W/D Thousand Tank build

http://gw.gamewikis.org/wiki/Build:W/D_Thousand_Tank

Is this build good at all? Can it be used to farm anything, or solo a lot of things?

You can't solo with no offence.

Isn't a tank like really good offence? And wouldn't this be good?

Warrior for armor, and Dervish for strength.

A tank is really good defence. The build has great defence, but its offence is very weak. One attack skill and low wep mastery is barely strong.

Hmmm, anyway to modify this so it has good offence and defense?

Actually that build kinda blows.

There shouldn't even be a Tanking Warrior.

Then whats a good W/D build?

W/D builds aren't terribly common. Steady Stance with scythe is really the only one I've seen with any frequency.

theres no reason to have 1000 hp, it will just slow down how fast you die.

You'd be surprised how easy that Survivor (3) title is when you have over 1200 Health.

Slow down how fast I die? I'll take it.

Tanking is dead, it only clings onto life still because of Domain of Anguish.

Well with [skill]endure pain[/skill] I get over 780 hp. Factor that in with [skill]"Watch Yourself!"[/skill] and you've got the ability to stay alive.

I use that only when the monk is covered and is having trouble keeping up to buy her/him some time. Then I use [skill]dragon slash[/skill][skill]galrath slash[/skill][skill]sun and moon slash[/skill][skill]"For Great Justice!"[/skill]

Though after capturing triple chop I'm considering going axes for a while, but I have to admit dragon slash really pumps out some damage.

A warrior's job is to kill things. I don't PuG anymore, but I would instantly kick/reject any warrior who advertises "tank," especially one who claims 1,000+ HP, as armor>hit points in PvE.

tanking is ONLY useful any more for DoA. when's the last time you saw a "tank" in pvp? lol. tanking is pointless because warriors have the potential to outdamage any other class in most situations. and with simple aggro control the mob will be stuck on just the warrior so the monks can easily heal them. hell put vig spirit on the tank and let him heal himself.
