Basically, I get frustrated farming on my DH. Sure, it's pretty fast and I do really good damage, but I'm built very glass cannon and get 1 shot by most things. So, I'm always on edge, making sure nothing gets close to me, no stray projectile flies near me, always kiting etc. I've come to realize, this is not my playstyle and I would rather elite packs take longer to kill without having to stress over the tiniest thing swatting me dead. In short, I want to play the game, be able to farm Act III/IV Inferno and be able to actually relax and enjoy myself while doing so and glass cannon DH just isn't that.
For some quick clarification, I'm not looking for fastest farm or most efficient farm, I'm looking for actual 'easy' farm or 'stress free' farm as it were. I currently have a 60 barbarian relatively well geared, enough for Act II Inferno with ease. I have a WD and DH at 60 and I'm currently leveling a monk which I was thinking would be the pick of choice. However, I figure I'd ask the forums for their input.
I did a quick forum search and didn't see any threads on the subject so I decided to make this one. If anyone has any suggestions, can point me to some informative threads or link me some videos that shows some relatively easy Act III Inferno farming, I'd really appreciate it.

Oh pitiful shadow lost in the darkness,
Bringing torment and pain to others.
Your damned soul wallowing in your sin.
Perhaps... it is time to die.
Make a WW/Tornado barb. Nothing even come close at farming. It shouldnt cost you more then 10 million to gear (smart) to farm act 3 at relatively good speed (faster then anyone on same budget.) Get 45/50% crit with weapon master, 7000 armor with enchantress, 700 resist all with shout. Get a cheap offhand darkblade cheap with low dps but high life on hit and a socket. Good axe/msce with a socket in your mainhand and socket them green. Spec for unlimited WOTB.
While its not as 100% safe as sword and board. Its actually fast enough and safe enough to make it better. You retain the barb ability to simply ignore the packs you dont wanna waste time on (invul/shields/running shit) Run around and get the packs you wanna fight doesent matter even if theres 500 mobs chasing you, it makes it easier for you. Your damage ouput will be 10 time that of a Sword and board in simular gear. Its pretty damn mindless you just keep 2 buffs up and ww into anything until elites die (dont bother with normal mobs, hit them for life on hit).
Run/ww circle around boss and gib them in seconds with 5000 life per second coming back.
honestly, I'd say wait on the class developer blogs. they should come within the next couple of week (hopefully all next week, but who knows). A lot of classes will be getting changed up quite a bit, so whatever the easiest farm is now may not be the same after the patch.
At least that's my opinion. If you're eager to for something for right now though, then yeah, sword and board barb might be the safest way to go, shouldn't cost too much to get a decent enough set to farm without too much stress, and it's likely that it won't be affected too much by the patch.

Nerd: When you say it, you best say it with awe,
'Cause I'm the type of nerd that will bust your jaw.
With experience mostly from monk with little bit of WD thrown in, I can say that with good enough gear dualwielding monk is really stress free and relatively fast farming.
Which ever class has 200+ mil in gear. Then you can just remove any shred of skill this game might have required from the equation as its impossible for anything to kill you.

Not sure if troll or just troll.
Well the 200 mil part is right though the rest is up to debate

Not sure about that. 200mil would buy a couple amazing items, but it would be far from an elite set.

You're probably right but it's been awhile since I've even bothered to look at top tier item prices... how about if you have unlimited budget it doesn't matter what class you pick? I like this answer for these "types" of threads, stupid questions get stupid answers.

My CM wizard farms act 3 pretty damn fast, wormhole allows me to skip all trash plus it's up all the time, champs are perma-freezed and if the pack is too annoying (eg. Fat guys that run away with shielding) I just teleport past them and move on.

I doubt it would matter at that point, but I don't follow the 4-5billion+ streamers either.
But yeah, what's 'easy,' is a pretty arbitrary and subjective.

I'm pretty sure that Blizzard posts have said at least once that when we get great gear they feel we should overpower mobs and start to feel godly. So I'm not sure what your point here is, other than to troll.

Cant get more easy then that.

YMMV
Fix'd
Also very true. I guess I take my low latency for granted.
If you had a Wiz, pretty much any build that uses Energy Armor + Diamond Skin significantly drops the stress level.
