Default Anti-tank builds

So, given the proliferation of W/Mo's, i was wondering what everyone's counter build to that would be. If youre expecting to get in on some 4x4 action and you have a feeling that youre going to be up against several w/mos, what would be the most advantegeous class and skill combos to go in with?

so i guess that no one has an anti W/Mo build? Is this the uber class that everyone denies that this game has?

Either that or everyone wants to keep it a secret from the foolish W/Mo out there that think they can take anything down. I know for a fact that I have my Mesmer setup to destroy and annoy the hell out of warriors. It's one or the other and warriors and their general ****iness tends to tic me off more than casters so many of my skills are setup to disable warriors.

Ward against Melee and hex's always work wonders on tank builds. Nail em with slow effects as well and rain lightning into em is another good move since the majority of warriors don't wear elemental armour. There are many options.

Best anti-tank strategy ever... *drumroll*
Ignore them, attack someone important.

Course, in the arena that's not gonna work since the whole enemy team will be tanks, but Arena is ridiculously imbalanced. Should you want to kill a tank though, remove enchantments, drain energy, nuke them. Air Magic E/Me with Lightning nukes, energy steals and Drain/Inspired Enchantment.

The ultimate anti-tank Necro / warriors, the necor spells ignore armor and the bleeding deep wounds of Warrior drops base Hp. I do know, from experance they are the ultimate anti tank.

Some good ideas. A couple of you mention energy stealing. Is this a good route to take against these guys? I imagine they could still deal some damage with adrenal-based skills and stay healed with a signet.

I am a W/Me and have been killed very few times (in which I could have prevented) without being ganged in ToPK. People say that casters>warrior but I have to disagree with that, I havent had a caster kill me many times without ganging (although there are a few times where I dont get my skills off before they cast), the times that I get killed most are from more than 1 warrior on me.

I'm a Me/W and I tear any Warrior to shreds with Shatter Enchantment, Energy drain, and the combo of Illusionary weapon/Flurry. Like butter.
