Most aggro proc weapon ratios are substantially inferior to a good 2H, especially in light of Velious 2H damage bonus buffs. Taking that into consideration along with the shovel’s long root time and it’s a no brainer to use it. I’ve tested many 1H weapon combos and I’ve consistently found herbalist’s spade to be superior - the hate is smoother in the absence of procs and the root effect generates plenty of aggro even when it’s dispelled by DD. The dispel issue is less of a problem than you imply in my experience in countless XP groups in the 49 - 60 range.
For raiding? Sure, the spade kinda sucks. But for typical XP camps, it works very well with most group compositions that rely heavily on melee damage, which coincidentally happens to be most groups. | ||

Just use the low level root when the mob hits camp. Helps with quick slows. Gives time for a warrior proc or two. Takes an ounce of coordination.
Or just slow and heal people (again, the game isn’t hard). If the rogue is getting smoked it’s on them. Learn to get good on blue cons before a raid mob dirt naps you in the first 10 seconds. | ||
