No such thing as "aggro" when playing as a warrior - EQ devs didn't realize that holding aggro was an important part of tanking until... Luclin I believe, which is when warriors got the Provoke skill.

During the Dragons of Norrath expansion, it came to light that shield bash stun was meant to produce similar aggro to spell stun, but the feature had been broke since release. The devs had just assumed for years that the players were munchkins prioritising looking cool dual wielding over the ‘more effective’ sword and board. Ofc they didn’t fix the underlying broken mechanic as ‘the meta had settled’, and instead added some new furious bash shields and shield block aas.
Luckily for warriors, they have decent melee skill caps so can produce fair swing aggro, which lets them get by coupled with root.
