Potatus's Warrior Questions

[Swish]

Q1+2

How much dps aggro are you generating with a 10/38 in your offhand on a mob where you don't proc? (not much)

I'd main the Kicsh and OH the Shard...or at least test both and see what seems to be performing better.

Q3

HP regen isn't your problem as a group tank, a cleric would prefer you had the STA/HP for the most effcicient complete heals (which will do more in 10 seconds than your rubi BP will do in an hour)...plus there's the tinfoil/debate around the accuracy of how good AC really is on P99.

If you're really min/maxing then switch to rubi during med time/pauses in pulls.

Q4

Buy one if you can think of a way to beat the average time it would take to farm 1200pp another way.

1. Main hand kisch is pretty terrible white damage, I'd imagine it's good if you get a proc quick, but pretty useless until the proc. I'd play around with it, but decent dps + proc is a lot more consistent than relying solely on procs.

3. Rubi bp is 30 hp per minute. Hard to say what 3-5 AC nets per minute via mitigation, but likely less than 30. 5 sta + 25 hp is 45 hp max, which means you are netting up to an extra 45 hp per CH or other heal that would otherwise cap you out, the frequency of which is definitely less than once a minute. I think it's hands down rubi BP unless you're main tanking a raid boss or something and getting CH'd like crazy.

4) Buying them is faster unless you can easily farm them on another character and get a little lucky. As an alternative, platinum bloodstone earrings will net you more HP for cheaper.

Thank you all for the replies.

White damage or bust; procs are not to be relied upon for aggro.

If I may debate you (thank you both for replying): Sure, swing aggro is more consistent. However, if I went full white-aggro with my 7/21 and 8/23 weapons AND spammed Kick and Disarm, but another character had even better weapons/damage (say, a rogue), I would never have aggro except right after a taunt. The only way I can hold aggro over an equally-or-better-geared rogue or DPS class is with procs (and Evade isn't in the game until Paineel). Being top aggro sometimes is better than never.

Or am I wrong?

And if that's true, then the thing to do as a warrior is maximize proc chance, which means use two proc weapons. Until Yaks, that's Shard+Kicsh.

I look forward to hearing more. Also, paging Naethyn, Raev/Sakuragi, other warriors on the forums (forum-warriors not so much).

^^^^^^^^^^ professional advice from swisharu 11/9 i wanted to basically give same advice last night but didn't want to be accused of posting for attention

Also, i am pretty sure if u have a weapon with a proc rate it doesn't care about offhand, mainhand, whether dw swings or not, just dex, maybe. But we don't really kinow cuz its r99

on blue my choky whip procs crazy good in my offhand, and so does my other cool dagger toys at a pathetic 95 dex
