For the longest time i've been using the W/Rt VwK build to farm ectos off my warrior, but i got to thinking of the Aatxe and wondering if i could possibly add them to a warrior farming run, heres a few builds i just kinda threw together but havent been able to test yet as my warrior does not have any of the EotN pve titles

W/E Terra-Gladiator
Tactics-12+1+1
Earth Magic-12

Equipment:
Caster Sword/Axe/Spear(+5e 20% ench)
Tactics Shield +30 hp w/ -2(ench) mod

Armor:Minor Tac rune, Supp Vigor rune, 3x Vitae Runes
Insignia-Full Radiant

With this setup you have the following Stats
590 Health
33 Energy
149 Armor w/ -25 dmg reduc

[build prof=Warrior/Elementalist][Dwarven Stability][Gladiator's Defense]["To the Limit!"][Bonetti's Defense][Feel No Pain][Glyph of Swiftness][Stoneflesh Aura][Armor of Earth][/build]

with this build, i can easially see energy being an issue, also, being stripped by dying nightmares for people un-experienced with how to deal with them, this being the case i made an enchantless variant(w/ exception of dwarven stability) Also, this build survivablilty lies on Feel No Pain being able to outheal the damage taken through your armor+glads defense evasion

W/P Regen-Glads
Tactics-12+1+1
Command-12

Equipment:
any +30 health sword/axe
Shield w/ +30 hp and -2 in stance or -5(20%)

Armor: Same as above
Insingia-Full Knights/Stalwart/Survivor

With this setup you have the following stats:
Health 660(assuming survivor insig)
Energy 20
Armor 130 vs slashing(aatxe)

With this build energy and everything should be fine, and youve got almost max regen and higher health to cope with the slightly lower armor, not sure if it could survive the AAtxe though

[build prof=Warrior/Paragon][Dwarven Stability][Gladiator's Defense][Signet of Aggression]["To the Limit!"][Bonetti's Defense][Feel No Pain]["Never Surrender!"][Bladeturn Refrain][/build]


any thoughts/suggestions?

You should know

It would be REALLY slow since your only damage is glads defense and their regen would probably outdo your damage because aataxes get inherent 3 regen

I agree with Fat. Although it may be possible to eventually tank aatxes to death, it would not be nearly as efficient as doing smite runs. That being said, I think a shield with a +10 vs. slashing would be more effective, due to the beastly damage aatxes do and "You are all Weaklings" may be a potential addition to the build.

I would use Sliver Armour instead of Armour of Earth I would tend to think that the Vermin W/E farmrer would be better.

This is not the farming forum; you'd have better luck/more replies there.

Anyway, try these:

The second link is similar to your first build.
@Age: [[Armor of Earth] > [[Sliver Armor] for Aatxe. You need the armor bonus, and Aatxe have high armor versus elemental anyway.
