Poisoned Whip aggro?

[bwe]

How does this weapon's aggro compare to other weapons? It apparently has 5 poison counters which is a lot.

Could be totally wrong, but poison counters don't mean anything in terms of hate - only hp loss, stuns, stat debuffs, and slows count.

The hate on a spell/proc is also front loaded, so that proc looks to be about 66 hate - less than a ykesha proc without the stun.

If that was the case, Infestation wouldn't be a prime aggro weapon for warriors with it's proc "Poison"


1 : Increase Poison Counter by 3
2 : Decrease HP when cast by 12
3 : Decrease Hitpoints by 10 per tick

and this Whip's proc is:

Increase Poison Counter by 5
2 : Decrease HP when cast by 10
3 : Decrease Hitpoints by 8 per tick

I'd think it would do alright

Pretty certain 1counter=100 hate...

[Troxx]

1 poison counters is around 300 hate, not 100.

5 poison counters is pretty epic threat.

How rare is the whip?

Poison counters are amazing which is why troch skean was viable despite low dps

I always thought it was the stun component.

So here's a question. What about the hate generated from disease counters rather than poison counters?

Poison counters are an old RPG carry over. You'd roll dice to remove them. In the game, you cast progressively stronger cure poison spells to remove them or a low one a bunch of times. No idea how they affect hate but I would guess that they're irrelevant as far as agro generation. It's based on damage and secondary effects.

Those are good too, this is why sk spell disease cloud is such great aggro?
