Was wondering for quite sometime, what would be the best farmer of each campaign? Give me your thought and facts
Ele, mo, r, w, n or Me?
Assasin or Ritualist
Paragorn or dervish?
Best farmer of all campaign?
deathwearer

Rit for factions.....VWK FTW

Warriors are always a safe bet, especially for green farming, which makes more money than bulk farming and also helps balance the prices of the green market. After all greens should always be more affordable than perfect golds.

Well they all had their time, i think monk wins prophecies with the 55hp build, and wins factions again with the 600hp build, nightfall is hard to say, i think eles make awesome farmers and runners thanks to storm djinns haste and stoneflesh aura.

My Monk (580-550HP) can deal pretty good damage while healing at a substantial rate. Just make sure your Healing Prayers are at 15 and you can let your Smiting Prayers hang around 12 or 13. I don't know many Monks that use my build (it uses Mantra of Inscription to reduce Signet smites), but I think it works.
Signet of Judgment, I find, is the best way to take down groups... However, I think by saying that, all the Cookie Cutter Elitists that troll this forum are about to flame that opinion.
I think that if you go for a classic 55HP Monk, you can farm well... I've never had one... But I hear they make huge profit.
Basically, if you want to make profit and be just like every other Elite player on this forum, go here and just copy and paste a build onto a character.

warriors in my opinion, in prophecies they farmed: perdiction rock(i still do it sometimes, bad drops tho), minotaurs,trolls,grawls,mursaat,avicara,grenth footprint(lambada ftw),uw,fow,mmm ettins.
factions: vermins,(the guys in nahpui),wardens,bosses,saltspray dragons+the turtles,kirins+mosses,yeti.
nightfall: hekets,the monkey guys lol,bosses,...im sure that there are others.
the only thing i dont like about farming with a warrior is that most of the time you are killing 1 by 1 so it takes longuer..but its fun.

Mesmer for all, they can do anything the other professions can do plus more.

I supose it depends on what time of prophecies your talking about it, warriors did well with rune farming from tengu, monks did well before prot bond was nerfed.
Then there was the chest in dreads before it was nerfed, i supose anything could farm that, but again warriors and 55hp monks had the easiest time getting there.

Well, I can farm almost anything on my ele... so that gives you an idea. For starters though, you can't go wrong with a warrior.

Warr and monk were greatest farmers in Prophecies...dual UW and solo FoW FTW

This is pretty much the most rofl thing I've read in a week. congrats.

I could farm it all with my monk since prophecies and very fast too. First the 55 build, after that the 600 PB build and lately the SOA setup. In my opinion, monk is the best farming class. And it seems to be the chosen class for bot farmers or sweat shop farmers. That says enough. But one can farm with all classes, more or less effective.

If you follow the status quo and make a Cookie Cutter build, you'll make A LOT of money. However, People in game and Elitists on this forum will flame you for doing so (even though 90% have a Cookie Cutter on their account, or have had one in the past).
If you make a new build by yourself, then you are told to "Learn2Play" and are called a "n00b". I've even been told by Elitists on Guru that my Monk is "undoubtedly" a Cookie Cutter build, even though they have no idea what my build is. Either way, the response you'll always receive is "STFU".
If you follow the former, then you're rich and shunned by the community.
If you follow the latter, then you're moderate/poor and shunned by the community.
I went with the latter, but I recommend the former. SoA Sliver is a favorite of mine that I actually once considered for Aeris, but only because the name sounds cool. :/
Try using what they have on Guru and Wiki first. Then make your own build after seeing what combinations work! The best way to achieve killing large groups of enemies and farming is:Understanding your opponent's strength/weaknesses. Understanding your opponent's skills. Understanding your strength/weaknesses. Understanding your skills. Understanding the geography of the landscape. Timing.
If you understand your build and your enemy enough, you can enter any battle and still last long enough to at least flee successfully. ^_^

I think there's not a best farmer proffesion, because each proffesion can do something better then others.
Ritualist = mass farmer, fast kills, big time AOE like dmg with channeling and mesmer is a good 2nd for resistance and energy management
Warrior = slower farmer but can take loads stronger enemies then a Ritualist can handle.
In Tyria I farm a lot with my Ritualist/Mesmer which can fairly kill anything that come on her path as well it can be farmed even quicker then I ever saw a warrior farming something, a Ritualist in Tyria is just totally unbalanced.
I also tried to farm greens with my Ritualist, but I didn't succeed on that yet, those bosses are to strong for a weak Ritualist with almost no armor compared to a warrior. They totally depend on there skills and energy to keep them up.
This is what I know so far from experience, btw if someone know a good Ritualist build for farming bosses for greens, I really want to know that.

Tyria:Warrior and Ranger
Factions:Ele,Ranger and Assassin
Nightfall; Ele, Dervish, and a Mesmar
I would say Elementalist for Factions and Nightfall, fastest Green farmer there is. Also he can solo Dijnn etc for Ruby's etc.

Well now that Stone Striker has been introduced, E/R can solo pretty much everything except for mobs that use Chilliblains / Avatar of Grenth / Intimidating Aura.

A warrior generally has a wider range of farming possibilities because of the nature of their farming builds. However, their builds are also a little bit slower than other builds, but they make up for this with the amount of things possible to farm.
pegasux
Tyria - Necro or Monk 55's
Factions - Ele by far
Nightfall - Ele
The reason for the ele's in the last 2 campaigns is shadow form coupled with Sliver Armor. AI flee doesn't affect the farming since they are dead before they run. And when Shadow Form isn't usable for a certain area you go as a 55 E/Mo with Sliver and Glyph of Renewal [E]. That said there aren't too many bosses in the game i haven't been able to solo with my ele or warrior or monk or necro. Just a preference thing for which is better.

Any class can be farmed with if you try out builds. So the the winner imo is all of them.

i think monks are the best farming class in the three chapters of gw but if talking for each chapter alone then monks and W for prophecies Rt for factions and monks again for nightfall
