Seriously though. When it comes to elemental I like to take advantage of their defensive spells or wards.

SOrry but i thought ettin farming got nerfed hard. I went their a few weeks ago and everyone was crying that it har dbeen nerfed has it been un-nerfed ?

Two things about this build. First take out galrath slash for inferno. Use inferno when they activate heal sig for about180 dmg at 10 fire. Second, the sup tactics is not needed. You can stay alive just fine against up to four ettins with only a minor tactics. Great build though, got two sups on my first run through these critters with this build.

hmmm acauly the build alone does not even require galrath slash, you can kill an ettin purly on normal hits, like i've killed one in 5 secs without even using skills bt frenzy alone....
but yeah i will try inferno insted of galrath slash ... seems energy costy though

I never really have energy issues with inferno, cuz it's really the only energy skill in this buid I use regularly save for ViM. I use glad's armor so I guess I probably have a little extra energy in my situation though. I end up using frenzy only to finish off one or two ettins b/c I have health problems for obvious reasons when frenzy kicks in.

Ettin Farming < Alliance Battles farming for Faction and Amber. ( And less fun too )

vancha problem with ur build is ur turning the war into more caster style. epidemic = 15 energy phantasm = 10 energy(off top of head) frenzy/flurry = 5 energy hundred blades = 5 energy

Hi All,
Being an older guild wars player i dont have much time to play on GW anymore
however here is the build i used to use when i was farming ettins.
1. Riposte
2. Deadly Reposte
3. Gash
4. Thrill of Victory
5. Glads Defence
6. Bonettis
7. Dolyak Sig
8. Heal Sig (When in doubt )
Strength - 13
Swords - Wotever was left
Tactics - 14
Although this may appear flaud with the use of block stances it is highly effective due to the high strength and dolyak sig. It may not be as quick as the other builds but u get hit far less then u need to.
I found that i can get through an ettin group of 3 in about 1 min and if i really wanted to challenge the myself i could take out 6 ettins inabout 1m45secs but that was on a good day
Its not the easiest build to use, however i prefer using this build as it is the same build that i can use anywhere to farm and easily avoid damage.
This applies especially later on when u can start to farm things a bit bigger than puny ettins

Hmmmm, if u want speed u really want 2 take Charge and Sprint, as the most time consuming thing is actually getting to them and then re-zoning, cuz u dont do only one run, u re zone them many times. killing them is no problem tbh, i use a full 16 tactics Riptose build, with gash to speed up the killing, and balanced stance for K/D
think build is
-"charge"
-Sprint
-Rip
-deadly Rip
-gash
-Balanced
-heal sig
-and "Watch Y/s"
16 tacs
and then balance it out on stre and Sword
and no need for secondary ;P

Ettin drops got a lot better around the time Factions came out.
But the increased supply of good runes cratered prices.

I use Icy Sword with Conjure Frost and Rust-- Rust makes their sigs a lot longer, which means they take more damage with -40 armor and they stop hitting you.

i use this build that i made:
sever artery
gash
galrath slash
dolyak signet
healing breeze
balthazars spirit
mending
healing- 9
sword
> spend the rest
strength
basically just spam dolyak and heal breeze. i can take on 6 ettins at a time.

This build stinks, sorry. There couldn't be a better time to use dolyak signet in this build. Drops aren't too good. Waste of time, sorry.

Well, at least this build works. And drops used to be good. If you read closely you'll see that last post was made couple months ago, when drops still were good.

to report, the quantity of gold runes is still nice and high here and with the recent rise in monk rune prices could be very profitable again
Thanas
Really, I found that rune drops here were still awful. May try farming here again. However in all fairness I've never understood the use of warriors here. My 55 necro can do the job a whole lot faster.

I've got a slighty updated build , will post a new vid on here soon
Lord Sarevok
The original build seems like it would be pretty fast. But I don't know if it compares to using the new Factions skills which makes this run even faster.
I use a W/Mo (the infamous) so I can use live vicariously. The advantage of live vicariously is that I don't have to stop to spend time to use healing signet and it lets me use frenzy non stop.
Healing 10
Sword 12+1+3=16
Strength = 8+1 = 9
Sever
Gash
Sun and moon slash
Galrath slash -- this is your optional, doesn't speed up things by much
Dragon slash(E)
Frenzy
Live vicariously
Sprint
Nothing like hitting sever,gas,sun and moon on the ettin's heal sig while under frenzy getting the kill in 3s. That assumes he didn't activate endure pain which they don't sometimes. Any group of 3 ettins should be gone in well under 30s and you sprint to the next group so you can keep your adrenaline from going away.

I used strength of honor + vampiric weapon myself
8(max SoH) + 3(Vampiric lifesteal) = 11, basicly same damage, just don't have to reapply it over and over, plus you get like 3 health every hit, and could combine monk healing spells if you wanted too, if you had enough room in the attributes line, but i dout that could happen unless you wanna use several superior runes
