The Ultimate Warrior Guide
--- Section 1 A. Disclaimer B. Introduction C. Why be a Warrior? --- Section 2 A. What you need for this guide B. The Creation of the Character C. Weapons, Shields and Armour --- Section 3 A. Index of Builds B. The Builds --- Section 1.A Disclaimer This Guide was created on the 09/04/2007, 9th April 2007 by the members of the TDC guild. This guide cannot be replicated, sold or posted without the authors consent. Guild Wars guru has full access to this guide, and if you would like full access to this guide just PM me in game. This guide cannot be traded for real money or in game money. The builds in this guide are not entirely mine, and the appropriate links to the guide itself will be posted, and the modifications noted. --- Section 1.B Introduction Hello, and welcome to my ultimate warrior guide. In this section I am going to be posting all the current warrior builds I use, and others, with links to the original thread if it was not created by me or modified. I have been playing Guild Wars for about 2 years now, and am currently in a guild which I run with some friends who I met in game and from other gaming scenes. The guild is called TDC and more information if you want it will be sent to you via PM. --- Section 1.C Why be a Warrior? People need warriors! Period. Whether it is for a mission or quest, or participating in GvG, you will find that warriors are needed on most occasions. As the character has the highest armour level and has good + armour skills they can be used to tank the mobs without much help. They can block the mobs getting to the back lines of the fight such as the spell casters, who need time to cast their skills and help fight. They can also be used as a damage dealer, or just a survivor. The warrior’s ability to fight with their increased strength than that of other professions makes the warrior an ideal front line fighter. Their main strength is in their use of melee weapons, such as the hammer, axe and sword. They have numerous skills for any type of occasion. “Warriors rely on stout hearts, brute strength and melee weapons to subdue their enemies and protect their allies. They generally disdain long range warfare, preferring instead to charge directly into the fray, swinging their weapon of choice. They can take a beating unlike anyone else. Warriors are equally comfortable wielding axe, hammer or sword, though many choose to master just one of the weapons over the others. Many warrior skills require adrenaline, which builds up during combat to enable those skills, and usually results in major damage. Defensive tactics help the warrior to avoid damage and protect allies, but strength is the warrior’s biggest asset, allowing this hero to do more damage with every attack.” Quoted from the Guild Wars Prophecies manuscript, Book II, The Challenge --- Section 2.A What you need for this guide 1. The Campaigns, Prophecies, Factions and Nightfall 2. All the secondary professions unlocked. 3. A large amount of skill points. 4. To have beaten all of the Campaigns. 5. Have all the needed skills. (Section They are the basic, and really only things you need to start farming at the places which will be mentioned later on. Section 2.B The Creation of the Character The character can be created in any campaign but I prefer factions as it is faster to level the characters, but this is entirely your decision. --- Section 2.C Weapons, Shields and Armour Weapons A 15^50 20/20 +30 Hp Axe A 15^50 20/20 +30 Hp Sword A 15^50 20/20 +30 Hp Hammer A 15^50 1/1 Energy Stealing + 30 Hp Axe Shields A +45 -2 While Stance Shield A +45 -2 While Enchanted Shield A +30 -5 20% Shield Armour Max Armour Full Gladiators Max Armour Full Knights All Max Armour Helmets for each attribute with a Superior rune of that Attribute --- Section 3.A Index of Builds Ettin Farming Build Troll Farming Build Totem Axe Farming Sliver Vermin Dead Sword Solo *More to Come* --- Section 3.B Ettin Farming Build Profession: Warrior Secondary: Monk Attributes Healing Prayers: 9 Smiting Prayers: 3 Axe Mastery: 13 (10+3) Strength: 10 (9+1) Tactics: 10 (8+1+1) Skills Eviscerate {E}, Axe twist, Executioner's Strike, Disrupting Chop, Sprint, Healing Breeze, Live Vicariously, Balthazar's Spirit Armor: Gladiator's with knight's boots. Shield: Strength Required 9 -2 Enchanted +45 Enchanted Summary: Start at Beetletun and run past the mergoyles and tengus. Do not put any enchantments on yourself yet. When you get past both the groups of tengus put your enchantments up, taking 3 Ettins at a time for the best results. *Note* The drops from the Ettins has decreased but still get rune drops from them. --- Troll Farming Build Profession: Warrior Secondary: Monk Attributes Healing Prayers: 8 Axe Mastery: 16 (12+3+1) Strength: 9 Tactics: 9 Skills Cyclone Axe, Triple Chop {E}, Executioners Strike, Bonettis Defence, Live Vicorously, Vigorous Spirit, Dolyak Signet, Sprint Armor: Gladiator's with knight's boots. Shield: Strength Required 9 -2 