Exactly, warriors are not a dps class. They are the best class for tanking raid mobs, and if they did as much dps as pure melee, like monks and rogues, then why would people play the other classes? It's not a bad weapon by any means. Tanks are there to hold agro and stay alive long enough for the mob to die. Any dps they do during that time period is a bonus, and should not be the focal point of the class.
The extra damage we get on this and tower weap are CORRUPTION, which is going to be resisted WAY less than any fire, cold, disease, etc damage. This weapon is great DPS for a war (FOR A WAR) and for every complainer out there I'm sure there are a dozen wars that would love to have yours.
I love mine, and I don't plan on upgrading it until Underfoot. If you have that big of a problem with it get a DPS weapon and stop crying.
On a side note CS does not cap out at 500 aggro, we're not even completely sure where it caps out, but best guess I've seen (although it is a conservative guess) is CS aggro = 400 (stun) plus the DD making CS6 625 aggro. Personally I think CS5+ tops EB, but I have no real data to back that up, so it's all about personal preference.
Why don't you read a little before opening your mouth. Check out www.thesteelwarrior.org. You could probably learn a thing or 2.
As a warrior I couldn't care less how much dps I'm doing. My only question is, did I hold agro for the entire fight? Was there an issue with regards to agro? Does this weapon help my AC? Is this weapon fast enough to help with the procs and hate effects? Think about it as a warrior, this as a 1 hander has excellent AC. Decent damage is a bonus, nice stats, not bad speed for the ratio. Since warriors don't solo well to begin with because they are ummmmm... TANKS.... and tanks hold agro and get hit. This weapon is very nice for that job. I don't see under class it having any other class but us agro whores.... there's a reason.
+5 hp regen +4 avoidance 6% more shielding +6 combat effects +20 attack
Ya sorry, I see a huge value in this weapon. I don't know of many weapons that offer these all in one without being messed up by something stupid like mana regen or +500 mana. This weapon is sweet imo.
Crusher of the crimson dawn, broodmother fight previous expansion, none final boss....71/25 +1 fire lifesap3....there are weapons older and better, war weapons don't need to suck.
This weapon is weak.
It is also retarded ugly, but if it sells more of those badass army of light ornamentaions great! (Sarcasm)
It's weak and ugly.
We cant come close to a dps class no matter the weapons cause our war disc consist of about 3 of them with long reuse times, unlike dps class's who get insane weapons, AND dps disc's that refresh in seconds, so yea we can do more dps then we are right now, without hurting anyone else.
Also there is no higher agro augs besides anger3 and enraging blow, no CS anything is as high.
CS tops out around 450-500 agro, those other 2 listed above, they are 600-800. No comparison.
I'm just saying this weapon did not need to suck. The 2 tower war weapons don't suck, I mean the keen edge of discord (67/23) is not that great looking but it doesnt suck, specialy since Raxtki the skitter render is before it and WAY better (77/24 +1)
It has 10 corruption damage on it making it basically a 73dmg weapon if it doesn't get resisted. Chaotic Strike VI is a dd of 225 plus hate gained from the stun. I don't see what you're complaining about regarding the weapon. The best 1hs from Korafax raids, Ache, isn't even 70 damage with resist damage so overall the warrior weapon has better base damage. Also the Ache only has a proc of 175 which again is worse than the warrior weapon. If you compare it to Tower weapons then yes it's not as nice, but even in tower the warrior 1hs is still really nice. Stop complaining.
Yeah but with all the augs you can place in items now it really doesnt matter any more. Proc is alittle weak but then again when your slashing for a couple grand a swing think 175 dd proc is gunna make or break a fight
aggro is calculated based on the potential damage of the weapon, that is why war only weapons get elemental damage on them so they can keep our aggro up without giving us unbalanced dps. we are not a dps class, if you wanted to be dps mele you shoulda been a rogue or zerker
and lmao, CS is useless? again POTENTIAL of the spell, so even though that stun gets resisted you still get the aggro from it, CS 6 is more aggro than your EB aug
