Easy W/Mes UW SOLO Full Guide =]
Avatara
Why would you run a sword instead of an axe for this build? It's like running Cleave while Whirling Axe is best.

the shield can be bought from him and the Sword is a collector's reward from this dude modded with an enchant upgrade, so my gear is by no menas perfect and there are a lot of options for shield and sword, but it works and it's easy
For armor, I use Full Knights with +1 Strength Helm with Sup Strength-, Swordmanship- and Absorptionrune, High Vigor and Minor Tactics
right now, I'm testing, whether it's possible to substitude Healing Sig for Lions Comfort. If that works, I could ditch the points in tactics and raise Swordmanship and/or Illusionmagic but I'm not sure how hard the "Disable all signets for 12 secs" would impact on Dolyak though im confident it might work...
thats going on teh first page

And why wont the best build (whirling axe) make it to the first page?

@ False healer.
why Dolyak signet + Physical Resistance?
why Channeling? I've been doing this run with a zealous axe and never find myself having energy problems.
edit: ectos!!

Why don't the smites break aggro? If they don't, then why don't take Triple Chop + Cyclone Axe to kill them faster, the zealous axe will cover the energy cost.
Ecksor
I'm thinking an A/Me could do this if he brought Way of Perfection, Golden Phoenix Strike, and Moebius Strike. Along with the Visages, that's 5 skills. You could throw in Physical Resistance, maybe Feigned Neutrality for even more healing, and a running skill like Dark Escape. Instead of Feigned Neutrality you could also bring maybe Deadly Paradox, to recharge your dagger skills even more.

@ deluxe, I didnt feel the need to spend 40~80k buying propper armor, runes and wepons on a build I was just trying out because I was bored

they will only break agroo if 4 or more of them are taking dmg around the same time and something like that lol
I hit ONE at a time, therefore no aggro
as for cyclone axe + triple chop.... they'll run into the sunset

Ok, i have not tried this build as of yet (b/c we never have favor), but have done many fow spider runs with my warrior. That said, what about switching to sword with dragon slash, silverwing, and galrath? We all know sword > axe in that respect, why people are constantly raving about the axe is beyond me . Was curious however if counter attack was NEEDED, because it would absolutely rule to bring an ias like flail with a dslash build...
Idk if you need counterattack, and also, can u keep the dmg to 0's with just the -2/-2 shield + asc armor + dolyak? I would guess this is possible, as you have ~34 armor added with dolyak @ 12 str compared to 40 with phys resist... looking at the energy aspect, u have a slightly noticable decline, but with only 2 energy skills on the bar and a zealous weapon... Will try this tonight (if we have favor ) and report back.
EDIT: ok, just tried this, obv not in uw, but it appears it SHOULD work. Enchants can stay up permanently with no zealous wep required, as they are the only 2 energy skills. As long as i rune my armor to increase strength i should be all set (to get the dolyak to stay up permanently as well). W/o a zealous wep mod, u could go furious...my personal favorite
. I'll b in the uw tonight and tell you all how it goes.

I bought me a nice strength req -2-2 shield an hour ago, also bought me some 15k ascalon for the fun of it
This is the build i am running at the moment:
I would like to try out a Dragonslasher build as posted above, but this warrior has not been trough all of factions yet. Will cap it tomorrow

the -2/-2 shield is not needed and neither is dolyak + physical resistance. I only use Dolyak and a normal -2 shield and I haven't died a single time.

with a -2 shield i sometimes took 1 or 2 damage, with the -2-2 shield you take no damage at all even if you tank 15 smites.
even if you tank 15 smites.

.... 
dunno, all you can use is 1 sup absorbtion anyways, try it with a -2 sheild and yeah eviscerate should be good, here but its best sticking to low cost adrenaline skills , if you use phsyical resistiacen or doylak sigit at 40 armor, add in watch yourself and you should be doing ok

Sweet guide. I remember back doing Ettin runs using guides like these. Ahh the good old days, now theres all these new skills that are making Prophecies monsters seem obsolete.
also. . .MUSE, nice choice!
Awesome band.

I'm currently farming this shield. I remember I helped a friend of me farming it (it isn't hard at all) and I think it might be usefull.

is it possible to make that -2/-2 shield or can you only get it by drop in Factions/Prophecies? because i tried to make that one, but as far as -2/stance & -2/ench are both inscriptions and i can put only one insc. into shield i don´t know how to make it (because only handles i found are for health)
so, any idea?

so, any idea? You can't make -2/-2, you'll have to get it in Prophecies/Factions, and I'm not 100% sure they still do drop.

Changed my build to: Dragon Slash, Galrath Slash, Standing Slash, Sun and Moon Slash SV, AV, PR, Sprint.
16 sword, 9 str, 10 illu, 6 insp. leaving 0 points.
I think it's faster then my previous axe build :P
Takes 10 adrenaline at start, but when dslash is loaded, you can start spamming

@ Deluxe
Have you tried dropping sun/moon and pr and replacing with dolyak and flail. I really think an IAS would help cut through the massive smite swarms. Though attributes will get tight with raising strength for dolyak... If it does work tho, you'd be swinging 33% faster with a +43 dmg attack every other attack once dslash charges. Put on furious and have a party. Every time we have favor, its time for me to go to bed, very disappointing, so I'll have to wait for the weekend .
On another note, does anyone know if the -2/-2 shields still drop? If anyone has one for sale pm me @ Natalia Entreri.

To the original poster, thank you taking the time to make a comprehensive guide and for sharing.*big thumbs up*
I have been playing around with this build also and have found that many different combos work, so it's just a matter of finding what you like best.
I'm even using Glads, as i havent got around to buying Knights or Sentinals yet.
Once agains great post man,soo glad to have my Warrior back in business.
Might have to change my avatar

Well gang, it seems like the fun is over. while clearing the chamber, 1 aataxe doesn't break aggro anymore(after speed buff). guess it's back to running straight to the smites.

Yeah I saw that guy when soloing with my ele. I had to run around in circles in the chamber while i waited for him to break agro.

If you time it properly, it doesn't happen.
If he does come down with the graspers, just run to the back cliff and hide behind the ghost, while still killing the graspers.
Once you've knocked them off run back up the stairs, no sprint, then when hes caught up to you, hit sprint and run back down to chamber, he will resume his patrol.

Well, i'd say Dragon Slash. takes 10 hits to load up, after that i unleash Galrath, Standing, Sun&Moon, 3 normal hits and Dragon is recharged again.

has anyone tried bringing heroes to clear the darkness? does it helps later on

this build works great. the only problem is the coldfires. i just got to the smites for the first time, and i dont want to disturb the coldfires, and i dont know their patrols. what do i do?

Those were the good old days.....spending hours, if not days in Riverside.
I like the build, but don't have factions so im screwed....BUT I did find a cheat code that makes you invincible.
Here it is: UP, UP, DOWN, DOWN, LEFT, RIGHT, LEFT, A, B, A, START
