    On the p99 eq website there are extensive sections on all class types. The tank section has detailed amazingly detailed info on the first 2 or 3 expansions. [ of course p99 has initiated patches, changes that have taken it away from what eq was.]

    It also lists agro weapons that never seem to of been noticed/acknowledged in live eq. a couple of the weapons are a no drop 9 18 with a poison counter dot from vilefang in dn, called infestation, and a 7 18 poison counter dot weapon from old castle in velketors called poisoned whip. It rates the agro from these 2 dots as higher then the warrior epic for ex and all but the best agro raid weapons from those expansions. Of course the weapons have low dps, stats etc in comparison to raid drops, what im wondering is, is this info true? known? can u comment on it?

    I guess I should mention that im now playing on cornaiv and were just half way thru velious. So, boc is used bye few warriors and other high end agro weapons are in demand.

    Yep, those are for sure higher agro than epic swords

    Anyone recommending weapons with dot procs should not be trusted. While they may be higher agro, the difference would be minimal and offset by the added risk of uncontrolled dots.

    The Threat on Dot weapons on P99 is insane because they have the old mechanics where each 'poison counter' has its own threat, so a 9 poison counter has way more threat than a 1 poison counter debuff.

    This is not the same as Live EQ or TLP.

    Your best resource for Daybreak Threat is probably: http://everquest.allakhazam.com/wiki/EQ:Items_Aggro_Procs

    Don't underestimate the value of weapon damage contributing to threat.
