Heres the Situation

I've had guildwars for 2 years, played it hardcore for about a year, going topk every waking minute, this was around the time of spirit spam, smiters, 8 team burial grounds and guilds like HOT, sB, WM, Clan Plus, Black Rose ?Gaming and so on.

I then created a farming monk, (55hp) and farmed the griffons to death.

i quit and went to wow and now i came back, leveled a warrior to 20 in NF and managed to get my mits on 15k Primeval armour from my leftover money and materials.

Now im stuck for choice.

Ive read the past 7-8 pages of here and found some nice information but it seems very partial.

things ive picked up on since i left.

HM farming is the way to go
ways loot/money is varied in drops

but im still stuck for decent warrior builds for swordsmanship, ive read the build repository and there is so many that i just cant go through them all and test them rigorously. There also seems a very large amount of places to farm, most of them being just HM versions of the old farming places (mino's hydras and such) but there doesnt seem to be many NF areas, and as ive just completed the NF campaign in about a week i dont fancy doing prophecies for about the 12th time.

So what i would like to know is if there is any Main builds (like the 55hp - SoJ/prot/breeze/balth aura/balth spirit/blessing ect) but for a sword warrior.
and what kinda spots i would be aiming to farm, not exact routes or mobs or tactics, thats the fun of finding out just particular zones to try out and test.

Thanks in advance.

the best (by this i mean most lucrative) warrior primary farm at the moment is W/Rt Vengeful UW Farmer.

Using Vengeful was Khenai (spelling!) you can solo the smites in the UW, it usually equates to 1 ecto per 12-15min run.

Failing that, you can do Hero trapping in Stygian Vale HM for some nice gold drops and ludicrous xp. just have Necro secondary and bring a run skill, mark of pain and a res.

Also, it is entirely possible to do the Urgoz HM farm using War primary. Go Ranger or Rt secondary and put 4-5 spirits down and wait for the Vampires to kill themselves. you get many golds doing that.

Also, look up the treasure chest, buried treasure's locations in NF and go round them with your Warrior. you will net a nice 15-20k and a few golds for free.

Failing that, try Witte's Solo farm guide, theres loads of builds there, but they arent always up to date.

Also just check the front page of the farming guides here to see the most up to date stuff.

Hope that helps :-)

if you are going for uw solo, w/d with Defy pain is much quicker (needs a bit getting used to tho). run a search, there was a thread with a lot of info on it.

its true, HM brought some difficulties for getting gold with it :P
