The Wizard class is well known for being able to dish out some serious damage.  With this farming build you will not only be able to manage high bursts of damage but maintain a steady amount of damage group after group.  By combining bursts when you need them and steady damage the rest of the time you should be able to farm nearly nonstop and in most situations without a problem.

Farming Strategy

Turn on your Energy Armor. Start the battle by sending out fire bolts using Shock Pulse. Try to get all your enemies to surround you before you lay down major damage.  When they are close use Wave of Force to blast them back.

Continue to hit them with fire bolts until they get close again, now lock them down with Frost Nova and hit them with Meteor.  Teleport out of range of them and restart the process all over again. Continue doing the same thing until everyone is dead.

This low cost skill rotation should leave you with more than enough Arcane Power to keep dealing with group after group.  With the Astral Presence passive along with the reduced cost of Meteor energy shouldn’t be an issue.  On top of having staying power you should have enough excess

DIABLO 3 WITCH DOCTOR FARMING GUIDE

So you’ve been playing Diablo 3 for a little while and you want to learn how to turn that Witchdoctor into a farming machine.  Despite what some people say, Witchdoctor’s do have the potential to be very efficient farmers.  You just have to know how to approach the problem effectively.

With a Witchdoctor you have two play style options available to you.  You can either hide behind a cluster of pets flinging damaging spells on top of your enemies, and fight longer more consistent battles, or you can crush everything in a few seconds and wait around for your mana to come back.

Since Witchdoctors don’t have many abilities to regain their mana after it is lost, a pet heavy build is much more effective for long term farming.  While you won’t have as great of an ability to generate high burst damage, you shouldn’t ever have a problem with running out of mana either.

The Farming Strategy

Before you even think about fighting anyone you need to be prepared.  Summon all of your Zombie dogs and your Gargantuan.  Have all of your pets

Monks make excellent farmers in Diablo, but you have to approach farming differently than you would with a Barbarian.  Monks aren’t as heavily armored as Barbarians but they can dish out a huge amount of burst damage.

The best approach to farming is to move around the battlefield very quickly, dealing huge bursts of damage in every location.  This way you don’t become overwhelmed by the enemies and you still burn them all down quickly.

This farming build is pretty skill intensive if you are facing enemies near your level, so it is important to get used to the techniques on weaker enemies before attempting a stronger group.

Farming Strategy

Use Mantra of Conviction before attacking anyone.  Start your attack by hitting the enemies around you with Crippling Wave.  Continue using Crippling Wave until you start to

Demon Hunters can be very effective farmers when played properly.  In order to get the most possible loot from your Demon Hunter you have to plan out your farming area so that you constantly have enemies to fight.  On top of that you also have to be able to take out large groups of enemies quickly.  This means you have to slow down your enemies and hit them with powerful AOE attacks to kill them before they have a chance to get in range.

Demon Hunters also have a small edge over most of the other classes when it comes to farming with their Ferret Pet. By getting the Ferret Companion skill rune for Companion you won’t have to worry about picking up gold, and you will have more of it coming in constantly.

The Strategy

Summon your ferret companions and lay down six spike traps in a location your enemies will cross over.  At the beginning of the fight begin pulling in your enemies with Entangling Shot.  The upgraded skill rune will

The Barbarian is one of the most powerful melee classes in the game.  Not only does he have the ability to deliver devastating damage to a group of enemies, but he also has treasure find boosting abilities that make him one of the best candidates for farming.  A combination of that area of effect damaging power grouped with those farming abilities will make gathering up rare items and gold effortless.  The following build takes advantage of all of the farming friendly features of the Barbarian.

Mobile Farming

A barbarian farmer has to be able to move around the map quickly without getting stopped by groups of enemies that aren’t worthwhile.  On top of that he has to be able to cut down a large group of enemies as fast as possible.  In order for a Barbarian farming build to be efficient he needs a set of movement enhancing abilities as well as some serious group damage dealers, and that is exactly what this build has.

Farming abilities

It’s vital that your Barbarian has and uses both Hammer of the Ancients and Threatening Shout often.  With Hammer of the Ancients and the
