I got all my MF gear and i started farming events. My question is about weapons/utilities i should use to farm. I feel like my current set up isn’t really effective.
So i want your suggestions about the best weapons/utilities to farm effectively!

Barrage for tagging lots of mobs. Same with traps. Axe off hand is also good.
Take the traps trait so you can throw them, use 3 traps that do damage in your skills bar, longbow for barrage and shortbow for tagging mobs fast with autoattack and piercing arrows trait, this is what i mostly used to do and works just fine…it’s not the best class for that, but it’s pretty decent.
Axe is pretty much useless, slow attack speed and by the time you throw it twice mobs are usually dead, shortbow is much better for mobs tagging and piercing arrows trait do wonders.
What i mostly do is throw traps and use shortbow for tagging, then use barrage when traps are on cooldown and switch to shortbow fast to keep tagging mobs. If you waste traps + barrage on events that spawn waves of mobs fast you will find yourself with no AoE for the next wave…so, first wave traps + shortbow, second wave barrage+ shortbow, third wave traps (at least fire trap will be recharged by then) and shortbow, or just shortbow tagging if traps are not ready yet.
Axe/Torch is a very decent AoE set for tagging mobs, especially when you pair it with traps and survival skills like Entangle. It does require you to get in close, but it’s worth it in most cases.
As sleepy said but i go long bow + GS for zerg event farming, or long bow + sword torch if theres not much competition to get the big hit in. I will go into detail if you need but the above is a winner for me.
Event farming with a Ranger is pretty easy and if played well you get more loot drops than any other class. Since most events have two spawning points of mobs I always place two traps for one spawning area and safe my Barrage for the other spawning point. This way I tag both areas and get the max amount of drops.
I switch to short bow as often as possible for the quicker attack and you can’t go wrong with Piercing Arrows.
Axe/ torch with traps work very well in medium sized group farming. For the big zergs in Orr, you should try having a LB to switch to for barrage, since mobs die so fast there is no time for you to throw traps.
