Wrapped Entropy Serpent Spine is tradable, procs at level 1, and is the strongest aggro weapon in the game (stronger threat than raid drops) with a proc combining 4 poison counters (1200 threat), blind (500ish?) and a debuff (300-450ish?) all rolled into one. At 11/23 the ratio isn’t stellar but a single proc will lock the mob like gorilla glue. Be aware that if not careful the blind can cause problems if you step back and nobody is in melee range - mob will potentially run off.
Infestation if you can manage it is simply amazing. Total aggro is less than WESS but the 9/18 ratio makes it a lot more reliable when procs are stingy. At 3 poison counters (900 threat) it’s very strong aggro - again better for raw threat than any mainhand weapon from NToV. At 60 I use Infestation primary and either WESS or FB offhand.

Infestation + Frostbringer = velious warrior starter kit.
Before you get the infestation the venomous axe of the velium brood is a strong fashion choice (double axe) but be warned its not really an aggro weapon. Don't get 2x obsidian shards, they will never stand up to threat from other late Kunark / velious weapons. They were barely passable early Kunark! There is an argument too offhand one from 16-20ish though. | ||

How does the mid level threat weapons like the Scorpis claw, Skean and Ykesha Scimitar stack up these days? Is it even worth sitting around kith for the scimitar, for example?

Scorpikis has a very high threat proc but a disappointing ratio. When it procs it’s very good. When it doesn’t proc or before it procs, it’s no bueno. But ... if you don’t strike out on proc luck it will hold threat better than much higher ratio proc weapons that people use well into their 50s.
Skean is in a similar boat. For those on a budget I’d recommend buying a frostbringer and relying on melee damage until it starts to proc. 50+ FB paired with offhand 14/28 snare whip should yield solid aggro on a tight budget. Regarding infestation being the ‘starter kit’ ... I’d disagree. If it were not commonplace to dump mallet charges or puppet string charges on engage (a strictly p99 phenomenon), you’d see this weapon used by endgame raid tanks on raids. Infestation, with how poison counters work in this era, is higher primary hand threat than anything you’ll find raiding velious. The VP sword is close, but a little behind. I’m pretty sure WESS is the only weapon clearly stronger.

I meant more starter kit as essential for any beginning velious warrior.
I don't want to diwntalk the infestation. I have just remembered it isn't a tenapenny drop anymore. Starter kit no longer? | ||

What about budget iksar armor choices? Are you just SoL if you're in your 40-50s without 50k banked?

Jarsath scale? True silver? Rygor chain? Trooper scale? Legionnaire scale? Berserker?

Oh snap, I didn't know about half of those, and I thought I actually looked through the wiki and stuff. Thanks!
