-3 Absorb somewhere with a -2/stance shield. It's what I use, I clear the whole thing in around 25 mins if I'm slow. For me, I never pull or anything, I rush straight at the dryders and don't stop killing things until everything in the cave is extinct (except me of course)

Don't the spiders start using [melandrus resilience] when you hex them?
With proper pulling the run takes ~20 minutes.

Yes. Because +4 regen will overcome +50% extra damage (Body Blow crits for 180 or something). I never spend more than 10 seconds on a single spider

wouldnt stalwarts insignia be better than knights for this?

No, since I remember from 3 years ago that a +10 vs piercing shield was less effective than a -2 in stance shield.
When you take big damage, armor is better.. but for the small chunks of dmg the spiders do, absorbtion is better. (-10, -3, -3, -2)

Physical resistance is pointless now, with the Defy Pain buff. Flail = IAS, IAS = FTW. Knight's Insignias + Superior Absorption plus -2 stance shield + Defy Pain = 0 from all Driftwoods and Spiders. You can tank a group of Driftwoods while you have Dryders on your ass, and crippled, and survive very easily so long as you're quick to activate skills. Feel no Pain gives you a counter against degen and it can't be stripped or interrupted. Here's what I was running before I uninstalled:

16 Swordsmanship
13 Strength
3 Healing

[flail][vigorous spirit][feel no pain][defy pain][whirlwind attack][standing slash][sun and moon slash][sprint]

Furious sword is nice but not necessary. Cool to get the attack skills recharged a little faster, though. Energy is a total non-issue. The paltry heal from VS is there solely to top off the last remaining pip of degen from poison, and it lasts a long time and is quick to cast. Thing I love about this build is that once you get into the cave, you no longer have to pull the Dryders. You can run up and start the beatdown. You don't need your enchant right away anyway. Just keep using Flail and attack skills to negate [wastrel's worry], keep Defy Pain up, and the -1 from poison and 0 damage from attacks will be something to laugh at. Once the Dryder is dead, proceed to thwack the Spiders. Easier than ever.

I feel like [vigorous spirit] and [feel no pain] are a slightly overkill for the healing.

I use:

strength 15
sword 14
healing 3

[flail][vigorous spirit][lions comfort][defy pain][power attack][standing slash][sun and moon slash][enraging charge]

i use lions comfort only for the first 3 dryders at the beggining of the cave. i cant have [vigorous spirit] up because the will strip it. so while im taking them down i heal every now and then just to keep my health above 50%.

also [power attack] instead of [whirlwind attack] because you were absolutely right. you NEVER have to worry about mana with the build. so i used a zealous sword and use power attack as something to dump my mana off into. whirlwind just seemed kinda pointless. i would whirlwind and it would recharge all my attack skills which was nice but as far as dmg went i didnt think it dmged everthing all that much. so i decided to tune the build for taking down a single target as fast as possible. which is why my strength is at 15 instead of sword.

i guess what im really trying to say is i feel like the build could be fine tuned a little better. mostly because [vigorous spirit] could outheal the -4 degen by itself. so with feel no pain on top of that i just think its overkill.

what about instead of w/mo doing another sec prof for more dmg?

suggestions?

Build works great, i havn't did a spider run since the original W/Me build, it was way too slow, this build is faster. Best part is i dont even have to pull, just hack them down nice and quick.

superraptors · Feb 13, 2009, 08:36 PM // 20:36

im guessing asura scan not needeD?

swapped asura for fell no pain,

pretty good for profit getting around 2 ob shards atleast each run and 1 ob key atleast around 1-2k merch food around 18-25 minute runs

wut u can expect from ok run:
[starting from gloom seed downwards + 1 ob key]

Erm Guys, no need to be rude or anything but you need to use some common sence..First ywe want to clear the fow Beach as FAST AS POSSIBLE, so why not use a scythe ? W/D, i did a 19 minuite rune everything was dead......even the scales....This was my build:
Flail
Defy pain
Vic Sweep for heal
body blow
power attack
lions comfort
enraging charge and last spot is for what ever you want, this is truly amazing build and i think more people should use i don't think the builds everyone is posting here is getting the best from the warrior, seriously guys just do a test run its so fun, i crit like 180's with body blow, and just for fun i took my monk fried with me and he had bonds like str and hounur etc.. Have fun.

mlandry · Mar 07, 2009, 03:06 AM // 03:06

I really don't know how you guys do 20-25 minute runs, I just did one and it took me 40 minutes T_T. Plus I didn't even get 1 shard =/

*edit : Alright, I guess I just need practice... I did a second one in 30 minutes and got 4 shards + a white dye.

The more practice you get the better and easier it makes the run

Just takes a little bit of getting used to thats all, congrats on the 30 minute run though

Daft Shifty · Mar 07, 2009, 09:57 PM // 21:57

you can swap out asuran scan with ["I Am The Strongest!"] if you are so inclined

Anti404 · Mar 08, 2009, 12:42 PM // 12:42

If I do not have EotN, would willrockformilk's build be the best for me to try?

Raithgason · Mar 08, 2009, 04:30 PM // 16:30

yep it works just as good! defy pain buff is awesome!!!! (hardest thing is still the run! stupid scales!

Anti404 · Mar 09, 2009, 10:05 PM // 22:05

I've basically found Vigorous Spirit to be completely useless. So I'm attempting to replace that with something else, maybe another attack skill or something.

Right now I'm:
15 Strength
13 Swordsmanship
xx ?
Defy Pain/Flail/Lion's Comfort/Whirlwind Attack/Standing Slash/Sun and Moon Slash/?/?

I never have any problems unless Scales are being stupid, and when that happens I generally just die. Lion's Comfort is a fine heal, but it sucks running through the scales and having no way to counter with pulls. I'm also having trouble balling the Spiders so they don't cast Healing Spring, but I honestly feel as if I get more experience(I've done maybe eight runs, with four or five Scale fails) that I'll do much better.

superraptors · Mar 10, 2009, 11:16 AM // 11:16

im not sure if anyone knows this but, if skales aggro into your range, move out of their agro bubble(out of yours) and they will just wnad you and wont cast a thing

The question is, will it work without the monk? I am too lazy to try

RhanoctJocosa · Jan 29, 2010, 11:33 AM // 11:33

So sad how degenerate farming builds are these days when you compare them to 05/06.

Well done ANet!!

can warriors even farm UW anymore?

T1Cybernetic · Jan 29, 2010, 12:44 PM // 12:44

To be honest i have not tried for a few weeks

Been in with my spirit spammer but my warrior these days is on the fence most of the time.

I'll book a couple of days warrior farming and see if it works

(No Promises)

RhanoctJocosa · Jan 29, 2010, 02:46 PM // 14:46

haha cheers, i'd test builds and stuff but my net is capped atm so it's pretty hard to even log onto gw let alone farm stuff. but i don't see how it can be done because even with weakness you still needed dolyak+wy! to take the damage. and i hear there's random skeletons now? i've been away for too long haha.

pve on my war is pretty much all that's keeping me keen on playing this game, pvp is such a joke!

TheRemedy · Jan 29, 2010, 03:09 PM // 15:09

I haven't tried FoW with my War lately, but I've tried UW smite runs since they have added skeles. They deff. make it a much harder run and failure is much higher. You have to try and run past the skeles, i am sure there is a way to kill them though, I just haven't succeeded. I was thinking about adding aura of holy might and Asura scan and switching to scythe to kill the skeles 1v1, which would take 2-3 hits. There has been some talk that people have no problems with the skeles on the smite run though. FoW has pretty much stayed the same I think, I'm sure this beach run would work.
