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.

is this a presear item? where do you get this sword?
Racthoh
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
jbwarrior
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?

Or is there some 1 with any suggestions for a solo build?

Racthoh
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.

Xaero Gouki Kriegor

* If you are doing spawning pool or labyrinth, what do you use 15 tac, 12 strenght or 12 tac and 15 strenght?
* how do you deal with smites, cold fire's and dryders?
* nothing in swordmanship?

riposte = need a sword, but not sword skill
so, dont need sword attributes

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

Warriors always have excuses...
Sooo when's the nerf to dolyak signet?
Sooo when's the nerf to dolyak signet?
Underworld Calling
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.

johan the destroyer
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.

Has anyone tried to swop desperation/drunken blow with Sliver armor??

The problem is it won't last too long, doesn't trigger all of the time, and won't make the Dryder's bleed (and you really need them to bleed to overcome the Aura of Restortation).
Kelson
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.

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

Almost 3am here and im uber bored, gonna try this build.
2 questions.
1) How hard is it to do clear the labrynth/unwanted guests.
2) When fighting aataxe, you gotta only let one attack, right?

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

The sword I got and modded it toget the stats Racs talking about but damn to find the proper shield is a pain in the
well you know where
MWUHAHAHAHAHA

MWUHAHAHAHAHA
Arkantos
Lol, I just got the +10AL sword and I'm also looking for a +10 vs fire shield
Problem is, I'm outta cash


Arangja
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

Which defense mod do you mean? 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.

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.

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
