What is the next best thing for war tanks now that taunt no longer works? I'm 52 and currently using a Kunzar and Jade Mace.

Well before patch anything that was working should still work just like it was, only 50+ mobs can't be taunted.
With that said I hear ringed mace of yak, and yak war club for dual wield aggro and rod of morning for 2hb aggro.

They ignore the insults hurled by the warriors. They know who they want to go after.

Would be nice... to bad it's like 50k right now. So is be best bet the kunzar and the yak war club?

I'm using sarnak warhammer in mainhand and silken whip of ensnaring in offhand. I had sarnak warhammer/ ringed ykesha mace combo, but preferred the whip instead. Best combo I've found so far. Stun and snare procs seem to be king for agro here on P99. Bloodpoints are bad and so is most anything with just a regular DD proc or even DoT proc. Go figure.

I was told 2 ringed yaks were best for aggro gen atm.

At the very least try to grab two of the affordable ykesha proccing weapons. Once you have those you can go find yourself a Seb group and try to get a Sarnak Warhammer.
Any sort of stun proc is going to out aggro a dot or simple DD.

Yak proc isn't a simple DD, it also stuns as well - does it not?

It's coveted more so for the stun effect than for the DD. Yes.

So, what would be more ideal - 2 Ringed yaks, or S warhammer+ringed yak?

They have practically the same ratio but since shammer has a lower delay it would make a better main hand weapon. If proc agro is otherwise the same, i'd go with the sham + ringed. Stun has a longer duration then ykesha which would mean fewer hits taken and help your groups overall efficiency out more.

Makes sense - thanks for the info.

Exactly! The more swings, the more aggro. The longer the stun, the less damage tank takes.
It also appears that the hammer procs about twice as much as the Ringed Mace. I may just be one lucky Dwarf but it's certainly a noticeable difference.
Either way, grab some ykesha weapons as they are going to allow you to successfully tank your way towards a Sarnak Warhammer and better warrior loot.

Its sad that warriors have to rely on 1 type of weapon (proc stun/snare) to hold aggro in this game. Now you have every war running around using the same thing.
One of the major flaws of EQ1

Well if aggro was how it truly was they'd all be using Lammys. Pick your poison :).

It will be that way, at some point - in kunark right? I know in Vel, they all use BoC+SoD. Or epic+BoC

I'd rather have the dual yak maces than the sarnak warhammer personally, although it's highly unlikely to obtain them now. Those 75 DDs add up. A double proc is a common occurrence. That's 150 extra damage + stun.
It's too bad about how the aggro works here. Blunt weapons are for clerics and queers. I wanna slash some mofos.
