W/R Farming: This is truly challenging. Time for some help from the pros.
Tyr Gunn Aesir
Pretty much what the thread title says. I've been trying to find an effective build for farming with a Warrior/Ranger. It's pretty darn tough, but it seems possible. I've looked everywhere for help... and I think I've tried everything. Maybe someone here is up to the challenge?

tried apply poison + cylcone axe?? heard from some1 that it is ok. havnt been able to try it myself
ThePadawan
Apply Poison + Cyclone Axe is awesome for farming and the entire PVE storyline. EoE and Tigers Fury can help too (Tigers Fury more generally). The problem is, it lacks solo tanking skills things like W/Me with Mantras and other specific Inspiration skills and W/Mo with... Wammo skills.

Try looking for pure warrior builds....the build I run for FoW farming requires only Warrior skills

This is definitely a good start. I've found more help in these past few posts about this then I've been able to find myself in the last couple months!
lambda the great
I posted this http://www.guildwarsguru.com/forum/s...d.php?t=109019
Wasn't too popular, guess people like W/mo better even though it slower.

Can you post that build? O_o

Why not just change your secondary when farming, then switch back to W/R for whatever else you do. It takes all of 10 seconds to switch.

Only because finding a W/R farming build is challenging.

For Ettins this may work...
W/R Axe warrior
Sprint
Flury
Dismember [E]
Disrupting Chop
Executioners
Penetrating Blow
Apply Poison
Troll Ungent
1. Apply Poison
2. Use Flurry to build up adrenaline
3. Use Disrupting Chop when Ettin uses heal sig.
4. Release your adernaline based skills for a spike.

Anyways, never farmed Ettins with Warriors before (I don't even have one!), but wouldn't Cyclone Axe also work with Apply Poison?

Doesn't sound too challenging to be honest. Ripostes, evasive stances and Healing Signet would get you through easily.

A purely warrior riposite build:
1. Riposite
2. Deadly riposite
3. Pure strike
4. Distracting Blow
5. Heal sig
6. Dolyaks Sig
7. Sprint
8. Glads defense
Purely defensive...can take on 5-6 ettins no problemos (usually 3-4 in a pack). If you're a ranger you can use Tiger's Fury too. Of course hundred blades instead of glads defense is fine too guess.

OK someone posted a w/e build with conjure "elements" and ViM. Well I gave it some thought and came up with something better. Instead of using w/e I use w/r. Changed Conjure "elements" to Apply poison. Reason? ViM! I get more energy return and health with the added condition.
Ettins are killed just as fast as with a w/e build with better energy management and healing. Wanna know something? For a warrior I have 0 regen for energy and I have a max energy of 38. Zealous modded sword and +15 energy -1 regen offhand item. Energy is NEVER EVER a problem.
Flurry <--- You can use frenzy if u like but flurry is safer
Sever Artery
Gash
Riposte
Deadly Riposte
Victory is mine <---- The only heal and energy management skill I use
Heal sig <---- back up only
Apply Poison <----- much better then Ele's conjure "element" because it makes better use of ViM

I use Wa/Ra for spider farming in FoW, purely so I can have Melandru's Resilience and Troll Ungeant. These can give you a pretty monstrous regen, even with Wilderness Survival only at 8.
Combined with those, Watch Yourself and Dolyak Signet for armour.
Healing Signet for that back up healing
Sprint for getting through mobs you don't want to fight and the occasional 'tactical regrouping' *ahem*
Cyclone Axe for mass adrenal gain and some extra dps. If you have a zealous axe this will also help with energy management.
The final skill is pretty flexible, but I usually stick in an adrenal attack like penetrating blow.
