I don't think Armor of Earth and Watch Yourself! will stack anymore. I think Watch Yourself! is doing nothing, as Armor of Earth gets you past +25 armor, and adds more than Watch Yourself!

well i know it doesn't stack anymore it's just for soldiers stance while fighting 2.
I also use it when fighting against 1 aatxe and don't use Armor of Earth do have more energy for the riposte.
But you could try with another stance and both ripostes.

is ward of weakness necessary and what stats do you prefer for the earth wand? if ward of weakness is necessary can we substitute it for something else? is it just for killing dying nightmares?

to avoid aatxes risposte, bring a spear. switch to your sword when deadly risposte is nearly recharged.

Wasn't someone saying higher up that this doesn't work any more due to the armour-skill nerf?

You need the ward for the aatxe, not the nightmares. And yes, it is necessary. Long ago you could bodyblock enemies and tackle the aatxe one on one, tanking them with weakness (going /n for enfeeble) + Dolyak Signet + Watch Yourself. When that was changed for whatever reason (let's make AoE insane by allowing enemies to stand on one another ) you didn't have enough defense to deal with two aatxe at a time. The build evolved into using Armour of Earth + Dolyak Signet + Watch Yourself! and allowed you to barely take on two at once.

Then came the armour cap which seemed to be the final nail in the coffin.

Weakness + Armour of Earth's large bonus will give you the necessary defense to tank two again. However, it won't be enough to deal with dryders and smites are going to be a little slower without Dolyak Signet. In any case, it's a nice find and good to see that the aatxe can still be slain.
