Classic mechanic discussion: fast weapon/white damage aggro

[cs616]

A bunch of people giving anecdotal evidence is still anecdotal evidence, just a lot of it. I'm sure a lot of people are complaining, but if you've played on p99 blue you'll also know that a lot of people think they know a lot more about playing this game than they actually do.

As for why a warrior would keep a primal in offhand, unless they didn't have a better procing weapon there really is no reason to keep in primal after it procs. Maybe if they're not tanking as well to avoid pulling aggro, but as a main tank is simply doesn't make sense to tank with a primal. Again though, just because you saw someone you thought was good at this game doing something on live, doesn't mean that was actually correct. As I said before, I was in a top end guild and back then I was straight awful at this game. The skill and knowledge level on live is no where near what it is on p99, even at the highest levels of play.

I'll give you that much. But still, I'd like to see someone with a moss covered twig and efreeti standard (pre nerf) give dual RMOYs a run for their money here.

The reality is that Lamentation drops frequently, had stats that were overvalued, a graphic people really liked, and the average pickup group required you to generate far less hate than you need to here.

Also, on live, stamina (the yellow bar, not the character stat) actually mattered and Lamentation is very light.

As long as we're going off memory lane from when we were 15 - I deff remember the weight of the item coming into consideration.

I pray for the day when weapon weight actually matters, like it did on live, and the stamina-regeneration spell lines are worth scribing.

THROW PEOPLE AT IT UNTIL IT WORKS

The exact mathematics of aggro are well known. They give the effect you want: fast weapons generate substantially more melee aggro.

Yep.
