What is best Skill & point setup for W/Mo for IDS run?
Zero The Hero
I have a W/Mo lvl 20, I can make the IDS run fairly easy except for where Giants are and Birds are after that, Once i get to imps well im lucky if i can kill 2, so What I would like to know is what is best Skill & point setup for a W/Mo, or should I change to W/M?

Change to w/mes, IMO. Its important to have a lot of attribute points set into tactics for desperation blow. You only need one other attack skill besides that one (Galrath Slash or Executioners Strike). The rest is elemental resistance, heal sig, watch yourself, dolyak sig (very important), sprint, charge.
Its important to have at least 12 in tactics and 12 in strength. I've done both 15 attribute point quests, so if you havent its a good idea to do thoose, they're easily done with henchies. Put at least 10 in your wep slot, and the leftovers in inspiration magic.

i actually found that a W/Mo build is alot easier to run than the W/Mes build, though mabye a little slower
Atts :
11+4 Strength
10+1 Swords
9 Healing
Rest in Tactics / Smiting
Skills:
Dolyak Signet
Power Attack
Defy Pain*
Watch Yourself
Healing Breeze
Mending
Balthazar's Spirit
Sprint
this build is easier to run IMO because you dont have to worry about ice golems at all since no healing signet is used, and with all your defense buffs and dolyak signet on constantly, you can survive a maelstroem w/o healing breeze, though you should cast it as often as possible.
do the same run, but i use the south path since i find it easierand use the tundra giants to work off any DP i might have gotten, and if i dont have any DP i just use dolyak signet once when i reach them and as soon as i get close to the path through i hit sprint
for the ice imps, cast mending and balthazar's but make sure you have 10+ energy before entering. cast healing breeze and run in, hit dolyak signet, watch yourself, and defy pain. then wack away with power attack and spam healing breeze, defy pain, watch yourself, and dolyak signet.
very easy to run IMO

I do with W/Mes too i use
sprint/balanced stance/executioners strike/penetrating blow/desperation blow/dolyak/heal sig/elem resist/
i put 12 in weapon (because i read somewere this is your biggest gain per point setting)
i max out strength to get a full 20 seconds on doly
put 4 points +/- 1 into the one for elem resist cant remember atm what it is as im not ingame
and put rest into tactics

Endure Pain

Live Vicarously

The hardest part is the run since you have no way to heal.....
But once you get to Ice Imps you can solo it all day.
Make sure you have mending and live vicarously on then just go attack.
The draw back to W/me is the golem troll combo...they can give you problems casting and healing. The positive to this build is no casting just attacking. Use dolyak, watch yourself, and endure pain, to keep health up and just keep attacking.
I like going with the W/mes that always thinks W/mo's die to easy. Its funny after they die and realize that you will solo the rest.

If you search for a second you can find many ids run builds.
~OH, btw- you shouldnt be a w/mo a w/me is way better.

Should be a w/me???? Hmmm....I warrior doesnt carry a healing signet...outside of the underworld that is. Let see a W/me solo a ids farm without one. Stick with the monk and when your bored with IDS runs you can run w/me to droks.

Use a superior strength rune and either a superior sword/axe or tactics rune to get to those attributes. Use a vampiric sword (Victo's works great) or axe along with an enchant mod shield like Malinon's. With this build you can solo anything in mineral springs except the mesmer and necro avicara. If you can get a good strength req. shield you could reduce tactics and boost healing or maybe try to get Smiting Prayers to the next break point of 8.

This whole W/Mo vs W/Me is starting to remind me of a pissing contest...

W/mo vs W/me isnt a contest. Its personal preference.
