Obsidian shards will not push a warrior ahead of pal or sk in dps or aggro.

I thought we, here on P99, didn't get the weapon delay of the pet toys?

2x Obsidian Shard was the goto since they proc at such a low level and are common enough. Crookstinger + PGT work as well. Gnoll Lariats kick in at 25, but their damage is ass. Fast weapon damage bonus isn't much either.
Yak are good because they also have a great ratio. Kicsh Der Pavz is a good option pre-Ykesha. Dex is super important since white threat is trash with shit weapons and damage bonuses aren't really a thing until the 30s. The reality of the matter is there are two good ways to keep the mob focused on the warrior. 1) Keep the mob rooted and have the warrior stand on top of it. Problem is good is a good chunk of aggro and if it breaks, mob might run toward whatever caster. 2) Group with a mage or necro pet that can hold aggro. If the pet is top of the threat chart and the warrior is the highest threat person in melee range: the warrior will tank.

Ghoulbane is more dps not counting its proc even. For SK's Dark Reaver is an equivalently easy weapon to get and it outperforms both.
At the high end a warrior with two Yaks will outperform a knight with a Mithril 2h due to procs, assuming similar haste values. As the majority of people will not have the high end weapons while leveling up the order of best tanks should be SK > Pal > War | ||

My inclination is that 19/41 w/ chaotic feedback proc would out damage two 6/25 without much of a damage bonus. With that said, anyone considering melee to be "good dps" in classic is out of their mind.

Again, the only real power of the shitty melee classes in Classic is being a meatbag for Dragon/God fights, and Warriors are the best at doing that. So they are the best melee class. For those poor souls who choose not to roll a caster as their first character on a new Classic server, Paladins with Ghoulbane have a small moment to "shine" since the dead side of L-Guk is the #1 place to be, but they're hardly spectacular. And really, when considering the huge exp penalty, a Warrior is going to be 3 or 4 levels higher than a Paladin in the same amount of played time, and that matters a lot for DPS.

On another note, early on we had a druid that basically monopolized the PKT spawned. Would be a good reason to make a druid.