Enchanted +45 Enchanted Summary: Start at Droknars and run left towards the troll caves, Use sprint to get past the avicara, and put the enchantments up before you get into the cave and aggro them. Then just spam Vigorous Spirit and Triple Chop and Cyclone axe for the Healing. Use Bonettis when low on energy. --- Totem Axe Farmer http://www.guildwarsguru.com/forum/s...07&postcount=9 W/Mo Totem axe Farmer This is a build I came up with in 5 minutes to farm the totem axes in The Falls. This build can take on the Behemoths, Life pods, Jungle Skales, and the Wind riders. Skill Bar: Cleave{E} Healing Sig Penetrating Blow Executioners Strike Sprint Shields up Endure Pain Mending Attributes: Healing Prayers 5 Strength 9+1 Axe Mastery 12+1 Tactics 9+1 NOTE: This build means that you should already have the extra attributes quests done. Weapons: I suggest an axe with a +15% while enchanted mod on it. Shield shuld have while enchanted mods and another should have While in stance mods for running. This Is Not My Build. I Have Just Posted It Here With The Original Link, And Copied It Into This Guide. --- Sliver Vermin Profession: Warrior Secondary: Elementalist Attributes Earth Magic 12 Strength 8 + 1 + 3 Tactics 10 + 1 Swordsmanship 2 Skills Glyph of Renewal {E}, Sliver Armor, Dolyak Signet, Healing Signet, I Will Survive, Bonetti’s Defense, Riposte, Deadly Riposte Armor: Knight’s Armor for the damage reduction. Weapon: Any sword will do, but Rajazan's Fervor is preferred for the “of enchanting” upgrade and the extra energy Shield: Any maxed shield will do, particularly those with absorption upgrades Additional: Use runes of superior vigor, absorption and some attunement runes on your armor Summary: Aggro 2-3 groups of vermin at a time. Then use the skills in the following order. Dolyak Signet, Glyph of Renewal Silver Armor Healing Signet 2-3 times, Repeat. Use Bonetti’s defense to manage the energy levels. I will survive for the health degeneration if it becomes too much to handle, and riposte and deadly riposte to kill the last vermin. --- Dead Sword Solo Profession: Warrior Secondary: Monk Attributes Axe Mastery 12 + 2 (or more) Strength 10 + 1 Healing Prayers 8 Smiting Prayers 2 Skills Flail, Cyclone Axe, Triple Chop, Bonetti’s Defense, Dolyak Signet, Vigorous Spirit, Live Vicariously, Balthazar’s Spirit Armor: Gladiators for the extra energy, Or knight for the damage reduction. Weapon: An axe is required for this build. I use Victo's Battle Axe for added damage, but any max axe with 15^50 will do, just might take longer Shield: Have a max shield with +45/-2 while enchanted and requires strength, I use Arrahhsh’s Aegis for this. Summary: First get to The Shattered Ravines from Bone Palace. Let the king die in order to repeat the quest. Cast Balthazar's Spirit on yourself and let the energy recharge to full before casting Live Vicariously. Once the king is dead, wait until the slave spirits settle, and then get close to aggro and cast Vigorous Spirit BEFORE aggro. Be sure to charge for the monks slave spirits first as they are the ones that can shoot you from a distance. Get within the mob so that your cyclone axe will be able to hit everything. Once positioned, hit Dolyak Signet to reduce melee damage. Start cycloning using both Cyclone Axe followed by Triple Chop. After the first cyclone axe, you should be able to use flail to increase attacking speed. Alternate Cyclone Axe and Triple Chop (by continuously spamming whichever becomes available first) and use executioner's strike whenever it becomes charged. With live vicariously and vigorous spirit up, you should be able to stay alive while causing massive AOE damage to all surrounding targets. Make sure flail stays up at all times to increase attack speed and to increase the rate you benefit from live vicariously and vigorous spirit. You will get interrupted by Savage Slash frequently when trying to cast vigorous spirit, but just keep trying and eventually they won't be able to interrupt. Use the same method for all 5 mobs. When finished, rezone and repeat. --- http://www.guildwarsguru.com/forum/s....php?t=3006532 Warrior/Necromancer Grenth/Sorrows Furnace plus a lot more. This can be a difficult and frustrating build. http://img211.imageshack.us/my.php?image=map6rs.jpg Green dots=Common Boss Spawn locations Red Line= Easiest way down Attributes: http://img158.imageshack.us/img158/9034/att1bk.jpg 10+1(Minor) Strenght 10+3(Superior)Swordsman 11+1(Minor)Tactics Skills: Healing Signet Dolyak Signet Grenths Balance{Elite} Bonetties Defense Riposte Deadly Riposte Final Thrust or Galrath Interupt, Savage or Distracting Blow If you don't like sword swing this way Healing Signet Dolyak Signet Grenths Balance{Elite} Bonetties Defense Riposte Deadly Riposte Disrupting Chop Executioners Strike (If you don't get it simply switch to sword and activate the Ripostes) Armor: I recommend Glads Armor with Ascalon/knights mix I use Glads Chest, Leggings, Gloves, Ascalon Helm, Dragon Boots.

