Should I buy Wurmslayer?

[Wibo49]

Yeah I'm buying it tomorrow (Saturday). Might as well give it a swing. I just made enough to get it, so hopefully someone will have one to sell. Thanks everyone for the input. If I don't like it then, well, at least it incentivized me to make 4k plat.

what if you quest it? also staff of battle suggestion is better because only need 1 good weapon with 2hander, get better dps as well with bonus dmg from 2hander based on delay! They don't show on weapons til later in velious but the effect is still there.... +4 damage or so for something that delay in a 2hander, wurmslayer gets nothing extra for being slow.

Keep in mind till the 30s the off hand is negligible when compared to the primary. Until 150 Double attack you cant even double attack with the off hand. So with a high ratio 2h like staff of battle getting primary hand rate of double attack you will experience more aggro until the point when you can equip dual Ykesha at 37 anyways.

You are playing on blue do your weapons even matter other then procs? Obsidian shard then yaks imo

I bet obsidian shards were great when every melee in the group wasn't twinked. In the p99 world, the shards don't do enough dps to gain threat. You won't proc on every mob, and you will detract from solid group xp flow trying to play high end warrior with shitty classic daggers while everyone around you has kunark weapons.

Recently I levelled another warrior up to play with some friends stuck in their 30s. During the 20s I found the only weapons that had potential to hold aggro against an epic rogue was dual obsidian shards... BUT it wasn't reliable, even with ~150 dex, as fight duration was so short often they wouldn't proc.

Most groups I'd end up using DPS weapons and the harder hitting mobs would be rooted so I could toe tank them.

like the dude above, just go with high dps weapons. unless you are with a shaman or dexed the fuck out, the procs wont be reliable and even then they wont hold agro vs some twinks. your best bet is to have rogues use evade, monks use fd, and everyone else calm the fuck down. rooting also works.

remember in classic a tank would get a mob down to 90% or so before anyone else would engage? lul classic. here everyone jumps on the mob before it even enters the "camp."

ADHD + too much weed + mad mudflation makes for a huge glut of melees who hit their 50's with few clues how to play against content that can't be facerolled.
