Which profession has ALWAYS had a stable farming build no matter what the "meta" was?

I'm thinking Monk (55, 600), Rit (330, 600), or Sin (SF).

Any input?

Monk, and warrior. Are the only ones who have ever ALWAYS had a stable farming build.

Yeah that's true. But if you consider each profession individually (only including the time in which they have been present in GW) you could say the 330 rit and assassin death blossom farming builds have pretty much remained consistent. They haven't suffered from any major nerfs or buffs since their conception at the start of GW:factions.

This statement is true, but, the monk and warrior builds are generally more applicable in more situations.

Monk from the time of only prophecies up to now. If ur going by duration, war would come in second, followed prolly by the more recent perma sin.

Warrior for farming.
Monk for clearing.
Sin for running.

The OF/sliver ele is also pretty stable as well

Don't forget the 55/SV necro for boss farming. With the AoE issues the 55/SS solo isn't really that viable for farming large groups.

id say monk first, then ele second, then warrior, while sins are good at the moment, if shadow form gets hit, sins will go back to being about as useful as a RED ENGINE GORED ENGINE GORED ENGINE GORED ENGINE GO flavoured lollipop

Sin id disagree - sf nerf in last 2 yrs switched the sins ability to farm .
Monk id say is top - they nerfed mystic regen which was used on many 55 builds and we only changed bk to old style variation by adding healing breeze so the monks build hardly changed and far as im aware last 2 yrs both builds have been constant.

I would say some variant of a 55 either a monk or a Necro. Monk is probably a little better because you are open to more secondary professions but the Necro is still viable.
