pls tell me your build and post your sword + shield ^^

I used Warrior/Mesmer with skills

sprint
sever artery
gash
garlath slash
final thrust
victory is mine/or healing signet but vim is faster
watch yourself
physical resistance (mesmer stance)

with

12 swordsmanship (+1+3)
12 tactics(+1)
rest in strength (possibly inspiration magic)

If you have all 4 your attack skills adrenaline charged, you'll take an ettin down in 4 strikes, no kidding.

I use crimson carapace collector's stance shield and max dmg sword +15% when health above 50% with +7AL vs physical and sundering mods.

I liked your build although i modified it slightly:
11 AXE
11 STR (10 + 1)
10 HEAL

I used my Razorstone and Tanzit Defender.

1)Cyclone Axe
2)Eviscerate
3)Executinor's Strike
4)PeneTration Blow
5)Heal Area (for emergencies) Replaced your "Dolyak Signet"
6)Vigous Spirit
7)Live Vicariously
8)Sprint

I toyed with sword using my IDS that has a "Enchantments last 20% Longer" Pommel and Victos Blade combo with 11 sword instead of 11 axe.

1. hundered blades
2. galrath slash
3. gash
4. server artery (also her ei tried final thrust.
5)Heal Area (for emergencies)
6)Vigous Spirit
7)Live Vicariously
8)Sprint

After messing with this I went back to using an axe. took less time and I didnt die once. I ended up getting 4 sup runes one in which was a sup vigor.

Hope this helps

thanks, i went farming for 2 hours and got a second sup vigor rune. I use only that axe build. no deaths and takes only about 20 seconds per ettin. one guy didnt beleive me so i took him on a run, had him die in the beginning, and watch. 2 purples fell with his name on them, i sat and waited while they became mine then grabbed them, lol. twas no big deal, he wasnt aggro about it, just happy that i showed him how its done.

maybe 20 seconds for the odd ettin that keeps healing at the wrong time :P\

Penetrating Blow - DPS for odd ettin that's left alive
Cyclone Axe - Chips away health, gives health and adrenline
Disrupting Chop - Use when they heal
Sprint - Run run run!
Healing Breeze - Emergancy Heal, can use something else if you want
Vigorous Spirit - Primary Heal
Live Vigorusly (sp) - Primary Heal
Balazthalar's Spirit - Energy

Axe - High as possible, I use 14
Rest Strength, Healing Prayer

Just agro a bunch, cast Vigourous, and start cycloning. If there's 3 or more pounding on you, you should have infinate energy and adrenline as long as you cyclone. When the one you are attacking heals, disurpt it. Switch target. Your cyclones will finish it off. Ettin farming is really easy actually, I just can't get any good runes =.=...

Oh, I use a mixture of Victo's Axe and a max 15^50 vamp 3:1 armor +5 axe plus Thorgall's Shield.

I would say sword is more powerful against Ettins, I do 3 ettins under 20sec with my sword build.

PS! It may be harder against more then 3.
