Right! First off, hey, my first post here.

Secondly, i played for 2 years before taking a rather large break (8 months, maybe a little less.) So i'm completely out of loop, which is mostly whyi m posting this!

First, UW: My main is a W/Mo, (With RT and E optional as well) and i really want to solo UW without having to go through the entire Factions campaign again to get the RT elite (Vengeful is whats his face) I mean, i dont care if it takes a while, i just want to be able to do it if i want ( I never did much of it before leaving, did some Tomb of primeval in groups ect). I've been told to swap to W/RT but im slightly reluctant unless its the only way i could do it.

Other farming spots for my warrior, Now that i come back and try some reasonably easy farming spots (hydras, gryphons and so on, you know, nooby level 20 ones to get me back into it) They drop rather feeble items now compared to what they used too, are they nerfed or am i just getting horrid luck?

Warriors seem to have become less and less popular since i took a break xD? or am i just seeing them less?

With new skills and so on from GWeN, is sword still viable for a all around pve use? Or should i swap to axe? (i'm likely to use axe for farming because of cyclone axe and so on)

- Cheers.

(Sorry if it shoud be in the farming area, i wasn't sure.)

(i'm likely to use axe for farming because of cyclone axe and so on) It really depends on what you prefer, I would say through personal experience, axes are far more useful in PvP, while swords and axes are both popular in PvE.

Use whatever you like, useful and efficient builds exist for both.

As for farming, cyclone axe + triple chop should suit your needs as far as hitting multiple foes.

Well, you could unlock [skill=text]Vengeful was Khanhei[/skill] and then use an Elite Ritualist tome to learn it on your character. That would cost you upwards of 6-10k to buy though, and in my opinion it is worth the effort to just go cap it normally. As far as I know, W/Rt is one of the only (or at least the best) ways for a Warrior to solo farm the Underworld.

The Stone Elementals outside of Sardelac Sanitarium in Hard Mode are very easily farmable for a warrior using a standard Riposte farm build. They're all (or nearly all) warriors using pretty basic builds.

(i'm likely to use axe for farming because of cyclone axe and so on) Eye of the North had a minimal impact on most classes. Most skills in EotN are PvE-only skills for any profession. Sword is currently the optimal choice for PvE as it has superior DPS with the right build. Axe is still a solid choice I suppose, so use whatever you enjoy.

Yeah you can far the UW not using W/Rt although I don't know the build, I think there is a W/me and a W/D and maybe some more. I do suggest getting VwK, it makes farming a snoozefest.

UW can be done with every secondary except for Ranger and Assassin afaik. They're not the fastest, but they're doable. I don't know them though, so you'll have to search a bit.
