You could swap out WY for Dolyak and bring Desperation blow. You won't kill 'em as fast without hundred blades, but it will still be pretty fast.

even though with your build you may be invinsible to them , its the killing speed that couts , lower your defence untill you can no longer die while fighting, them put the rest into offence, try this build

live vicously
vigerous spirit
hundred blades
sever artery
gash
galrath slash
final thrust
sprint

9 healing
9 tactics
rest on sword.

the build i use is all offence , it has 1 105 heal during a entire fight with 3 ettins and i take double dmg through frenzy , but yet it rapes them in under 8 secs per ettin.

I think you did mean 9 in strenght ?

By the way DFNP, I'm using nearly the same built as yours but, It's even better know with my perfect Zealous sword of defense (15^50 - Energy +1/-1 - Armor +5) and also victos bulwark (but not mandatory in my opinion).

my built now is :

sever artery
gash
galrath slash
final thrust
hundred blades
frenzy
live vicously
sprint

Thanks to the sword I allways have energy so, Frenzy is on all the time and I can use undred blades as soon as it is recharged, it's really really fast...

Warriors are too slow at farming Ettins. Just a friendly FYI...There are other builds that can farm 3-4 times faster.

dont feel no pain <----- his build

disposable-hero · Mar 27, 2006, 05:48 PM // 17:48

is it just me or are 90% of the build here over healed.

i've seen mending, breeze and vig spirit all in one skill bar!!!!

personally i run a simple warrior only build

Warrior/*

- Sprint (Strength)
- Sever Artery (Swordsmanship)
- Gash (Swordsmanship)
- Galrath Slash (Swordsmanship)
- Final Thrust (Swordsmanship)
- Flurry (Warrior other)
- "For Great Justice!" (Warrior other)
- Healing Signet (Tactics)

may not be perfect but since i'm not using another class i can pump up strength and swords for max damage.

just run in shout and stance then as the adrenalin build deal the damage.

most ettins drop by the time i've used the four sword skills and standard attacks.

heal up at the end of a mob and move on.

LMAO. Yes, that is SLOW. You can kill one Ettin in 5-8 seconds? Great, there are builds that can kill 10 Ettins in 5-8 seconds all at once.

That build may be quicker than other warrior builds, but that's all it has going for it.

yeah but since this is the warrior forum it's not a compertition of which build is the fastest out of all the classes

I'm well aware of that. If you read my first post you will obviously see I was only pointing out the fact there are other builds which are more efficient. It was mearly an FYI.

I only compared other builds because Prince decided to "prove" his build was godly somehow.

icantthinkofonerightnow · Mar 30, 2006, 04:53 AM // 04:53

Whatever happened to that mass of Ettins behind the portal? Was it ever possible to farm them?

Young Hero · Mar 30, 2006, 05:24 AM // 05:24

^ ya but you need the farmer Dirk quest, Prize Winning Hog.

N19h7m4r3 · Mar 30, 2006, 05:37 AM // 05:37

I use a plain old pure warrior build and its quite fast.
Flurry
Distracting Blow
Deadly Riposte
Riposte
Sprint
Watch Your Self
Dlylok Signet
Healing Signet

You don't even need monk secondary. I kill a group of 3-4 ettins before my health even gets close to the 50% mark and healing sig heals for 130 so its fine.
Ettins go down in about 8-10 second if I forget to disrupt their healing signet other then that they fall like flies.

dunno if it's just me, but I was taken down in 5-8 secs.

this build is really only good for 1v1 I find. in real farming I can't really make it work.

dont feel no pain · Mar 30, 2006, 06:47 AM // 06:47

no it works on 3 ettins for me

sure irristable blow does about 60 dmg but i pretty much never die using the build

(do not use healing sigit during battle)

its a matter of kill or be killed ^_^

So is Ettin farming dead? From the Guild Wars site it has some story on the update page talking about some group from Canthia moved in and squashed the Ettins. Not that I didn't see it coming after the Griffon nerf. Too bad for some people...

Go see for yourself once the game comes back online. The Ettins have not been nerfed, just a quest involving them was removed.

Ettins are still there, this build still works, the runes still drop.

Farming FTW

Thank goodness... I like to run through there every few days to suppliment my income. I'd hate to lose another fun spot. =)

Sagaris · Mar 30, 2006, 07:24 PM // 19:24

I started Ettin-farming today, hurray for me! I've done about 5-6 runs, unfortunately no gold drops yet, but 4 purples. I'm trying the conjure flame build, and I can do the mending-live vicarously build. They both work for me, although i have the feeling that I'm playing with my death when I'm doing the conjure flame build. Though it is faster.
Now all I got to wait for is a superior Vigor/Absorption.

XzyluM · Mar 30, 2006, 07:28 PM // 19:28

Ah, was just wondering. Early this morning the game booted me for the maintenance thing so I checked update and the site mentioned something about a group from Canthia moving into and taking over Nebo. Just thought they had nerfed it. Guess not.
