Infestation and FB is good enough to tank high end raids.

+1 to this

Warriors need to focus first and foremost on haste and weapons if they are shy on funds. Ratio first the man 2 good aggro proc weapons. I promise all else will follow with time if you keep playing.

For most classes small upgrades are meaningless but for warriors it’s a long hard road and every little upgrade means a lot.

But … at the low end weapon ratio and haste is god.
Medium to low high end it’s weapon ratio + dex and proc weapons and haste.
High end you have the procs and the haste so pump up the hp/ac/resists.

https://wiki.project1999.com/Trochilic%27s_Skean

Trochilic's Skean is a decent rotquest item for warriors.

While levelling in the Faydark area (so crushbone, mistmoore, etc) keep an eye on /who all 46 60 steamfont.

If you see a couple of high levels, especially if one is a druid you might be in luck!

Renux Herkanor is a reasonably often killed epic fight for rogues, and Trochilic's Skean drops every time. Send a tell to the high levels asking whether they are doing the Renux fight and whether you could come loot the weapon. It has a reasonable ratio for levels 13-45 and an excellent aggro proc 46+.

Similarly, if you see a bunch of high levels in Kithicor Forest ask them whether anyone has claimed https://wiki.project1999.com/Scimitar_of_the_Ykesha . This item isn't quite as good, but drops reasonably frequently there too (also for what is ostensibly a rogue epic fight). These weapons will get you by until you can get a Frostbringer and / or Infestation.

Skean had a fantastic aggro proc despite poor ratio. It was a good choice until the change as the 1 poison counter (somewhere around 300 hate per counter) and spinstun aggro component stacked.

Now unfortunately it’s a flat 405 threat from effects plus DD.

Sadly, it like so many other weapons (VPs, infestation, WESS etc) are shadows of their former selves. Infestation used to be ~900 from poison counters alone … no longer. WESS was even more insane with ~1200 from poison counters + debuff + blind. Now it’s a flat 400.

These days you just look for any weapon that gets you to that 400 threat and then filter by weapon ratio to find your best option.

also while grouping root is a thing

haste > ratio > procs > hp/ac

I also think for warrior leveling, DPS is the best aggro. I’d prefer my 20-45 tank had a staff of battle rather than some low damage proc weapon. 45+ then you can get some aggro wepa

Staff of battle all day every day (leveling up). I still bust mine out on occasions at 59. Though my 1 handers are better dps and aggro at this point.
