Suggestions on a good warrior/mesmer open to anything want the best possible

you would? My edit would fare better in tombs right now, thats for sure. Yes, drain enchantment is a great skill for energy gain (the meagre 1 enchantment removed per 20 seconds is not the reason for this skill IMO) but a warrior doesnt need energy, especially axers. With all the emo smiters spamming draw these days, a diversion here and there can really dull their offensive. For a whole minute. Like I said before... shutting down the other teams smiters is NOT a warrior's job in tomb's. Just bring a mesmer... with diversion, who can do it more effectively, and *still* be efficient.

Your blackout theory might work if the other team only has one monk, but I don't see that happening. Unless you're doing Team Arena.

Don't get me wrong, I do absolutely love Fear Me. But I don't think that sacrificing your elite slot just to echo it is worth it. Especially when you can use Eviscerate, I mean, who can pass that skill up? Quick Question on Fear Me then Eonwe: can it really be used effectively at all without Echo (besides being in a team with two or three Warriors running Fear Me as well)? Thx.

Ok, so if you believe that diversion should be left to mesmers, shouldnt enchantment removal be left to necros? I think the viability of W/Me in tombs is limited, and the only teams i see who want them are for blackout and diversion (which does NOT have to be spammed, if you have a little skill and pick the right target)

uhm. Ok, so if you believe that diversion should be left to mesmers, shouldnt enchantment removal be left to necros? No, I don't think that enchantment removal should be left to necros at all. A warrior running enchantment removal can pull off enchantments on the spot without having to call for any removal, and he can still be efficient. A warrior running diversion isn't going to be efficient, sorry. Why? Because now not only does he have to worry about taking out the other teams monks, but he has to pay attention to the other team's smiters (if they have one, or possibly two) and keep them shut down at the expense of 10 energy which he could be using to help take down the enemy's monks faster. A mesmer with diversion is just going to be better in every scenario.

Atronach, if I was running a 4 energy drain fear me I'd have no mesmer skills on my bar :| . That's a different discussion though. So back on topic.

Pack as many enchant removals on your team as possible, IMO.

I love Signet of weariness too, just again, no echoed. But how on earth did mind wrack get in there? Leave mind wrack out of any build, it's terrible.

Energy drain... ehm, possibly. I wouldn't run it though, leave the energy draining to your monks and other casters who need the energy more than you do.

Blackout I've already explained why I dislike.

Once again wasting your elite slot on something like Fevered Dreams is just silly.

Fragility + warrior conditions does work nicely, granted you have a mesmer throwing the fragility on, and not yourself.

Dwarven Battle Stance still remains useless even with the so called "buff" they gave to it in the last patch. Point by point...
Fear me is one of the most powerful energy denial abilities in the game, and if you echo it, you can keep a monk at zero energy for as long as you want. It cannot be countered with spellbreaker like normal ED either. Giving up your elite slot can be remedied by using sword skills. Despite being worse than other weapons, sword is passable without an elite, and goes well with a build that wants to deal fair damage but have another major role as well (energy denial in this case).

Mind wrack is considered bad because there are better uses for a skill slot on a mesmer shutdown build, but on a warrior who wants to deny energy + deal damage, it's awesome. You'll be able to trigger it almost as often as you can cast it, quickly killing anyone. IMO most of the complaining about mind wrack comes from a few smart players decrying its most common use on an energy denial shutdown mesmer, and everyone else just mindlessly applying the criticism to every other use for it.

Energy drain, once again, goes well with sword skills.

You explained why you don't like blackout, but your point about it draining adrenaline is moot, given that you can choose to use it after an adrenaline draining finisher.

Agreed about fragility going better on another team member.

Dwarven Battle stance is useless because of its cooldown. Being able to mimic flourish gets rid of that, and allows you to take "knockdown support skills" instead of having to fill up on knockdown skills.

P.S. Can someone explain to me why "Fear Me!" is so good? I keep thinking, wow I can drain 3E from the foes near me. 3E just does not seem very sexy. With an axe I can do that every 5s if I want to sacrifice my offensive adrenal attack efficiency...is it useful for a single warrior? Or is the real benefit come in when you have 2+ warriors ganking the same target and spamming this every 5s or so? I'd always get my tactics high enough for 4 energy, perhaps the site description is wrong.
It's good because you can cast it so fast, just being near your target will more than negate their energy regen entirely. Use echo with it and you can drop them to zero pretty darn fast.
It's also good because it's so hard to counter being unaffected by breaker or obsidian flesh.

With 33% IAS, 4 strokes of adrenaline can be built up in ~(32/9)s (I'm ignoring the use of other adrenal skills, because I'm too lazy to do those models.) With 3E "Fear Me!" (8-12 Tactics), and assuming that every "Fear Me!" is perfectly timed, this is ~-2.53 pips of energy degeneration, AoE. With 4E "Fear Me!", this is ~-3.375 pips of energy degeneration, AoE. As "Fear Me!" is a shout, it cannot be interrupted or protected against, and energy denial against the warrior is mostly useless (and generally a wasted enterprise). Adrenal denial works, of course, but adrenal denial would damage a warrior significantly anyway, so carrying "Fear Me!" on most warriors doesn't make them any more vulnerable.

IMO most of the complaining about mind wrack comes from a few smart players decrying its most common use on an energy denial shutdown mesmer, and everyone else just mindlessly applying the criticism to every other use for it.. You do realize that in the time spent casting a lvl 12 mind wrack the warrior will have done more damage than the mind wrack will, IF the MW gets triggered? It sucks plain and simple.

Blackout is highly overrated. You are gimping your damage so badly for a one target shutdown. Play a hammer if thats your goal, you'll do much better.

I agree with eonwe on the echo/fear me combo. While it is extremely good energy denial, you are basically not going to put out much damage at all. Less than double the energy denial output (echos recharge) for doing by far less than half the damage output? I'll pass and take the standard axe with eviscerate and 1 fear me copy. It was very useful vs spirit spam though, as cyclone axe+fgj meant that you were firing off a fear me practically every second. Not as worth it now though.

I've been trying out a build similar to Eonwe's but I'd go with Shatter Enchantment instead. Although it's 5 energy more than Drain Enchantment, I prefer the damage over energy since in most cases it's never too much of a problem. Saying that it is useful to be able to spam Swift Chop against stance users. The reasons why I like Drain over Shatter is just the opposite of you. Drain even at it's most lowest form nets you 10 Energy back, putting you back at square 1 of course, while Shatter will cost you 15 Energy but damage your target. I don't carry a foci right now, so I need that Energy not only for Melee attack costing 5 Energy, but also for Frenzy and Sprint. I don't ever want to be caught with my pants down and not have enough Energy for Sprint and Frenzy (which I try to run constantly).
