Lets look at primary weapons and divide their melee hate per swing by their delay:
Feverblade: 11+11 = 22/20 = 1.11
Jade Mace: 9+11 = 20/18 = 1.11
Howling Cutlass: 10+11 = 21/19 = 1.10
Lamentation: 9+11 = 20/19 = 1.05
Epic: 14+11 = 25/24 = 1.05
Sarnak Warhammer: 9+11/20 = 1.00
So from a melee hate perspective the epic is quite mediocre. That is what the post is complaining about. Couple that with the fact that the blue sword doesn't have an aggro proc, and a warrior using the epic for group tanking is going to be way behind a warrior using two proccing VP weapons. Even for raiding aggro was more important without the midnight mallet.
Meanwhile on P1999, we have had a ton of overpowered bosses that needed insane HP (Bee, quadding Hoshkar, etc) and mallet charges to make aggro irrelevant. So the stats on the epic meant more than pure hate/sec. And even here I think the blue epic is still worthless, which is why I'm trying to get a Sword of the Shissar. As a warrior you simply cannot afford to give up 1/3 of your aggro procs. It's just not a good idea.
And finally, I'm guessing that in Kunark they weren't quite up to speed on parsing and realizing just how good a -40ATK debuff should be. As Maurice told me earlier, Verant introduced ATK debuffs in Luclin, and they were so good that they were never upgraded over something like 10 years.
Also Arteker don't worry about your english. Take Lanzellot as your model!

u guys forgot aswell one factor of agro was a solid mele dps, was main reason monks could tank quite well.and by tank i mean having a solid agro.
debuffs where hugue agro wich in this server doesnt work same level as it did live.
u gotta chek how powerfull agro was the tiny ranger spell called flamelick wich combine with a snare was a very very very solid agro , here that spell isnt as good as was live because debuffs such cripple dont generate same agro.
