Perhaps “white-damage aggro“ would be better called “swing aggro” or “swing hate”?

Hi Potatus! When you say weapon damage, do you actually mean the weapon ratio? Just trying to figure all this out. Taking out all other factors, a better ratio = more hate? Regardless of weapon damage or delay numbers? Also what do you mean by "plus damage bonus"? How much hate does the damage bonus contribute? And at my level, being the damage bonus is so low (1 or 2, right?) Would it be better to have the faster weapon in main hand or the higher ratio, for hate generation purposes, again taking all other things out of the equation such as procs.
