You can pretty much do the 55 SV and N/Mo boss farmers with your 55 Monk. 130 Derv has limited application, so i'd go with the 330 Rit.

I'd agree. Rts usable in many places. however, the 130 derv is good for greens for heros or yourself if you want em....

also, the rit is the best looking of all 4.

Try the E/A and E/Me. E/A can farm pretty much all of the bosses and E/Me has some great mob farming places.

Actually, i agree with this. The 55, SV, N/Mo, 130 D, 330 Rt all pretty much do the same thing with the same underlying build. Give the E/A or A/E a bash if you're after something a little different.

It's a core class so it's not like he couldn't make one. If he's willing to try Monk, Necro, Derv or Rit, then Ele is an option perhaps he hadn't considered

I'd disagree. if you're farming with VwK then they should both be pretty safe. sure, the 55 is safer if you have no lag and remember to keep prot spirit up... if you can't, then the 330 is the one for you.

Is boss farming realy profitable? Personally I like farming with a 55 build on necro more fun then on monk, but that's just my opinion I guess. An ele can be a good farmer but harder to learn then 55 farming ...

yeah but your opinion is usually wrong. 330 is the more laid back and enjoyable farm.

105 rit is safer, but slower... I've came up with a 105 rit build as soon as HM arrived, and I used it for about 7 months before I made 330hp. So it is definately not faster, since you don't get extra damage from Retribution, RoD, or spells like Pain Inverter. And the advantages of using Spirit Bond is that it can handle any amount of degen, has quick castin to help against the usual interrupts, and quick recharge... so that one skill can replace 2-3 skills that would be needed with 105hp, which also frees up alot of space for extra skills. 105hp also don't gain as much energy while using Essence Bond, due to takin 0 damage with the occasional Shielding Hands, but it still works of course. 330hp is alil more difficult, but only because you need to learn how to use Spirit Bond, which is pretty easy to use and has alot more advantages for farming. Especially being able to farm places that life steal, and that have minor interrupts... along with being able to kill bosses at the same time. 330hp is the only way to go with a Ritualist

And 55 Rt/Mo is kind of pointless if you use VwK with it, as holding items will put your health back up to 105hp anyways... so would be best to use a staff, or wand/offhand instead of caster weapon/grim cesta. You will be more energy along with useful mods/inscriptions.

E...

Terra Tank, Obsi Flesh, Renewal Slivers.... so many choices.

If I were to make 1 character just for farming, it would have to be ele, even over monk.

Rit, basically VwK + [insert aditional damage skills] + [insert defensive stance of enchantment] Just need to cap 1 key skill, or use faction to buy it.
