None. There is not a single prof that can solo farm the entire FOW. Some builds can farm some parts however. Chaos axe mainly drops from undead. To my knowlidge there is not a single build for solo farming the undead. Shutdown, energy drain and good healing coppeld with heavy melee damage = certain death!

If its only the chaos axe your intrested in, your better off joining chestrun teams. The chance of dropping a gold chaos axe is lager and faster!

i don't think he cares about farming the entire FoW, just the Chaos Axe-ful places. a ton of profs can farm the FoW, as mentioned by blur. if you're going solely for Chaos Axes, i think you're best off using something like Witte's W/Rt located here.

i've tried that when playing on a friend's account, and it's foolproof and pretty quick.

if you want to do HM, try dualing it with a friend or hero, 600/Smite style. drops are great, and the Battlefield is amazingly easy. Spider Cave is a bit rough, though.

Witte's build works great, even if it is an year old, I've tested it 2 days ago.

PS : FOW might prove a big challenge in the beginning, just keep trying.

All the professions can solo in FoW to some degree. Adding to blur's list, Dopefish made a mesmer build, and remmeh made a ranger build. Sins can shadowform.

E/Mo or E/Me Terra Tank with perma Obsidian Flesh?
Just dont aggro the rangers. Otherwise, any of those builds can kill most of the undead.

i always found the easiest ways to get chaos axes was from the FOW chests, so chest runs are nice but pricey.

but if you dont wanna do that, id simply search for a FOW farming build.

If you flag him behind where you spawn (Where you'd be if you just held S after you spawned) usually he won't get attacked...Use the hero flag rather than the group flag, because they'll move less then.
