Curse

My main character is a Warrior, but I have finished all PvE content on both normal- and hard-mode. I've been away from the game for a long time, and I'm wondering what's fun to play as Warrior these days?
I've been looking for a party for some elite areas, but it's all the same cookie-cutter and SC crap, what's the normal Warrior build for these areas anyway? Are there any decent farms left for Warrior characters, or have they all been nerfed?

Farms aren't fun, people do FoWsc with 100b warriors, but that's also "cookie-cutter crap". So I don't really know what you're looking for...

Farms can be fun for a couple of hours, or just to kill some time.
Sad to see elite areas being downgraded to SC areas.=/

Two words: Echo Mending. And then just frolic in the storm of awesomeness.

Seriously though, you might consider also exploring some other professions too.

Well what I run is Earth Shaker in normal PVE, so no boring SC;s

works well and love the fact to see enemies lay on ground 24/7

Tbh the two only decent farms on a war is raptor + FOWSC and warrior is only really used as a tank or AoE damage if u bring a MoP + splinter wep person along warriors deffinately arnt as good as they used to be.

If you want to have a bit of fun on the warrior on your own, try taking yourself and 6 heroes into the elite areas. Have a buddy or random guy load in there with you with the bars you want(make sure they ping the hero's health, energy ect), then zone out, you get 3 heroes you can controll and 3 upgraded "henchmen". I used to go through the FoW and doa like this before warriors were in demand for such areas, and i managed to get through some of the UW content(keep failing at the horsmen and/or dryder spam part). You just want to make sure the 3 "hencheroes" have bars they can handle without microing. Mesmer, nuker with wards, roj nuker or healers seem to work well.

Beyond that, once you master the pve content, try your hand at the pvp.

If you dont run speed clears, or solo farms you are completely wrong. Hundred blades is pretty good regardless as to whether you have MoP. With it it just gets better. W/D with a scythe is ridiculous damage. Earthshaker as someone mentioned is also very strong. D-Slash w/ SY for party protection if your team doesnt have an imba. Physicals, in terms of normal teams rather then speed clears are still very strong. As long as skills such as barbs/mop, orders, strength of honor, great dwarf weapon, etc still exist you can pump a physicals damage to ridiculous levels. Asuran Scan also says Hi!. Probably highest damaging position in the game is the frontline with the right buffs. Everything else just serves to increase that damage, or keep them alive to a greater or lesser extent.

go to gates of kryta and farm for orr emblems?
show the monks how a real man farms -
recommend live vicariously, vig spirit, heal breeze, bonetti and some triple axe/cyclone/whirlwind
works for nolani as well (charr carvings)

Like someone said, FOWSC + raptor farm are good sources to spend time with wars.

But if you really want to unlock true madness, buff yourself up to the brim using skills from your heroes or friends (Strength of honor + Judge's insight (vs undead) + Ebon B. Standard of Honor + Great Dwarf Weapon (if you play with friend) + 100b, etc) and completely destory foes (regardless of level in HM) with absolute ease. Just something you might wanna try for fun.

The thing you want to avoid most is running a shitty tank bar, unless ofc you play with pugs who got brains the size of small peas. Wars must not tank, wars must kill! Now THATS fun!
