Yeah so I made an Ele/Mo as my first char, thinking I could Nuke and keep myself up...

So I watched some video clip of a guy Mo/W, and he had 700hp+, i was like wow and he owned a bunch of mobs at once.. then there's W/Mo.. dunno bout that..

So what's the ultimate farming solo build?

a 55hp monk. personally, i think a mo/mes is best because it can take on interrupts.
i farm with a 55hp e/mo all the time, and it works great for me.
but, in general, a 55 build is the best way to take on large amounts of non-enchant removal damage.
more info on a 55monk found here: http://www.guildwarsguru.com/content...onk-id1626.php
also, as long as you have monk primary or secondary this will work, except maybe for warriors. its possoble, but not worth the time with them for 55hp

I farm with my Ele/Mo and have had no problems farming anything that doesn't strip my enchantments or interupts. I use Ensigns earth farming build.

55monk. Don't have much experience with it, but I hear its not very good beyond farming.. though, most builds can simply be tweaked for farming if you don't want to devote an entire character to it and still be pretty decent.

Though, you're lucky to have perhaps the most flexible profession selection out there, E/Mo. :P

The ultimate farming build is a tough call. There's so many variables you have to consider like interrupts, strip enchants, conditions, hexes, and so on. Spellbreaker is a crucial elite that you will need so that leaves little room for a good damage dealing spell like SS or SOJ. The E primary is nice because of Energy Storage, but an Mo/E I think is better cause you can still do nice damage, but then get the Divine Favor bonus health that will save your life. I have 3 secondaries open with my 55 so I can switch when I farm a certain area. I'd love to solo UW, but I've yet to find a build with enough damage dealing stuff to avoid NM's, interrupts, & energy drain from squids.

A 55 monk can work in pretty much the entire game too. Prot Spirit must always be up tho, and it's doubtful you will be able to fulfill your other monk duties in a group as a 55. But I've done it when I needed something like a new secondary for instance.

8hp griffon and 55hp underworld on my monk, but I found them too hard, when I need gold I usually do W/Mo troll, either that or my W/E earth build are my favs because I don't have to concentrate so hard, just click buttons as soon as they're recharged
