This is the first build I've posted here on GWGuru, so please be honest if you comment this build. Open for all negetive/positive critic.

I've never seen someone using this build excpet me, so I'll show it here.
I call it Spinning Warrior, and I invented it a few days after GW Faction released.

Farming Where: Fissure of Woe (Beach + Itzy Bitzy Spider Cave)

Farm These: Snarling Driftwoods, Armored Spider Cave (avoid Ancient Scales)

Profession: Warrior/Mesmer

Skills:

Cyclone Axe
Executioner's Strike
Triple Chop [Elite]
"I Will Survive"
Healing Signet
Dolyak Signet
Physical Resistance
Sprint

Attributes:

7 Inspiration Magic
12 Strenght (Helmet + Sup. Strenght Rune)
11 Axe Mastery (10 + 1)
11 Tactics (10 + 1)

Weapons:

Shield: The best shield for this is the famous Crimson Carapace Shield (+45/ receive dmg -2 while in a Stance)

Weapon Set 1: A Zealous(1/-1) Axe(+15% Stance) of Shelter(+7 vs physical Damage) + Crimson Shield

Weapon Set 2: A Non-
Zealous Axe + Shield (Just for regen between the fights)

Weapon Set 3: Any kind of Longbow (for luring)

How to do the farm:

Pretty much like all Beach farming build with W/Me. Start running to the first part of the beach where you face a group of 3 Snarling Driftwoods, just kill those using Triple Chop and Cyclone Axe. Avoid Ancient Scales, they doen't event drop Obsidian Shards and they make massive health degen. Just run past this and continue fighting the Snarlings while avoiding the Scales. Use Healing Signet when needed. There's a total of 15 Snarling Driftwoods (not sure)
and alot of Spiders in the cave up ahead. But Armored Cave Spiders have a special defense, Healing Spring, and that's where this build really rocks. Healign Spring is a Trap, which is easly interupted, and while spamming Triple Chop and Cyclone, they pretty much have no chance of making it succed. Lure Spiders away from the rest of the spider using your Longbow. I've used this build Alot of times and it's so much better then the Eviscerate accourding to me.

Enjoy the build, haven't maked a film while using the build, would take to much time to download.

ADDED: A Zealous Axe is a must for this build to work.

i would replace dolyak with watch yourself, and take out strength, and pump axe up to 16, so that you will do more damage increasing your spider killing speed, but all else, looks alright, theres been a few low quality videos on this build actualy, but im not too sure where to find them, take out inspiration if yo have to, to get axe up to 16, 11 axe aint so great when you could do so much more damage with less defense and still stay cool

Is "I will survive" really worth it? Short duration, long recharge... Also, with triple chop and cyclone axe, I am assuming you ball up the spiders? How does your 3 attack skills compare to Cleave/whirling axe [E], penetrating chop, penetrating blow?

I've never soloed FoW on my warrior but want to try when we have favor so any tips and tricks are welcomed.
