war weapon by aggro

[Jimjam]

On live you could bypass the rest of the quest once you had the scabbard. As you say, sword of runes.

You could even have duplicates during LDoN era; an augmentable and unaugmentable version of each sword. GMs deleted my spares when they caught me with two reds. Told me it was a bug.

While a scruffy weapon these days (except the ringed mace) Ykesha still proves a great aggro proc due to the brief interupt. I used a Ykeshan War Club with a Frostbringer around 40 and was very impressed. Later swapped for a Sarnak Warhammer since stun is a more functional proc.

Aggro weapons aren’t what they once were. There are still great aggro weapons. There are also cheap but good ones that will suffice. Many warriors are still using the wrong weapons and dps is jumping in too early. These are all facts.

If you plan on never doing war epic or VP, whats the best combo?

Trident + ???

(edit: vulak loot doesnt count)

yea probably trident and willsapper

id rather use trident +shissar tho, get a vp key

I really like cracked claw of zlandicar + infestation (trident, but thats a really hard to get wep).

Incapacitate is a really good debuff that is usually skipped whereas every slow weapon usually don't hold. Also piercing has 10 less skill.

Also, 2 blood points with a haste that is better than your group's and a fungi is great 50-60.

Frostreaver is the clear bargain choice IMO. It's 2 hate per second less than the epic and has slightly inferior stats, but it also puts out +5 dps, probably goes for pretty low DKP, and doesn't have obnoxious key/level requirements. Troxx (Bedavir) was very happy with his.

My sperglord calculator values the consistency of 2H and the additional damage, and it considers Palladius, Gaudralek, Frostreaver, and the Jagged Blade to be all more or less equivalent and mildly superior to all of the various 1H combinations that don't include the SoD or 'real' Blade of Carnage.

WAY more people should be using 2h, than are, for hate/threat and/or dps

My 52 warrior loves his frostreaver but I can’t wait to get a trident, 10% slows into raid mobs that are otherwise unslowable is nothing to scoff at.
