Default UW Farming: which char?

After looking at this thread: http://www.guildwarsguru.com/forum/s...php?t=10215955

.. I'm pretty disappointed with the money i make compared to others

I'm guessing solo UW would be the best way to earn money (i prefer not doing time consuming runs, such as tombs) but not sure which char to make to fuel my derv's spending spree..

Monk?
Necro?
Ele?
War?
Rit?

Please post your suggestions on the char that can do this easiest / quickest; note this char will be solely for farming UW.

I'd say Rit.

Rt/W is one of the fastest ways of doing a smite run.
And if that wasn't enough, you can also do UW in HM with 330hp Spirit Bond VwK.

And as an extra; in factions it is really easy to get to lvl20, do the attribute quests and get ascended.

Both Rt/W and the Rt/Mo are great farming builds. just make a Ritualist, try both builds to see which one is more profitable.

Rit/W
W/Rt
W/Me

Hi guys im new to this forum (as a member but im always looking at ur builds) but i think personnaly, although i use W/Rt its very very very slow, the fasted build ive used so far is E/Me its hell fast, and also W/Rt seems to be very unlucky when it comes to ecto dropping, and E/Me seems to be very good when it comes to ecto dropping, so i recommend E/Me terra tank if u wanna no the fasted UW soloer

In that farming poll thread people are just bullshitting, there's no real way they make that much money that fast. I've farmed most of those places and never gotten anywhere near that much.

UW mainly, you're not going to make 20K+ in one run average. FoW I know you can make 30k+ because that's less then average, it's a huge run.

It's a whole lot easier to just power merchant, and less time consuming (if you know the right people)

I only really farm anymore when I'm looking for a skin.

The Avatar of Balthazar PvX build is surprisingly easy and fast. I can complete full smite runs in 23 mins, which is not as fast as those 10 min runs you can make with an ele, rit, or warrior, but heh, it's fun to have a go at those little suckers with a Dervish.

Of course power merching means you'll have to deal with people.

AoB sucks. My derv can do a smite run in 10mins with zealous vow, but neither of those builds can clear out aataxes / coldfires, and running to the smites + fighting around coldfire patrols just makes it harder than it needs to be.

You shouldn't be soloing the Coldfires in the first place because their drops are terrible and they don't drop Globs of Ectoplasm in the first place.

There actually are quite a number of builds that have the ability to solo the Aatxes (along with the Smite Crawlers of course) also. Just name a few, the 330HP Ritualist (Hard Mode), W/E Full UW Solo Run, Fuzzy Taco's 55HP build and probably a lot more that either hasn't been posted or I haven't fished out.

I use a basic M/Ne with SS/IP - curses is 12 (instead of 16) i add more to healing - a little slower but still does the trick...aataxes are easy prey - just have to flush out the nightmares as you go...i switch to a staff and 105hp and do a little sniffing for those pesky nm's before i pull aataxes
