What profession can farm the most bosses, mobs, etc. I'm thinking monk or elementalist.

atm the A/E is the best because of the Shadow Form which in combination with 2 other recharge time skills u can make an infinite shadow form sin...and with some fire or earth spells...here is the all-known build.

Like the previous poster said, Assassins for Perma-Shadow Form, or you could try Monk/Ritualist for 600/Smite or another farming build they possess.

I knew about perma sin for awhile, but I thought it was mostly dead because of the 50% less damage.

There's a build floating around using the normal Perma-SF stuff, with Frigid Armor and Burning Speed (degen isn't affected by the 50% damage decrease) which works pretty well.

I heard using degen before and I thought wait you can't go A/N and still use permasin. It looks interesting though.

Like the other guy said you don't go A/N you go A/E and use frigid armor with burning speed. It actually works really well.

Tbh farming planes isn't worth it anymore. Effciency has been cut by half and theres farms that are quite more profitable.

That's debatable. There is a HM version of the farm that uses a A/Me currently floating around. Raptor farming seems to be profitable, at least before the end of the Wintersday. Of course, I may go back to the UW to farm ectos again.

Its not the build nerf that does the real damage to the run its the fact that they replaced half of the riders.

I would have to say it's a tie between elementalist and monk.

Assassins are pretty much done after ArenaNet nerfed Shadow Form.
Ritualists can pretty much only use Ursan/VwK to farm.
Paragons can't farm for crap. If they can, they don't do it very well.
Dervishes farm as good as the paragon.

yesterday i did two whole hm dungeons... ooze pit and kathandrax with my 600hp monk.

seriusly you can farm 90% of the whole gw world with a customized 600hp build.

there are very less places you can not do this.
and if your dmg in 5% of 10% is not enough to kill the groups (monks have too much mana) you still can add 6 heroes to do the rest.

5% you cant kill are foes using daze against you or some ench removal while not beeing hex or spell (attack) like this assassin elite dual attack. but even theire u can avoid using mana drain for example ^^.
