Do you mean solo?
When I FoW with my warrior I use stances so as not to stress the healers. That way you can stand in the middle of aggro and just take hits.
I use Dolyak Signet, Watch Yourself, Shield Stance, Defensive Stance, Healing Signet, Endure Pain, Mend Ailment(or Remove Hex), and a rez. You can keep the first three on, and then once shield runs out go to defensive, always swapping around to make sure you have +armor. I really only use endure pain as an "extra" heal because the dip in health can be scary sometimes...
Hope that helped!

I don't use superior runes because of the -75 health, although I do have +30 mods on both my shield and sword, and a superior absorption on my armor with a minor vigor. Added health = great
I know the downside to this is you do crap damage, but the other party members should do the killing just fine while you hold all the aggro.

If you take Gladiator's Defense{E}, try w/e with Shock and "On Your Knees!". (no air magic neccessary)

If you mean that you want to solo it than you should visit Rachtohs FOW solo armored cave spider build or his UW solo build.

Yeah, Rachtoh's builds are awesome. I'd start with the spiders though, the UW is much harder. The aataxes are brutal, and they're right at the start. Stuff up a weap switch and you may as well just be giving free plat to Grenth.

Check the "Solo Tyria Tour" by Witte Was, he has 2 builds for soloing UW and some for FoW too i think.

On Rachtoh's thread(i think it's the one that started the warriors soloing UW) you'll also find some nice info in the end about a W/E build that lambda the great & rachtoh are using now.

Witte also started a thread on the screenshots forum about soloing the entire UW with just one build, you might want to check it out for ideas.
