I'm wondering which is the Best Combination of Daul Wield Weapons that I have for not drawing agro?

How do you figure out what the Attack is? I can't find the formula.

How do you figure out the ratio's for Comparative and Offhand Efficiency? I can't find the formula.

Hey ease off he's a ranger. Nuff said.

At this point there's a lot of possibilities:

1) He bought plat
2) He has a non melee main
3) He hasn't been paying attention.
4) He bought/inherited his character.

I give him the benefit of the doubt and go with #2, but otoh I grouped with a 58 warrior a month ago that didn't know how to join a group, so any deficiency of knowledge is possible.... =)

just cause ur main is non melee shouldnt mean you dont know about agro. casters need to know about agro at least as much as melee do cause most casters can out agro most melee in most situations if they want to, obviously doing this is bad as agroed caster = dead caster (depending on what ur killing of course)

Ok then, The Gomdurig is a rogue weapon, lose it. The copper hammer of striking is a warrior weapon, lose it. Sword of the bloodsworn is also a warrior weapon, bin it. Keep whatever weapon that ha the best ratio, then go buy yourself a Defenders lightblade, or something else with a high delay, look at my secondary weapon, it is nice too. If that doesn't work you should have a 2 hander as well, I use a War Marshall's bladed staff, very nice weapon, cool graphic too.

Thank you all for your help.

I have a 65 enchanter selling Kei and a 63 warrior. And I have a 1 lvl character camped in the bizaar selling my wares. Which I handed down the 2 warrior weapons down from. I bought the Gomdurig.

I sell my tracking for 100pp for every two quests completed for them.

Why would I post my sharacter's now when everyone is saying bad things about this character.

So you all can say oh he bought all his stuff.

NO THANKS.

Ok, well that it explains it then. 63 Warrior, thats why you have the warrior weapons. And yes, Enchanters with KEI are one of the games best money makers. Sorry, for any doubt. Cobra it is funny that newbies are willing to pay 100pp for tracking, when they could probably buy nicer armour than their newbie stuff in the bazaar for 100pp. I will have to try that, I have never tried to market my tracking.

Well Kaeerin you have me totally confused.

Your two original questions were "how do I draw aggro?" and "how do I not draw aggro?" with a list of weapons.

(Weapons by the way that are a terrible choice for a 42 Ranger).

Then you say that you play a 65 Enchanter and a 63 Warrior.

A 65 Enchanter would normally be just about the most knowlegable person in the game when it comes to understanding aggro. And a 63 Warrior, given all of the trouble they have had to battle through in the past year, would be equally expert in the matter, at least with regard to "drawing aggro".

It appears very inconsistant, makes me think you are trying to pull our legs in some way.

But in case you are serious, put all those weapons away for some time in the future and go and get yourself a Wurmslayer and a Sarnak Parrying Blade.

If you must dual wield, this is the combo to use at 42.


When you want to draw aggro, you simply cast Flame Lick and snare, but I'm sure you would have known this.

PS... the relative efficiency figure is calculated for a level 65 character. You could draw some very erroneous conclusions by trying to apply this to a level 42 character. It would be more illuminating to use simple "real" ratio or modal numbers to compare likely DPS.
