Go HERE
Type W/E into the text box just above Author and click 'Filter'
Edit: You could also type 'Warrior' in there for a bigger selection.
Try any of those ;)

depends on what u want to make. when i first started making builds, i just threw crap together. you have to look at skills and read them, so you can figure out how/if they can chain. it takes time to get "good" at this, so dont worry, experiment, you could find some crazy new build that everyone wants to use

i think that the best way to get better at making builds is to play through the game, and to try out any new skills you can. once you actually learn how skills work, and what situations they are useful in, then you will think "Aha! i could do this and this", since you know the skills well. so with knowledge and experience of the game will come better build-making.
on a slightly more off-topic note... Marth FTW grishnak lol.

I used to be horrible at making builds too, because I just took skills that looked good at the max of their particular attribute. Now, I'm better.
A tip if you want to make your own build is to pick skills from only 2-3 attributes and pick skills that work well together. Example would be (for W/E): Shock (or Gale), "On your knees!", and a few defensive warrior stances. You can possibly chain Shock (or Gale) with "OYK!" to instantly recharge all your long-recharging stances for just 6 Adrenaline.
Another tip: Try a skill even though it may appear to be useless. Conjure Air, Fire, or Frost only add (at most) +17 Cold Damage, but more realistically closer to +10. It may not feel like a lot, especially when you might already hit for 70, but the damage adds up. If you do 4 hits (at +17), it counts as much damage as 5 hits.
Remember to use skills that are suitable for the area you're in. If you're in the Maguuma Jungle, Fire Magic will outdamage Water or Earth magic every time. So try a Fiery Sword/Axe/Hammer upgrade. If you're fighting mostly caster classes, don't bring stances that increase your chances to block melee attacks.
It's all feel. Sometimes you'll feel good about a particular skill set and weapons, and it'll turn out not working so well. Other times, you might be messing around and discover the new solo UW build that EVERYONE wants to use and you'll make a fortune and a half. Just keep trying, and eventually you'll come up with something that works for your play style.

your among friends, and game amp user will not criticize rather critique whatever you put out.
being new to game is rather unfair as you have to unlock skills. too often the basic spells, skill, hexes, etc you get are fine for lower level characters but as you move on to stronger more resislent characters you need better skills.
I used a W / E. This is a hard combo. Elemenist require huge amounts of energy, this is where glyph of lesser energy is going to help. I would not advise using too many Elemenist stuff, stick to the warrior skills you have now and maybe use ward of melee. firestorm and fireball may look tempting, but stay away from it, itll just drain your energy. as a starting warrior you dont have many andrenaline skills unlocked yet. warriors dont have energy pools like casters.
If your playing a pvp character you cant load templates listed on websites until you have unlocked skill for that characters. to unlock skills in pvp you can pay the 40 bucks to anet for the pvp skills package or unlock them through balthazaar points (through wining and killing)
to unlock skills in pve, do the quests or buy skills from trainers. dont spend all your skill points on stuff you might get for free doing a quest.
As a starting warrior, watch how many monsters you aggro. The warrior has the strongest armour in the game, but remember some monsters have Elemenist AoE spells like lightining that cause piercing damage.
Remember when it comes to runes, your legs, and your head are the weakest part on your character. Add runes for extra amour or health or recieved neg physical dmg.
Guildwiki isnt the only place for builds. Start on the official Guildwars Page and look through the articles on basic build design and game mechanics.
However let me say GW is not about reading, is more about doing. Find some ppl online who are starting out like you or experienced GW ppl and learn from them.
Everyone was a noob at one time another, others still act like a noob even though they beat the game.

Not sure u mean they have less armor or they give less like energy(?).. but also to be added hand parts too are the "weakest".

You wont really be able to run alone at any point and time because the game is set up so you'll need a party.
It would help to know what campaigns you have in order to help you with builds.... or you could just wiki and modify xD.

You can't just write good builds in no time:
EXPERIMENT
Think on 3 things:
- Armor
- Damage dealing
- energy
Armor:Since you are a W/e you need a lot of energy so get some Gladiator armor or a armor with radiant insignia's on it.
Try these/this skill(s) for armor:
Stoneflesh Aura
Dmg dealing: Use skills like
Headbutt for high damage or try using the ripostes,
Energy: try Bonneti's Defense for energy or Glyph off lesser Energy
NOTE: SKILLS IN THIS GUIDE ARE NIGHTFALL, FACTIONS AND PROPHECIES SKILLS
Also if you want a build for farming in Nightfall take a look at my Sandstorm Warrior

I've not read all of the thread cuz i am lazy, but i think what he is refering to is the buildmakers challenge thread. It is 'run' by Wyat_hawke and Corruplt Intrept, it was basically you give them the proffesion and a few other details and they make you a build up HERE is the 2nd and l8est thread, enjoy :D
