Having just started playing again after a very long break, I have decided to focus time on a single char. I have every char and setup imaginable, but this time around I will choose a main and stick to it. Maybe I can actually get FoW armor this time!
What would you say is the char with the best money making abilities out there? I am kinda torn between monk or necro, as it seems as those two has the most options available to them.
Your thoughts is greatly appreciated.
What class is considered the best general farmer

The 55 Monk is geberally considered the best overall farmer in my opinion. With a Necro secondary you can use Spoil Victor, Spiteful Spirit, or just stick with SoJ.

well, i absolutely love my necro. i farm everywhere with him and spoil the crap out of him. however, best GENERAL farmer is probably monk. Mo/D can farm a TON of places. monks can farm UW and FoW, in hard or normal mode. they can farm... well, you name it. 55 necros are faster imo, but 55 monks have that interchangeability between second profession, primary offensive skill, and whatnot. not to mention you have divine favor. sure, monks can also farm as non-55s, but then their options are limited.
that's my piece.

Farming regular monsters is really over rated unless you want a common gold drop by the monster. killing monsters one by one will yield more drops. Necros are good in certain areas for killing monsters fast one by one but monks are more versatile in killing different areas. E/A is great boss farmer and greens sell well. there is other ways to make money like running. Most agree that running or soloing missions can get you more gold per hour than farming but u have to be experienced and you u have your ups and downs with scammers.

Monk has tons and tons of places that it can farm (55 or not) A lot of these can only be done with a monk. Plus they can farm hard mode with relative ease.

Monks and warriors seem to be the most versatile of toons, imo. Though I myself prefer my elementalist :P

monks have the most fool proof farming that everyone can do for most places.
but also warriors are very close but their builds aren't as "easy" 'but using a warrior you can solo basically if not the whole of prophecies and many other places in the other campaigns.
so Monk 55 or warrior for best general farmer

I like the E/A the best.
You can farm nearly every single boss, you can solo most areas safely, and with large mobs you can wipe most of them out quickly. Only bad thing is they can't deal with one or two stragglers, but that doesn't really matter.
Also there are too many 55 monks running around, so the places that they can farm are overfarmed and thus the items dropped there are undervalued.

I suggest an elementalist main because A. they can do the Shadow Form/Sliver Armor build - it kills bosses for greens which sell for alot of money. and B. they can run terra tank or mist form builds - builds where against straight melee monsters you take no damage. But I would also suggest after going through the game on this ele creating a 55 monk to farm select areas where your elemenalist cannot.
angmar_nite
Yeah, ele's for me too.

In my opinion:
Monks are the best
closely followed by Elementalists and Ritualists.

apen zijn cool
I think it also depends on what you prefer to farm. If you wanna farm greens then you really should go for ele, farming common drops monks are very good but ele can farm some nice things aswell. It's just a matter of personal preference. But i do suggest a caster, casters are the best farmers in the game, melee chars kill alot slower.
masta_yoda
monks ares generally best but eles are good boss farmers and monks are good mob farmers
ritualist is pretty good if u do rezzdogs build

Thanks guys, pretty much decided on monk. Can farm greens, HM and NM with her.

Warrior = Not very fast but the w/rt is one of the easiest farming builds out there and can be used for a lot of spots(mostly w/rt these days)
monk = can play every 55hp build and is very flexible with duo partners (all kinds of 55hp)
elementalist = can farm almost every boss and a lot of spaces that other classes can't. (Terratanking or Shadowform)
necro = can farm a lot with 55hp but isn't as flexible as a monk
mesmer/paragons=don't have any profitable solo builds imo
ranger=can farm a few places by trapping or using the splinterbarrage build
ritualist=can farm a lot by using rt/me, the 330 hp build or the splinterbarrage build
dervish=quite good for soloing uw/fow
assasin: can farm almost every boss and uw/fow/uw2 with the shadowform build....
As ppl already said i think this order is the best:
1.Monk
2. Elementalist and Ritualist
3. Warrior and Necromancer
4. Assasin and Ranger
5. Dervish
6. Mesmer and Paragon
I hope this helped

I'm just curious where are you farming on a 55 that can make 15k+ an hour???Cause if you do certain green farm runs such as Ghial's you can make a good 30k an hour depending on how many times you get it to drop.
Edit: And i hate correct but it's now-a-days

Well heres my advice.
The best overall farmer for you would be the character than you know how to use best. Dont go for what others say, but go with whats the best you know how to use for every use.

Don't listen to this.
Look, an Ele and Monk currently are probably the best farmers. The eles can do that fancy terra tank and mist form stuff, and the 55/105/600 Monks are so versatile it's disgusting.
A ranger isn't as good at farming as an elementalist is. This is a fact. I love rangers, I truly do. But they are simply not as good.
I'd take an Ele or Monk as a farmer, but warriors are fairly decent as well. And assassins have their niche moments as well.

I find assassin to be the best, well better than my ranger and paragon anyway :P

It's not what you find best, it's which is CONSIDERED the best general farmer (ripped right from the title)
Xiaxhou of Trinity
just wanted to point out that is should have been capitalized because if considered is the stressed word then you're implying that consider is not a synonym for think; in fact, they are very much so =]
monk/ele/war
nec/mes/sin/derv
para (not very versatile)
necro does well with SS, mes with IW, but nothing clears a mob faster and safer as an invinci monk, ele, and many times a war =]
superior farming classes exist because there are factors of versatility and speed (all professions can farm UW smites but w/mes is fastest atm [yay dont feel no pain])
