Same here, ok I must add that I do a lot of different missions inbetween, helping guildies here and there, So I'm not going in and out of FoW time and time again. I would do a couple of runs then the guild chat will be too anoying, so I would go help out some of the lower lvl guys (lol one of the pains being a leader i guess) but I also enjoy helping them out then after I helped them do a mission or 2 I would go back to FoW again.
Last night i had 3 bad runs, (bad spawns, bad drops, lol just plain and simple crappy )

Then the next 3 runs i got 6 shards, 4 shards & 5 shards

So yea I still think if you have to draw up an average that you will still be around 3 shards a run.

This also seemed to have worked for me. I did some capping in Hells and also completed the mission, after that i ran GNW and after that i did abadons mouth with necro. I came back to spiders and got 3 shards + key + rare req 8 chaos axe (which sucked )

Also my mesmer who overfarmed the shiro'ken lately seemed to get normal drops from every enemy...

Avatars can be set in your profile, and as far as I know you must post more to get a new title.

One of the fastest warrior farms I know is the minotaurs in the black curtain.

they are just next to the exit to kessex peak, and it takes 3 minutes to run there from TOA. you gather them all up, use phys res and cyclone axe, and kill them all. nice amount of gold, horns which can be salvaged for hide, lots of equipable, some dyes, and even a rare once in a while. after you picked it all up, just step in the portal to kessex peak and back, and gather them again...

(dont pick on the boss and dont die, cause you'll respawn in a shrine far north).

since my computer wont load the bigger texts i'll continue here

#5 Generous was Tsungrai
Spell. Sacrifice 10% Health. Hold Tsungrai's ashes for up to 48 seconds and gain +116
maximum Health. When you drop his ashes, you gain 232 Health.


#6 Healing Signet
Signet. You gain 107 Health. You have -40 armor while using this skill.

#7 Sprint
Stance. For 9 seconds, you move 25% faster.

#8 Free Slot
options: Frenzy, "Shields Up!", Flurry, Spirit Light

This build is easier then the W/Mo(no shatter, guild/shame problems)
but a little slower I think.
one of the great thinks of this build that it makes
A) the run easier(Resilient weapon+Generous was Tsungrai) because you get more HP, a +5

regen 2 counter life transfer a little and a small armor boost

in the beginning of the cave you need 2 lure out the groups(i couldnt tank all with

frenzy+shields up on, maybe with shields up alone)
you dont have 2 worry about the degen, because of resilent weapon.
I used healing signet ones, because Generous was Tsungrai heals more and has low cost

I"m working on a way 2 ditch the tactics part and swap 2 strenght(tiger stance, berserker,

battle rage etc.)

pls tell me what you think

Sorry about the 3 posts, the only way i could post it =(

First ok all, Resilient Weapon is sweet!


second, I'm troubled by the fact I dont have a stance to give me -2 damage reduction.
the skills that comes to mind are the only 3 non-elite warrior stances that could be maintaind: frenzy, flurry, and rush.

with resilient weapon taking 10 energy every 16 seconds, it leaves you with (16*2/3)-10 = 0.666666667 = no energy at all (and that's for every 16 seconds).

zealous mod costs 1 energy every 3 seconds, and under frenzy or flurry gives 4.5 energy every 4 seconds. this ends in an extra (4.5 / 5) - (1 / 3) = 0.566 energy per second, which is not enough to maintain flurry, but can be enough to maintain frenzy.

with frenzy, it might be best to use watch yourself! too.

I would rather keep my sword as it is and use rush, which might allow me to drop watchyourself. healing sig could really be replaced with Generous was Tsungrai if you are not tight on energy.

anyway, my next run would be with
Sprint
Generous was Tsungrai
Rush
Resilient Weapon
and the four slashed: dragon, standing, silverwing, galrath.

this will also allow me to drop tactics and pump up strength. might also get my old vamp sword out of storage.

(note that I'm using a vs piercing shield. might take a bit more damage without it. might even consider keeping watch yourself).

Anyway, way to go Mathijn. a cool new twist to the build, might not be faster, but could sure help lots of starters to catch it up with an easier build to work out :]

here it is:

Knights armor beside a +1 swordsmanship help.
furious 15^50 sword of shelter.
strength based shield of +9 vs piercings -2 in stance.
silverwing/galrath/standing/dragon slash.
Resilient weapon. (16 seconds)
Rush. (17 seconds)
Generous was Tsungrai.
sprint.

strength = 8+3 = 11.
swordsmanship = 11 + 1 + 3 = 15.
restoration = 11. (the breakpoint for +5 health regen).
(superior runes were put on just before the entrance to the cave).

The way was easy. driftwood apply enough cripling to heal by resilient, and rush helps with the damage reduction. with resilient, life siphon actualy heals, and with transpher added, the degen is just 5. before running into the skales I cast generous and resilient, and after breaking, droped it.

with resilient and rush spiders deal 2-3 damage, so at the entrance the 1 health regeneration is not enough. resilient takes all energy regen, so I was left with 10 spare energy after casting it. after casing generous twice, and killing most of the spiders, I had to run back an regen (both health and energy). from there on it was a breeze. a pack of dryder and 6 spiders is no trouble at all, and the shadow beasts on the other side can be just hit to death, with 5 health regen which almost outheal spiteful spirit.

for someone without a shield or less confidence, I would recomment adding watch yourself and healing sig, and removing rush.

check out the sell forum for a strength based shield with +vs piercing and -2 damage reduction in stance. it should cost something between 30 and 70, depending on the skin and numbers. another thing to do to let the big rare shields traders know you are after one. that's how I got most of my shields.

shouldn't have the dryder problems, if you know how to correctly pull them, unless you are taking on the whole inside of the cave via, agroing dryders + spiders inside
