When tanking, every mob should be turned away from the group. It is good practise to get in to, and is needed in a lot of higher end content.
As tanks level up, this is one of the many skills that is not bothered with, as there is no need for it at present. Most of the mobs that were cinsidered to need this at earlier level caps are now simply being left alone by groups until they get a few more levels, thus it remains not needed.
When these tanks hit the level cap, and this is suddenly a requirement of tanks, it is a skill they have not had the opportunity (reason) to learn while leveling up.
Hopefully, these weapons may change that for new players starting the game and rolling tanks.
Woot ... training future raiders through tradeskills! I love it.
There's a sort of beautiful irony to it ... yessss ...
To answer a few more questions: gleaming strike now procs off ANY attack, this does include ranged and magic attacks, but would only include taunts if they have a damage component. I am not modifying ranged weapons (bows, satchels, etc) at this time, although that doesn't necessarily preclude the possibility of looking at them in the future, but this current change is primarily focused on weaponsmiths' products. The damage ratings on these weapons as well as the procs have been improved, which should be more significant overall than the stat changes. The ritual dagger was actually far over what should have been the limit for just one stat and has been brought in line accordingly, though folks who really want to stockpile the old style are welcome to do so and hereby have plenty of advanced warning.
I've made a few more changes based on the feedback so far and edited the posted tables accordingly. I'm now going to try avoid making any more small tweaks while I get the other level weapons and recipes generated, unless it's something really serious; otherwise I'll just spend all week making minor tweaks and the actual weapons will never get made!