Ettin farming build is very old, and somewhat slow with the build you listed. Troll farming build is decent, but is now ridiculously slow. Melee monsters will run away when they get to around 50%, leaving only 3 attacking you at once. |

I farm with my warrior all the time... i go with half glads/ hald dreadnaughts. also i have inperfect weapons. but i still farm fine. you should note that thoes weapon and armour sets are the premium things, and that they're not really nessicary to getting it done, and sup perfect weapons will still get the job done, albeir a little slower at the least. this is stil a work in progress, but good job anyways.

This guide is fine, but I'd consider changing the prefixes for the weapons. It has been proven that there are mods superior to Sundering...

Ettins and Trolls are unprofitable and boring; Totem Axe is way faster with a Burning Arrow Ranger. And people don't need warriors (but that's just my opinion). |

Overall, good guide. A lot of people are making comments that this stuff can be found elsewhere but gathering it all together and updating it definitely doesn't hurt.
Marverick, saying that a particular farming area or section works better with a different profession is not really a good focus. First off, not everyone has every campaign, and I'm guessing that most people don't have a level 20 of every profession. Otherwise I'd say only solo UW with ele's b/c its about twice as fast as every other build. That would be silly of me, however, because I know that not everyone has a lvl 20 ele and even less have sandstorm unlocked. The guide was intended for warriors and to show that a warrior CAN farm the area for a totem axe. (This really isn't intended to sound rude if it did) |

The point of farming is maximizing your profit.
But alright, even for warriors there are faster ways... use a Superior Axe Rune at least, swap Penetrating Blow with Dismember to get Deep Wound, and swap Mending for Enraging Charge as another running stance and to get a boost of adrenaline from the start. And use a Fiery Axe Haft to own the little pod things. |

I think this is an awsome idea, if it is maintained......as guild wiki is no longer going to have a builds section, gwg is going to be my goto site for builds. Its nice to see that they are going to be organized here now.
