For now it has a middling potency aggro proc and a sub 0.5 ratio (11/23?).

It ranks fairly lowish on the threat list now.

Edit: if you are looking to optimize a high white threat approach but still have good proc potential I would recommend looking into Frostreaver. 42/43 2hander with a 125dd + stun proc. I used it for a long time and still do when the mood strikes. Compared to WS + Red I find it VERY competitive.

-WS/red will perform stronger when you have average to above average luck with procs.
-FR performs better when procs are less lucky.

As both setups perform perfectly well with average or above proc luck, you could make the case FR is actually ideal as it works better in the unlucky moments? It does do quite a bit more dps to boot and a whole hell of a lot fewer ripostes.

I don’t believe you’re correct about the WESS. As far as I can tell, it’s an 800 Aggro proc. As far as I can tell it’s 400 for the -ATK and 400 for the blind making it a pretty potent proc.
