Game teasing me again.

When people say build diversity in GW1, they really mean combining skills, gear, and ultimately team compositions to produce effective if unconventional builds. My personal favorite individual builds are Yung Rocks' Mesmer/Warrior Psycho Thumper build (Mesmer knockdown into hammer spam; if you find an +5 Fast Casting mod for a hammer, you can probably do a Warrior/Mesmer variant if you wish) and Elementalist/Ranger Ebon Dragon (pet-based damage packet spam; you can probably modify it to have a PBAoE elementalist that follows you into battle and casts Double Dragon on you).
FWIW, Warrior/Elementalist is kind of a bad combo because a lot of the elementalist skills have a high energy cost and warrior has the lowest energy pool and worst energy regen. So you're highly restricted to low cost energy skills, signets, or adrenaline skills.
I don't played Warrior (in fact, I've pretty much only played a crap-ton of whacky builds for Mesmer and Elementalist), but for the most cross-synergy stuff in its toolbox, you should probably keep an eye on Warrior's Endurance and Flourish (and Seven Weapons Stance once you've reached the end of Factions + ask someone in Kamadan for the Proof of Triumph). They will all enable you (to varying degrees) to use energy-based attack skills from other professions. Or if you want to dive into the deep end, you can try doing hammer/dagger builds that use hammer to prime with a knockdown and swapping to daggers to use knockdown-target-only skils.
For the archetype you described, I would go Elementalist/Warrior which has a lot of fun builds for all elements (I like alternating between Warrior and Assassin secondary on my iron man Elementalist).
- I personally prefer an air axe Ride the Lightning variant that lets me spam teleports, covers my melee with Blind, and self-supplies Cracked Armor
- Krshkr has a fire axe build that matches your fantasy (minus the sword) that looks pretty cool. You probably don't have the Engrave axe so you can drop a few points in Energy Storage to get enough Axe Mastery to meet your weapon requirement. Supplement with a Fevered Dreams Mesmer to spread the conditions and you've got a potent duo which a lot of burst and caster shutdown.
- The general "problem" with sword builds that don't go all in with Swordmanship is that you skip out on the elite Hundred Blades which is a pretty darn good elite
Some other miscellaneous warrior synergies/builds:
- If you make it to Eye of the North, Symbolic Strike with a nearly full bar of signets hits looks pretty fun
- Signets can be a mix of Warrior (to be tankier/juice your melee), Mesmer (for interrupts and general ranged AoE damage) or Assassin (if you have a team that supplies conditions, this gives you good single target ranged damage)
- Also Tryptophan Signet is a decent snare
- Fevered Dreams mesmer lets you do some fun things with sword (specifically with Crippling Slash and Gash with Reap Impurities or Crystal Wave)
- Frustration mesmers lets you do some fun things with interrupt spam (usually sword but can use axe or daggers)

I've found a dual zeal and a dual vamp bow but the high req and common skin makes me think they aren't that valuable.
Hornbow is Hornbow (stoneshard).
Thanks in advance!

After you finish Althea's Ashes, go directly south of Piken Square to that pit area. Ghost of Althea should be right outside the dungeon and give you the next quest "Elegy for Those Left Behind".
Then in Piken Square, get "The Cost of Survival" from Kopp the Quick.
Then Ghost of Althea hands you the final quest on the first level of the dungeon.
Doombox just released a video if you need a visual guide. There is also this forum post.
Also need to be in Reforged Mode.

Some drops on my Melandru's Accord character.
I also got a 15^50 from another bow that I forgot to record before I salvaged it.
