This. Faster is better. More DPS and better threat than relying on procs.

NEVER LUCLIN

Actually for the wurmslayer I take that back. It is damage capped until 20 so not even a twink weap. It is only useful during level 20-40 if you REALLY want to DW but still shit because you'll be miles ahead with a 2hander due to low DW skill. It was only good when you could put it in offhand. I can't believe people still ask 1.5k for it.

The Wurmslayer was good in kunark. Its benefit over 2h is a very narrow level window and assumes the Reaver isn’t like 6k and the Herbalist Spade isn’t out yet. Also assuming Seb dirks aren’t like 1k and Guard Captain mallets are half that.

Sure, if your 2h option is a Stave of Battle the Wurm is appealing for a while. Do keep in mind your offhand isn’t doing much from 30-40. At 60 it only swings 75-80% as much as the Mainhand (if the same delay).

At what level? Aggro doesn’t matter until mobs can one or two shot dps.

At HK goblins I expect fast weapons are best. Around 40 though those two 10/18’s aren’t keeping up with dps from a 40/40 or even a Herbalist Spade.

If the OP is going to group with their spouse on a shaman outside the 1-30 dredge of low weapon caps, 2h > everything. My warrior has two blood points in his bag and still hasn’t maxed piecing.

Yes they are. I used SBoZ and Seb Croaking Dirk on warrior, duoed with a shaman. Shaman would pull with slow, and I was able to rip aggro immediately.

Grouped in City of Mist with rogues, and I was still able to keep aggro with just auto attack, the occasional taunt required to snap aggro back to me.

Things are slightly different at level 52 now - Reaver is starting to out DPS the 18 delay weps, but only by like 5 DPS per fight. The Reaver pulls more aggro on misses than the low delay weps, but both setups work well for aggro.

In every exp group (so far) I haven't had a problem with aggro - not saying it's not gonna change, but the 18 delay weps dual wielding totally works for aggro in my experience up to level 52 in velks.

This is why its good to have a mage with earth pet in your party, although they recently nerfed mage pets so they arent casting their spells as often... and of course it has to be a mage that is on the ball and sending their pet in every time. Alot of mages I have grouped with lately barely engage at all and wont even cast damage shields.... Although that could be due to being depressed about their class being nerfed so hard lately...

From what I understand it gets harder when you're grouped with double backstab ragebringer rogues, which are a dime a dozen. I noticed a lot of monks are twinked to the gills too, not sure if that causes problems for tanks.

It shouldn't: if you're grouped with competent players that Feign Death and Evade.

Rogues should evade every cooldown, regardless of aggro. Monks should Feign Death when they get aggro.

BUUUUT when you're talking about "twinked to the gills" monks, I doubt they are competent monk players. My 2 copper, but most twinked monk alts should have rolled a rogue and got it powerlevelled - because they really just like to watch white damage, and really suck overall at being a monk.

I'm never surprised, but always disappointed in how many level 60 with BiS items for their alt toons don't know how to shake off aggro on their twink monks and alt rogues.
