Default Best class for Speed Clears

Before I start, I have searched many threads in relation to this, looked at PvX and the other wikis, and have found some information, but I want to get the GWG community's opinion on the matter.

Obviously, Perma Sins are very necessary for SCing, but I have a deep hatred of playing one, so I'm looking for an alternative.

Essentially, I'm wondering what class would be best for getting into speed clears/group farming? I'm not looking for a build, as I'm competent enough to find those, I just am looking for a class to make to farm.

Thanks for all of the help.

I'm looking at Ritualist, but I'm wondering if I'm overlooking something.

Monk.

And I'm sure you'll come back to ask us the same stupid question in three or four weeks after the skill balance wrecks stuff.

Monk. You can 600/smite dungeons and other areas and run bonder/healer builds for Tank n spank clears.
Necromancer is another good choice as many physway clears use them as callers and they play a major role with damage in builds such as FoCway.

Monks, eles and necros. Sins are a big part of current speed clears but its also pretty much the most important role and people wont have the patience to wait for you to learn.

600/Smite with a Rit as the tank is pretty awesome, in my opinion.

There will be no such thing as SpeedClears in the next update. None of the (whoever balances the game) likes having a 20 minutes SC.

So, you could go Sin (Which is the BEST) or you could play Monk and ALWAYS have some sort of a farm no matter what.
