Question: Best Class for Heavy Pull Gold Farming

[Rockcrawler]

I've currently run the following and here is the rank in GPH. All toons are equally geared.

1 being the highest performing and 2 being lower. The rest are ranked as 2 because the GPH is very close.

Please refrain from asking where I bot and what my GPH is. These are not relevant.

1) Paladin - Retribution
2) Mage - Frost
2) Shaman - Elemental
2) Warlock - Destruction

I think the GPH would be higher if the CR for the casters opened up with AOE; however, AOE isn't always the first spell cast.

Any suggestions on what is the best class to roll for maxing GPH. I was leaning towards a fury warrior with bladestorm. I was also considering a DK.

Thanks for the input in advance.

I would guess beast master if damage sustained is not very high and mobs density is high. But that would be just guessing

Monk is number 1 for gold farmer.

i'd say it all depends on what you're farming.

Druids = Gatherers
Hunters = World Trash Farmers (non-dungeons)
Monks/F-Druids = Dungeons


Druids are the best gatheres because of flight form. they don't have to shift out to gather herbs, and it's an instant cast.
Hunters are the best for World Trash because of Spirit Bond and the fact that their pet can tank. plus their AoE is decent.
Monks for dungeons because they can convert Spinning Crane Kick into a passive AoE and they can heal.
F-Druids for dungeons because they have tons of speed buffs, which greatly increases survivability and reduces run-times.



most combat routines simply look for "if there's less than 3 mobs, single attack"
you can easily go into that and change the 3 to 0, that way the AoE routine is always used.

ex: for ele shaman -

Spell.UseAOE && Unit.UnfriendlyUnitsNearTarget(10f).Count() >= 3 && !Unit.UnfriendlyUnitsNearTarget(10f).Any(u => u.IsCrowdControlled()),

where it says >= 3, you would change that to >= 0

DKs and Pallys get my vote. Can put them just about anywhere and they'll get the job done smoothly.
