Is there a warrior/(can be anything) solo wing three blade build? or do you have to do the whole ss/55 thing?

A riposte build should work on him. The only hard part is if he spawns with 2 or more ritualists you may need to rezone to make it easier.

You could try that, or use gladiators defense. The main thing is you will have to deal with about 1-2 mobs with enemy ritualists so you just want to make sure you can take them out, and out damage the bosses healing signet.

Here's my build that I used to farm Wing with: stopped after the inclusion of 2 ritualists.

You can still do it if there's one ritualist though, so if you see 2 rits, just rezone or something.

W/mo

11+1+3 tactics
10+1 swordsmanship
10 healing
1+1 str

Riposte
Gladiator's Defense
Bonetti's Defense
Deadly Riposte
Sever Artery
Vigorous Spirit
Live Vicariously
Sprint

I use a zealous katana of defense 15^50, glad's armor with a single piece of knights for the damage reduction.

Before engaging Wing's group, put up Live Vicariously and Vigorous Spirit, and run in and attack the ritualist. Put up Gladiator's Defense as soon as Wing aggroes you, and build up adrenaline to get off a sever artery on the Ritualist. You can throw in the Riposte's and Deadly Ripostes if Glad's defense is still up, but its important to make sure bonetti's is charged so you can enter into bonetti's as soon as glad's wears off.

Basically, the only hard part is killing the ritualist while keeping yourself alive. Always keep either bonetti's defense or Gladiator's defense up. Use riposite and deadly when glad's is up, and apply sever artery to the ritualist to make sure it has constant bleeding. Cast your vigorus spirit under the cover of riposte/deadly ripostes and wait until bonetti's is charged before you cancel it for server/vigorous spirit.

With 15 tactics, you should be able to deal enough damage to compensate for Wing's heal signet from ripsote/deadly riposte, and gladiator's defense.

I haven't done it in a while though, and with the latest update to the 2 healing spells, you might not need both of them, and can bring another attack skill instead.

I just did it, here's the build:

W/N

Strength 10 +1
Swordsmanship 9 +4
Tactics 10 +1

Distracting Blow
Bonetti's Defense
Galrath Slash
Deadly Riposte
Riposte
Dolyak Signet
Grenths Balance {E}
Healing Signet

Kill his ritualist first and try to disrupt his weapon of warding with distracting blow. Use dolyak signet whenever possible and use riposte and deadly riposte very often as it will kill off most of the damage. If your low on heal use grenths balance on Wing, this should get you back up to full health and do about 350 damage to him (make sure your around 100 health when you use grenths). Use bonetti's defense if you have too much damage being done to you, to gain energy, and also as an interim skill when dolyak sig is recharging. Next kill off the mesmer, then the elementalists, and finally Wing. When it is only you and Wing use riposte and deadly riposte whenever you can as it will be your main damage dealer. Try to also interupt his healing signet (it is very hard but it makes Wing die a lot quicker, even if you only interupt it once).

Eclair...that build does not seem to work as good. Thanks for the heads up tho. I think the War/Nec Grenths should work better.

Edit - I will take that back. The build does work. I killed him once. Was not easy, nor fast, but...it works. Have not gotten the axe yet. Thank you and I apologize.

Glad it worked, the W/N build is probably better as Grenth's Balance will probably keep you alive much better than the two healing spells I'm using, and do much more damage.

Try switching sever for distracting blow, as it might make killing the rits faster (I didn't really try it)

Edit: nvm, dolyak signet is probably good for the new buffed channeled strike.

I can kill him and both groups, regardless of the inclusion of Ritualists.

Eviscerate
Axe Whatever (The thing that gives him weakness... Rake?)
Executioner's Strike
Disrupting Chop (You better be REALLY good at Disrupting Chop)
Flurry
Dolyak
Live Vicariously
Vigorous Spirit

10 Heal
13 Str
13 Axe

Fun build. You can pretty much dominate all of them. Wing takes awhile, especially if you miss his signets.

Sentinel's Armor helps.

What's with Sentinel's armour that helps that gladiators won't do? The reason I'm asking is cuz I don't really want to get Sentinel's when I already have two pieces of armour...anything to make this run easier will help the ritualists are an arse to kill as riposte and deadly riposte don't work on them

I find it easier taking 2 warriors and dualing him, 1 warrior go in and aggro them on the bridge, when you get on the bridge hug the wall so the ritualist/mesmer/mages miss hitting you. The warrior on the bridge go W/Necro and using the ripotse build with Grenth Balance, attack the regular warrior and use GB on the boss when u need health and use Shield Stance/Bonetti's when you can. After you take aggro send the 2nd warrior in with full attack adrenaline moves(not ripotse) and kill the ritualist/others so the 1st warrior can ripotse the warriors and kill them without any healers there. I find it quick and easier so by time you get 2 axes or more to split amoung eachother its like getting 1 axe. Hope you can understand and have fun trying, least you get a friend to come along.

How fast does a run take you on a W/N? From leaving KC to killing Wing....

I'm curious for comparison to my solo build. Takes me about 5-8 mins door to door, including the running part.

Leaving from The Marketplace and getting to Wing, Three Blades takes about 2-3 min. And killing him and all his allies takes about 10min ?(Never been good with times xD).
so, lets say about 15min. Maybe 20.

P.S. Leaving from KC is much further and you have to face more mobs then if you would leave from The Marketplace.

I did this last night and it took me 10 minutes. No green drop, but I did a video and will be posting it soon. And I could have did it much faster but I struggled a little since I hadn't done it in a while. I bet I could do it on average ~8 minutes per run, door-to-door.

Sentinel's Armor helps. I got to him twice alone and cleared all mobs but him using the Rezon evasion tank (R/W - Escape), but I could never disrupt his heal in time, fights went on forever and never stopped... I had to get a guildy to help me duo it, thankfully it dropped first run... is there an easier way to stop this? ;_;
Also, the guildy was an Mo/E.. I got her to cast rust on him... I couldnt do it disrupt it without help... if only I was a mez and the disruption was instant instead of the next bloody swing.

Any tips? :/

if you don't have IAS, you usually have to anticipate when he's going to use heal sig. I find when I go against Wing and he's low on hp, he uses his heal sig quite often in this fashion:

Heal Sig -> Swing -> Skill(Furious Axe/Triple Chop) -> Heal Sig

so buffer in the disrupting chop after the skill is done. You pretty much only have to get him once. 20 seconds of disabled heal sig is usually enough to take him down from half/low health to none.

Not sure if your damage output causes him to use his heal sig differently, but I've noticed that he does Heal Sig->Furious/Triple->Cyclone->Heal Sig

Usually you want to hit your disrupting chop right after he uses the 2nd skill in anticipation of the Heal Sig.

Well... frenzy is a stance, and if I go into any other stance besides my evasion stances while fighting a melee boss, I get hurt bad.. and if go into frenzy.. I get killed bad..

Casting Ignorance or Rust from a friend works. I found I could successively Disrupt his signet enough times to kill him. About 2-3 chops in a row will work.

Practice makes perfect.

Anyone know if a 55 necro would work..?

A 55 necro or a 55 monk and SS necro duo would fail miserably. The mesmers use the Elite Skill Expel Hexes. It removes TWO hexes from any target ally. Meaning that SS and your cover are gone instantly. If you bring more cover hexes, they just recast expel hexes.

I tried to SS for a 55 monk on this. Failed miserably.

So no, 55 necro doesn't work. You could try a Dark Aura bomber on 55 necro though, that might work.
