Which is the more versatile farmer?

even though you're such a k00l nonconformist, that's a pretty bad selection you got there. rit has 3 farming builds and mesmer has like... 1 or 2.

go get em' champ. It's not because I'm "nonconformist", it's just that I'm not fussed for many other classes. I already have a successful Necro and Warrior, Rangers don't overly excite me, neither do primary Monks. Elementors seem alright, but I imagine a lot of their farming builds can be run with a X/E. Nightfall is a horribly grindy campaign to start on and neither native class appeals that much to me. Sins seem like a one-trick pony for the most part and perma-SF doesn't excite me at all.

I mean, hell, if you're gonna spend endless hours farming you might as well do it on a class that you enjoy. Plus I know at least *some* farming builds exist for these classes.

Edit: I'll wait this out a bit longer just in case, but Ritualist does seem the best option at the moment.

I was not aware mesmer could farm anythign useful, Rits have several options, go rit. DoA. Energy Surge is big AoE armour ignoring damage.
Mesmers also have a decent raptor farm. However, that is about it.

Rits have more options, but if you really want a farming class, a monk is your best option. Perma-sins are used in alot of places, but it is just variants of one build, at least with a monk you can 55, 600, smite, PnH, UA, Bond and probably a few more. Its not really worth gimping yourself with a less vaible farming class when you are aiming to create a farming character. But them again, its not worth playing a character you dont enjoy, youll probably never play it.

Nethier. Go get a monk and 55. ROFL 55 sucks sooooo bad compared to 600

I'd say Rit is your best bet...although they're both pretty terrible farming characters. Check a few posts below this one my spiritwall build seems to have very few limits as far as Rt farming goes.
