Hey Racthoh,

Very nice those builds of yours.

But my questions is as follow; what build is better, the W/N or W/E build?

So, enfeeble or armor of earth?

Is it also possible to solo "Tomb of the Primeval Kings" with this build?

Again: Very nice work!!!!!

Armour of Earth is easier, provided you know how to react to a Dying Nightmare popping up and rending your enchantment.

Get to level 2, go to Ascalon City, get the quest from Rurik (Charr at the gates I believe it's called). The sword has +5 AL while enchanted, you can mod it with a +5 pommel for +10 overall. The whole process takes less than a half an hour to gain the one level, take the mesmer secondary (quickest way to choose your second profession), do the quest and leave. Make sure to quit before the academy finishes loading, reload GW and you'll be past that scrimmage part.

Can't u use, kinetic armor instead of armor of earth?

Kinetic armor, give you more armor and you don't move slower.

With this W/E build, how do you approach those blade aaxtes, coldfire's, smite's, dryders and so on??

I did it today a total of 15 times, with the first blade aaxtes i died

any info is welcome, maybe also screenshots or, video with the W/E build

Thanks guys

kinetic armor you have to keep up with a spell every 5 seconds or it dies, try doing this with 2 pips of energy with only a zealous sword to help, and im sorry, but when i use to tell my guildies about farming with dolyak and etc and they mention the speed reduce, i cant help but laugh, but why do you need to run fast if your gonna tank something? only possible reason i could think of for non reduce movement speed would be if your kiting which this build isnt about, and also if yo look at the beginning of the forum, their is a video with screenshots on how to do the basic setup, the w/e is no different, same method, except easier since you can see when armor of earth ending, instead of watching the smoke on the ground near the aatxe disappearing

Ok, thanks for the answer.

If you aggroe the blade aaxtes, and a nightmare pups up, you have to kill him first isn't it?

You have to kill the nightmare right away, yes. One Desperation Blow pretty much kills the thing.

And it cannot solo the other tombs, interrupts and lack of energy and lack of being able to hit.

* how do you deal with smites, cold fire's and dryders?

* nothing in swordmanship?

You basically bleed everything to death, and if it doesn't bleed and isn't melee... prepare for a wait.

Dolyak signet doesn't need a nerf.

If its nerfed, then warriors lose one of their best tanking skills.

And without tanks, how would casters stay alive?

I don't think you noticed the way a solo warrior can tank practically the entire Underworld without monk support.

At least an armor cap, mmm.

So a warrior can solo it without monks....have you ever tried it. Its pretty dang slow compared to a 2-man team, so it doesn't need it a nerf. Its not bottable, its not exactly lightning-fast, so leave it as it is.

At least an armor cap, mmm. If they were gonna nerf it, they would probably cap it at 20Armor, and make you move 50% slower. Or change the recharge to 30 seconds so if your running 15 Strenght you can have Infinate amoutn of DolyaK!

I've been using a W/Me build

Riposte
Gladiator's Defense [E]
Bonnetti's Defense
Ancestor's Visage
Sympathetic Visage
Dolyak Signet
Sprint
Healing Signet

Illusion: 9
Strength 9-12
Tactics: 16
Sword: Leftovers (4)


You can't handle attaxes, dryders, etc., etc. like this, but you can kill the Darknesses & Smites easily.

OK so desperation/drunken blow is then mainly for the dryders/casters seeing that the melee attackers will get bleeding from deadly riposte??

Also wanted to know if the following wand would be any good:
Earth Wand of Defense
Earth dmg: 10-20 (Requires 8 Earth Magic)
Energy +12
Energy regeneration -1
HSR (Chance 9%)
Armor +5

I dont know exactly how bad the -1 regeneration will be but because of the +12 boost you would be able to get everything up you need and still have some in reserve untill you can cast benotis

And about the aatxes, there was a mention earlyer in these pages that the stratagy to kill the aatxes is still basically the same as Rac's origonal W/N tactics, so lure them hide somewhere where only 1 can attack at a time and take them out slowly but surely

GL m8 hope you get it done

Yea finding that shield is a bitch, been surching for some time now and nothing

Well I'm sure well find them somewhere

EDIT:
Well I found this
Armor 16 (Require 8 Tactics)
Health +44 (while in stance)
Armor +10 (vs. Fire Attacks)

I would have liked the Health mod to have rather been a defense mod but beggers cant be choosers right.

So now I got all the stuff together, put a bit of a dent in my pocket but hope the run will make up for it

Can always fall back on the spiders for a steady income

It already has the +10 vs. fire, -2 in stance would be useless since the dryders don't do physical damage. The +health is optimal, although in stance isn't the best option since you can't be wasting energy going into Glads and Bonetti's will end once you use a skill.

Unwanted guests is a pain, I haven't done it yet since I've only attempted it the one time. Getting hit by a Vengeful's Protector's Strike hurts, but they don't follow you too much and Gladiator's Defense will block most of their attacks.

Unwanted Guests is pie,
Clear out the Chamber and Part of the forgotten vales(Everything around the statue, watchout for patrols) then run back to The Reaper, take the quest, teleport to Forgotten Vale, head back to the chamber, pull the First keeper wil wand, Deperation blow him to death, stand back, fight 3 Dryders, First group done.

2nd wait for the patrolling Dryders to come kills them. Take a longbow shoot a Vengful Aaxte walk backwards back down the way to the Forgotten vale(only go down 1 ramp) put glads defense on run past the keeper down the stairs and to the right, you should have aggro broken. Wait for the Dryders in the Third group(the one where you first enter UW at) then kill them, kill the keeper afterwards(Watchout for those Vengfull Aatxe.

Now Head back to the 2nd group, pull the keeper with a bow, kill it, bye bye Aatxe, Head to the smites, for this group, kill the Dryders first(Wait till the come by the stairs near the right gate) kill then them Kill there Keeper.

5th Group, Kill the Patrolling Terrowebs at the top of the stairs, pull the keeper and kill it, 5 down 1 more to go.

6th group, run to the Dryders out of the ledge(Near the river thing) kioll the dryders head for the keeper, kill it waa laa 10k EXP is yours...I foudn it easier to do it on My warrior than my Mesmer...hmm, it was fun...time to do the slayer quest on top of Twin serpant mts.

i think it maybe possible to take on aatxe, with no evasion at all, just bare defense vs brute damage, but i dunno, gonna have to test some stuff
