You can switch to a staff cast aa starter and then equip prides edge again its a bit of a hassle cause you have to redo it everytime you zone (tho the buffs stay up when you zone the effect changes to the item you have equipped in prides edge case the item isnt any of the needed weapons so i wouldnt be surprised that it would do nothing after zoning).
Tested this out with my drac accord blade equip that one cast our aa starter then equip your prides edge and it procs tiger bites (just like with equipping a staff when casting your aa starter and switching back to your godking weap for heal crits).
