I always have wondered "which is the best class for farming?" and now I want to hear your opinion. Tell me!

the same exact pointless counterproductive discussion has been had in literally thousands of other threads, but before a bunch of other people tell you the same thing, just thought i'd enunciate how critically important making money in pve is.

The problem is there is no 'best' farming class. Because everyone will likely answer this the same way. And that is to say "It depends on what you are farming".

A/E has a great survival ability in that not much can get to it. Good for large aggro to make sliver armor work well. But that said, the W/N build for raptors is faster (does that mean better?)
A/Me is like the above with the mesmer degen killing. Seems to work better than A/E in a lot of places, and in some places it is a must.

Mo/Me still has a lot of places to farm (undead, etc) in both 55 mode and 600 mode. 600 (with smite or ranger support) can kill damn near everything I think. My primary is a monk and I have used the 600 build to kill things in nearly every region of the game. Even the 105 for Naphui works will. For Naphui, which I used to farm regularly, my 105 monk was better than A/E is for speed and all I could kill.
I have been considering trying the 105 Mo/D to see if it is faster there.

Anything/mo for 55 and 600 like above.

The 330 Rit is great for some areas in factions that aren't hex heavy.

My personal favorite at the moment is NM solo of UW with spirits. It's slow, but it's the build I run in PVE so no bar or equipment changes required.

I wouldn't really say there is a best build, but I would think the A/E and 600 Mo/Me are the most popular.

Not sure if this helps.

Don't ask for "what is the best _____", it's in the Forum Guidelines.
