fastest class to clear mobs

Granted, I might be a little biased, but I'd say demon hunter.

Constant Vault (with rune that reduces cost when you chain vaults) + Tactical Advantage Passive (60% movement speed bonus) allows you to run everywhere crazy fast. Sure, it has restrictions with discipline but with the proper passives for disc regen (Vengeance, Nightstalker, Perfectionist pick your favorite 2 for me it's Veangance and Perfectionist) and Preparation you can run around killing quite quickly.

Clear large areas with ball lightning and you're good to go...

I too am curious as what 'speed-clearing' builds are out there. I have all classes at 60, just been twinking them out with the terrible legendaries I find on my Monk. Working on my last class to beat inferno (WD) and have been irritated at how slow it is sometimes at a mere 24% movement speed as I don't kill fast enough to jaunt around all the time.

My guesses as to high movement speed builds:
Wizard - variable 25 + 25 (scramble) = 50% move speed - uptime dependant on getting hit. +Quad-Wormhole teleport w/ Illusionist.
Monk - constant 25 + 10 (Fleet) + 25 (Tailwind) = 60% move speed - uptime dependant on spirit regen gear vs attack speed. +Dashing Strike.
Barb - variable 25 + 40 (sprint) + 20 (wotb) = 85% move speed - uptime dependant on mob density/hp & crit. +Leap
Demon Hunter - variable 25 + 60 (tactical) = 85% move speed - uptime dependant on disc/crit/nats/regen. +Tumbling.
Witch Doctor - variable 25 + 50 (jaunt) + 20 (Stalker) = 95% move speed - uptime dependant on mob density & pickup radius.

So Wiz can port across the map with wormhole, but sputter down to 25% until they get hit, Monks can have 100% uptime of 60% but can dashing strike across the map. Barbs, DH, and WD are limited by the mob density to regen their resources thru crit/kills/etc. I haven't played wiz in a while so don't really know how archon can move fast. All of these builds are assuming enough dps to one shot stuff so kill speed should be equalish.

Yeah, if you're one shotting mobs barbs should be using marathon, you can pretty much perma keep it up and another plus to barbs is with whirlwind you don't even have to stop to kill mobs, you just mow right through them.

I have both barb and dh. Op if you don't care for the resource regeneration with barb and you want to move/kill quickly I can tell you don't roll dh. With vault/tactical you have to use an active and passive skill, its only 2s and you will constantly be out of disclipine compared to a barb's fury. You have to stop to shoot, a huge minus unless you use strafe and again you'll run out of hatred a lot faster than you'll run out of fury.

If you're having disc problems with your demon hunter you're not doing it right. I only have like 42 disc, and I can spam vault when doing alk runs no problem. And tbh, alk runs are like the only runs worth doing if you want optimal exp and loot per hour farming.
