Perplexed about next (and last) donor item. Advice?

[conradd]

my SK has donor weapon/shield

I think Ares is the shield that Rude was talking about

It is the shield I have And I am pretty much 100% defensively minded. DPS is a concern, but it's only in the back of my mind. I have a guild who can DPS for me I just want to smack things and live. That involves me taking and holding aggro, while mitigating/out-lifetapping as much damage as possible while the lemmings do their work to kill the target I am indeed having trouble holding aggro, spamming my single target hate, my t8 AE hate, and the other AE hate spell, along with clicking legs.

I like the aug idea because of the powerful lifetap (should crit for about 6k+ with my foci and AAs ) and the extra anger generation. Not to mention it's a lot more affordable The bane damage and whatever extra DPS it will supply is just a very minor positive from my viewpoint.

I'm sure my hate generation will multiply itself as I start evolving these HoH items/etc. But every little bit helps. Nothing more embarrassing than losing aggro when I'm working fairly hard to try and keep it.

Just an update and a thank you for pointing me in the right direction. The extra lifetap from that weapon aug on my donor, plus the stats have made my lil SK a lot more reliable! I highly recommend it for anyone else who's cash strapped like myself And I'm certain that bane damage will come in handy very soon. I'm sure the BP woulda made me a much beefier tank, but the aug was still worth every penny, and I'm starting to evolve my T8 BP as we speak so maybe it wont be a huge loss . Aggro generation is only slightly better, but I blame that on my half-laziness in that regard at times

Thanks again for the advice, never woulda crossed my mind.
