Short answer: a Tanker.

 

Longer answer: look here -

 

Depending on what form of farming you're after (Active or Passive) a Brute isn't too far off. But only a few Brute setups can actually survive Passive Farming on +4x8 nowadays without making large build concessions (in terms of trading damage output for survivability)... it's basically a shortlist of one secondary: non-Granite /Stone.

I haven't tested it...I only have one Tanker, BUT wouldn't a Brute do better on farms that have EBs?

 

I only active farm S/L maps and use my Rad/Fire/Fire Brute, and I just ST-punch on the EBs while AOEing the rest, and I clear fairly quickly.

Assuming you're constantly keeping a sufficiently high number of critters around you it really doesn't matter what rank those critters are.
Hitting 5/10/16 mobs with an AoE is always going to work out faster than punching them down one by one.

Perhaps if you're OCD about completely finishing off each spawn before leaping/combatTP-ing into the next one (or five)...?

I tend to meteor farm; where mob density is best described as "stratospheric"... 😜
