The guide: There are several types of warriors you can farm with this build, including the Mighty Grawl that drop the hammer Ice Breaker. Here are the guides to soloing these monsters. In every case, have Balthazar's Spirit and Mending on before you enter the fray:

Trolls:
Troll Cave West of Droknar's Forge, if you encounter any groups of Avicara along the way, use Sprint to evade. Try not to let a huge group attack you all at once. Attack a chosen Troll, and spam the Ripostes to do damage. First, use Shield Stance and Dolyak Signet. When Shield Stance is over, make sure you use Healing Hands and Dolyak Signet to heal yourself. Make SURE you have at least one of the three skills mentioned above on. Death will come quickly if you do not. Keep Dolyak Signet on as much as possible, NEVER combine Shield Stance and Healing Hands as it will only diminish your healing. Make sure you are spamming the Ripostes during this entire time, avoid the Ranger Boss, because it will end up being the last troll there, and you'll hardly be able to hit it due to the Escape Elite Skill he carries. Drops vary.

Tundra Giants:
West of Droknar's Forge. Southern Path through the Troll Cave. If you do not want to fight the Trolls to get through, you will need a bit of running skill to get through without fighting them. If you get trapped, just do your best to fight them. Once you get to the giants, the only real danger is agroing a nearby Avicara Patrol. Dolyak Signet is to be kept up at all times possible, if they manage to knock you down and give you Deep Wound with Crushing Blow. Do not despair, it is only a minor wound that Healing Hands can still fix. Shield Stance can work to counter attacks and avoid knockdown. Use the same cycling process as forementioned in the Troll section of the Guide. They are fairly easy to kill and yield fair drops, the occasional golden Giant Bracer is a nice suprise.

Mighty Grawl:
This is probably the only part of this farm build that actually takes some talent and luck. Run to the Grawl East from the entrance of Droknar’s Forge past a group of Avicara and Trolls that are fighting, and North of a group of Ice Imps. Do not hug either wall, stay in the middle as best you can. If you hug the West Wall you’re bound to agro the Avicara and Grawl Groups. If you hug the East Wall, greater dangers will await you in Siege Ice Golems and Ice Imp Groups scattered around there. Once you get to a purple-ish ramp, go down it onto a Frozen Lake. If the group ahead has a boss with either a Monk or Elementalist Boss, either bug out and start over or run past the group. Lure the Warrior Grawl away from the Barbed Grawl; they will use Chilbailans on you and remove your life giving Enchantments. If your Enchantments are removed with Chilbailans, cast Balthazar’s Spirit, Mending, and then Healing Hands as soon as it recharges, cover yourself with Shield Stance if possible. Do not count on your Mending for healing, as the Barbed Grawl will use Life Siphon and therefore cancel out your +3 Health Regeneration, if you are agroing a group with the Ranger boss, you will have -4 Health Regeneration. Mostly focus your attention on the groups that have Mighty Grawl actually wielding the Ice Breaker.

Have fun!
