Ok here goes. Been thinking of this real long. Which actually flair best in farming for items.
Putting them as all equal at lvl 66,
Rogue - high dodge, aoe
Disciple - high carry weight, higher atk compared to Rogue (am i right? >.>), aoe, self heal
Squire - high def, high atk, aoe but slow (Reflection only)
Which is better and what do u think?
p/s i put in General Discussion for not putting in only one topic for less bias result (Squire, Disciple and Rogue topics i mean)
Thanks in advance for everything! Hope for reply XD

I assume you are aoeing for higher level items. Basically it boils down to the rogue will kill faster at that level. If your gear is same ap and same enhancement, the rogue and disciple will be about the same in defense. The disciple and the squire however can carry a lot more pots and hold a lot more drops. Basically they all make good farmers, it boils down to what you want to play. I love to play both my rogue and my disciple. I would probably go with rogue or disciple just because reflection is so slow and you stated level 66 so it outweighs the long spell a squire can spend aoeing for ssf.

I should say Squire, even if they kill slowly with Reflection, they have the best def to farm in the maps for quest drops and Mine farming as well. Also Reflection, you learn it at level 51, which give a advantage that the two other class don't have.

Well, disciples mob lock much worse than rogues. As far as knights go, I had never seen that class mob lock until the new maps. There are a couple of tricks with the disciple. First only pull half a map, that helps. Also watch out for hard hitters in your mob, disciples seem to get skill interupted worse than roques too. Then take a couple of steps after every third cast of chainblock. That seems to be the big thing. I haven't had a lot of trouble, only locked up bad twice and both times I had taken most of a map. I have had a few little locks, but the walking trick unlocked me. Adding a binder helps some too, I can usually do a whole map with a binder.

I think the answer to your question depends on what items you want to farm. If you are farming for SSF, I would actually suggest an apprentice. At lvl 66, half the mobs on lvl one of the mines already run, and SSF drop rate is quite poor. Apps get the earliest real AOE skill, lightening: so if you make a lvl 62 app with +5/6ap gears, cape, and cowbell, you will have more than enough def to mob the mines for SSF. Kills will be much faster than squires with reflection, and drop rate will be better than either lvl 66 rogue or disciple.
If you want to farm polluted souls or cobalt cave quest drops, I would suggest a rogue instead of a disciple. I've farmed with both classes, and I prefer the rogue, by far. The low weight capacity means you would have to repot often, but killing fast and rp'ing every 15 minutes is, in my opinion, much better than being able to hold 250 pots but spending 5 minutes or more killing because of mob lock.

Kremie is right on those points. I farmed the mines for ssf a lot with all app, rogue, and disciple. The app can start farming early and kills really fast. Unfortunately by the time he had the defense for cobalt he was too high a level. I ended up frosting mobs for a rogue friend and helping gather. As far as cobalt goes, the slower kill on the disciple does make it tedious, the rogue was faster and much easier. It stinks that we can't get the other ordeal quest for the disciple, so those items won't auto drop either.
