A warrior cant solo shiro,sorry.

Best bet if you're really wanting to try would be a warriors endurance/dagger bar with wild blow-no clue how you're going to stay alive,though.

All you need is permanent 75% block. Easier to do on an assassin but warriors should still be able to handle it. Here's several possible ways:

Gladiator's Defense
Dwarven Stability

Dwarven Stability
Soldier's Defense
Can't Touch This!

Dwarven Stability
Shield Stance
Disciplined Stance

Possibly throw mental block in there.

Att split will be a pain with warrior's endurance but it's doable. You could dragonslash but that will suck when you wild blow, if you have enough blocking wild blow isn't 100% needed. Swapping for wild throw is also possible. Finally defy pain might even be an option, considering shiro's going to send alot of packets your way. Mhenlo can take care of healing you, just focus on preventing damage so he can manage.

If you intend to rush people through your never gonna get a full party. So just grab spoil victor necro, ss necro and maybe smite monk or something for Strength of Honor/ RoJ for his meditation of reaper or something.

As long as you grab like wildblow and glad's defense stuff you should easily be fine. Dunno if smiter monk would be better as like empathy mesmer (btw your gonna want some form of energy management for necromancers especially curses since he'll probably want to have ss+ insidious parasite spam)

You can, quite a few off the wall ways of doing it, I saw one person stood out of range for his meditation, he couldn't get masters, but he beat it.

If you mean factions Shiro, everyone can solo it.. with henches. Fill up your party with hench, take both Monks, both Necros, both Eles, maybe a hero N with Spoil Victor and watch them do it on Master. In HM.

warriors cant really solo him, but if u want a bit of a laugh, get 8 warriors to stand in a ball and use storm of swords at the same time. 25*8=200 damage per second. PER warrior.
so 1.6k damage to shiro each second.

As a warrior, I've found the quickest way of dealing with shiro is going W/me. Grab some melee heroes/henchies and two monks. Let everyone get around him. If you bring an assassin make sure the assassin uses his skill first so there are plenty of people around shiro.

Echo -> storm of swords -> storm of swords. Add in arcane echo if you need another SoS.

8x Storm of Swords -THAT's hilarious. Pretty as a rock in a cop's face.

It is more than possible to solo the factions Shiro on a warrior. I've seen it done personally.

It is 100x easier and better to run with only 3 heroes. If you run with hench he will replace hench with enemies. If you can just get a tanking build and get the heroes to run spoil victor, spiteful spirit, insidious parasite, empathy etc. it'll go by smoother.

Heroes can't use celestials, so in turn the only thing better than a hench on shiro is one SV/Ss

I still prefer not having to fight extra enemies to losing a few celestial skills. He seems to drop faster for me that way.

I wonder if bringing 6 heroes (having a friend load in then drop out) would still cause shiro to banish the heroes or me cause of the extra heroes.

Even if he replaces them with enemies, he doesn't do it as often as with real players, and the outcome still is Masters!
Will try only heroes tho, just for the sake of it.
