril 2H sword (or Rogues with their epic, etc). Other than that it's also a nice item for Clerics who don't want to be encumbered all the time.
I don't know that Warriors should focus overmuch on their aggro generation at low levels. Warriors suck for experience group tanking. Anything you try to do at low levels for aggro generation won't work very well, and if groups want a tank who'll hold aggro, they'll invite a hybrid. A lot of casters (particularly those who don't want to die) will end up habitually rooting everything whenever they have a Warrior tank, at which point aggro generation becomes moot. Running around wielding a couple crummy weapons like Obsidian Shards means you won't hold aggro anyway over epic rogues and twinked Monks, and you'll do crap for damage too. That doesn't seem a great plan to me; might as well try to deal what damage you can. Heck, even high-level Warriors using staple weapons like Sarnak Warhammer and Silken Whip, with haste, have a horrid time with aggro in XP groups. It's a weakness of the class. Just grin and bear it knowing that you'll do fine on raid bosses when using mallet charges. Discussion of haste belts, as noted by others, isn't an immediate concern for a player for whom a few hundred platinum is expensive. That being said, haste is the single most important stat for both damage and hate generation, so any Warrior definitely wants it eventually. Danth | ||

Ya, dont even worry about agro as a warrior in xp groups you'll drive yourself crazy.
If rogues and monks dont want to get hit they'll evade or fd, casters can root. Honestly don't even worry about it....just relax, hit taunt when you don't have agro and have fun. And ya go for the best ratio weapons you have unless you have 200+ dex like mentioned above, every one knows warriors lack agro abilities so if someone's complaining they are obviously new. | ||

To those who suggested Skean http://wiki.project1999.com/Renux_Herkanor this is the mob it drops from, but zone says North Qeynos, not Steamfont.

She goes on an adventure to steamfont. It's part of the fluff behind the epic quest if you are into that stuff. I know most people don't care and just bypass/MQ most of it. | |||
