Default Pre-searing farming

I'm thinking about making a perma pre char, and i'm wondering, which class is best for farming the charr and the charr bosses beyond the wall solo?

Why make a Perma Pre character for Farming if you cant get acces to your storage vault to transfer money? And, as things in Pre dont cost that very much, why bother farming there at all? Just do the quests and the money will follow? Right?

Yeah I heard, but What is the point for having 100 black dyes on a perma-pre character?

I'd say Mesmer/Elementalist or something like that. [skill=text]Empathy[/skill] and [skill=text]Backfire[/skill] own, and I'd think [skill=text]Fire Storm[/skill] is worth it. Can't go wrong with fast casting either. Even if you don't go /E, you still get the leet [skill=text]Conjure Phantasm[/skill].

well m8 the secret is to have 2 accounts or a preson u can trust to make a pre chart trade your dies to the other 1 then it leaves pre and trades them to a post char with storage also u can farm booze in pre and keep your farmer their while u keep moving the other stuff on on another accont

I happen to find a lot of my dyes in the catacombs, and by killing blood sworn on a farming path just outside fort ranik. Otherwise, if your not looking specifically for dyes, you could always farm charr, just make a mesmer and its a cake walk.

I Farm The catacombs with my W/M lev.9 for Dyes (Love the undead they are so giving).
Just get the collector's armor set and you will be just fine,as far as storage I have two Charr bags
they let you hold 10 items each.You can farm them off the charr or buy them in town for about
3k to 4k each.

I've found ele(/r) quicker. By level ~10 with a minor fire even luring becomes totally optional, you can just drop a firestorm and flarespam, slaughtering bosses faster than the monk can heal them with infuse. Perma pres I've tested are me/r, w/r, e/r, r/w.

Outside of Ranik you can get large pulls of skales and nuke them all at once from behind a pillar. You'll need to be a reasonable level to survive long enough to pull though.

Boss runs with a partner of second account give you a chance at the big one, with the possibility of getting something like an 11-16 14^50 purple sword.

Buy low sell high is probably the best idea in pre, as everywhere else, for making money.

I've never used it... but some of my guildies use Mo/x and farm dyes in the Catacombs. They use Retribution... which actually does double the dmg because their undead. I assume Mo/Me with Retribution, Empathy, Backfire and Conjure Pantasm would pwn in the Catacombs.
