Whats a good farming combo?

Ive tried W/M (Doesent do enough damage) and R/Mesmer (Never in a million years, boring and horrible pet AI). My N/W is a good farmer, but hes my main, I need a ALT.

What do you mean by farmer? like.. an over powered char that kills enemies to fast?

Try Mo/ME w/ zeolots fire and channeling running. As you heal yourself you kill monsters. Channeling helps energy managment when surronded.

No, like a character that can deal enough damage to kill mobs at a steady rate, and the ability to fight for extended periods of time. However, the negative is their worthless for groups. Smartass.

That sounds interestin Mak, I may have to give that a shot.

maybe your build needs a revamp i can solo almost everything don't count on the base dmg to kill things count on a degen i.e. "bleeding" don't give up so easily try new things out and come up with new ideas that is what i did and i now have a warrior that can take anything that foes dish out

good luck with the farm build

pish.. W/M own.. skills like final thrust used with practice are cool

Farming builds are THE BUILDS YOU WANT a Warrior on a team to have. If you bring a farming build into a team fight, you're doing your job better than if you didn't.

Farmers have 3 duties.

Survive
Heal Self
High Damage

W/Mo does NOT do the damage you want for the sole reason that Monk is NOT damage worthy. You want to do a ton of damage to lots of enemies in seconds? Mark of Pain is your friend!

[but omg, w/n can't heal himself! he sucks!]

No, that's cause YOU SUCK. Mark of Pain lies in the skill line that reduces damage intake better than any other secondary. Curses... And the only heal you'll need is in Warrior Tactics: "Victory is Mine!" {E}

Bonetti's Defense is a default for any warrior in PvE regardless of role.

Actually, there is a huge misconception that the Warrior's job is to do damage. The Warrior's job (in a group) should be to survive. Any damage a Warrior does is a great help, but if a Warrior is doing something to cause more damage at the expense of being more vulnerable then they are not doing their job. A great tank will go and get beat on over and over again and let his team destroy the enemy from safe ground.

Anyway, my current "farming" build is with my E/Me. It's slower than some builds, but a lot of fun and a challenge at the same time. I find a group of no more than three mobs, cast Fire Storm, cast Mist Form, run in and spam Lava Font, Flame Burst and any other adjacent foe-based AoE spells, then run out and Flare them to death if anything is left. With Aura of Restoration, Conjure Flame and Fire Attunement on I don't run out of energy and I usually can stay alive long enough to kill them. Then I rest and repeat.

My W/Mo does tons of damage using smiting spells and can tank for days. Bonettis, Cyclone Axe, Healing Hands, Balthazars Aura, Vigorous Spirit, Zealots Fire, Living Vicariously, Mending.

You need Gladiators Armor for the energy to cast Balthazars Aura, bonettis's is instant fill against mobs. My axe has Vamp 3:1 with +20% longer enchant, shield is +45hp and -2 dmg while enchanted.

My usual farming attributes are something like this: 8 healing (for +3 mending), 10 smiting, 4 strength, 9 axe, 8 tactics. Sometimes, I mess around with the tactics and strength but I really like bonettis running until I can cast it again. The real damage comes from smiting, so strength isn't necessary.

This is really only for solo farming, but it works good in groups too because the monks don't have to worry about me and I'm a good target for any other smiters to put Balths Aura on.
