Warrior donator weapon proc

[Tyler]

Thanks for the feedback!

So you are pleased with the way the weapon works now? Im asking since Jeido feels like there is already enough aggro on this weapon which i kind of agree. It has a 50% proc mod on the static proc FYI so maybe we change Dominating Anger to be the static proc and change the click proc to something else?

Just need to consider that you can put 2 Agro augs on this weapon, that means you had 4 agro procs on 1 weapon. I'd rather stick with the Swarm pets and make them magic immune for example, so they don't die to every AE (since they only have 1 HP).

Im leaving this open for discussion between the Warriors.

I dislike the idea of swarm pets, warriors aren't dps and we don't bring it to the raid, I kind've feel like it'd be like giving clerics or bards a swarm proc, it just doesn't fit with the class. If you feel the proc is too much, then what about something to help us with the defensive side of tanking, and not the offensive side ( aggro ).

Being that it's a weapon, it just made sense to make the click an effect which increased aggro.

Click could also be a melee disc, like Stonewall, Riposte etc. Just tossing out ideas.

[Harney]

I like the idea of something defensive, the aggro on the weapon is good, was just brainstorming ideas to replace the swarm pets. A stonewall/defensive click would be useful for sure.

[Jeido]

How about a mini defensive? Keep the effect as a proc, and give it a chance to give a short (1 tick) 15% decreased melee/spell damage buff? There are already a few actual "defensive" clickies out there, so this would keep it unique.

[Tyler]

Not sure how that would work. I can make it that the proc has a recourse but that would fire everytime the weapon procs.

Giving a chance is technically not easy to combine with something else. Giving a chance is -> the weapon procs or not.

[Jeido]

Well technically you have a "chance" to proc every time you hit with your weapon It's likely that the proc would be on most of the time while fighting, even with a 0 proc rate mod, but the point is that it wouldn't be there to save you from most initial bursts. Is the problem that you think 15% mit would be too powerful? Maybe 10%ish would be more suitable?

I still like my other suggestion, where the buff doesn't give you a proc but instead a max HP increase and AC increase instead. That helps with our tanking in a not-so-overpowering way, and it's nice for bragging rights too! I was just giving an alternative to this, something that's not really used yet.

I've been holding back on discussion regarding donator weapons, as I think they are too powerful as it is. But, I won't de-rail the thread with that argument. Instead, I think Aura of Runes Discipline would be better than swarm pets, but not nearly as powerful as having a defensive-like discipline. Even if the discipline was augmented to have a higher proc rate AND higher absorb amount, it would be a fair replacement, in my opinion.
