strange SK weapon question!

[baalzy]

Wurmslayer gives AC & lets you still hold a shield & has a decent damage ratio (about the same as a MoSS).

There is only 1 1hander a SK can use with more AC and it has a AOE proc on it and is a weaker ratio.

Weapons this that and the other...

Disease cloud at the start of the fight, disease cloud at 50% mob health (or 66% and 33% if you've got lots of rogues stabbing behind the mob), and it works a charm... don't even need a large mana pool to maintain constant pulls.

As a first line fix for adds with no CC in the group, use "Wave of Enfeeblement" (AOE) - its crappy aggro but it gets the mobs off the puller, just try to get them DC'd before your healer heals you (tricky sometimes :P).

why at start and 50? why not 2 at the start? I don't know, but I just assumed, that agro (for DC and stun etc at least) is just a numeric value, and not based on anyone else's agro

one more question, now that kunark is out is it worth while to use a 2 hander to tank as a SK or should I always go sword and board while tanking? green jade halberd looks like it has a pretty awesome ratio along with a few stats, 50 HP , and isnt all that pricey, thoughts?

AC > HPs > STA are the "get hit" stats, with priority in that order.

Since you are an SK, you do not need to worry about proc weapons/dex like a warrior does. Your aggro comes from spells.

Wurmslayer has the 3rd highest 1HS ratio in the game, tied for 2nd highest AC out of any weapon (@ 5AC), and is easy/cheap to obtain. It also will allow you to still wield a shield for additional stats (AC, HPs, STA). Its a damned good knight weapon.

Right on. [see http://www.project1999.org/forums/sh...ad.php?t=41162]

So damned slow I can't stand it, maybe its a personal thing (maybe its not as bad here since you don't have to chase down fleeing mobs so much). Yeah but use one until you get something better. Good quality/price ratio if there is such a thing.

speed is irrelevent. The 'feel of a weapon? Are you kidding.

DPS is what matters, if you get that dps from a 100 delay weapon or a 10 delay weapon is irrelevent aside from hitting on the very first swing. Any lack in dps is more aggro you need to hold with spells.

Get a noct blade or moss and just spam disease cloud for aggro. SK's don't have aggro issues usually.

[Nirgon]

Your 1handers should be a Mace of Shadow Soul (these become over abundant towards mid-end of kunark), Nocti Blade, and if you're lucky Shard of Night (better ratio than epic... proc is another story.. small races of course..).

Disease cloud is your ace in the hole. Bash is really nice to have also, try to get an MoSS (or the pricier ones listed if you can) as any race really grouping.

MoSS is actually what I wanted, but I have never seen one for sale, or really even heard of one going up for sale.
