Just acquired a Wurmy looking for a good cheapish offhand that will generate threat. Lvl 20 atm.

I am not a big fan of a Wurmmy unless you have a pretty good Haste item. But there are a few Warrior only cheap weapons that will work in the off hand. Most drop in CoM. Green Jade Broadsword, Viik's Dark Defender come to mind for cheap items. The faster the better, but that cost money.

Off hand damage is few and far in between. And having it Proc if it can, good luck with that happening. [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

This is an interesting question; I always struggle on my warriors to settle for a decent off-hander.

jagged long sword IMO. Offhand already has a 50% reduced chance to proc, so I wouldn't bother using a terrible ratio procing weapon sub 50 (silken whip would be great after 50).

Note, although the above is true, the off hand is able to proc even on rounds where dual wield fails to produce a swing. This means at low skill a proc weapon is arguably best in the offhand.

I have never played a warrior, but I am trying to understand. Why are you using such a slow weapon in the mainhand? Why not like x2 Lammy's?

I read somewhere that aggro is all about ratio. Wurmy has a 25/40 ratio or .62ish lammy is 9/19 or.47 ratio. And Wurmy gives me big numbers and I like flashy numbers.Procs are a threat generator as well but at 20 seems unreliable.

Pretty much this. Wurmy has the best ratio in the game for a 1 hander and the huge hits generates good aggro. If you want to rely on procs get a troc skeen for offhand or a pair of those skorp claw impalers. 1 poison proc will pretty much hold agro through anything. But the consistency of straight damage, agro, and at the rate most exp groups can tear through things.. I don't think waiting for a proc is necessary.

I could be wrong though, this is just personal experience. No parses or anything. Wurmy hits really hard and is fairly quick even with just a fbss.
