I want to start doing T1 just for a little bit of a challenge, Normal is so boring and I get shit for drops but... T1 just seems to take so long. I can't kill anything effectively. I don't really die but my damage seems really low. I just rerolled the + CB on helm but I don't think that'll make much of a difference. Anyone have any ideas?
Also what sort of build should I be looking at? Currently using a Grenadier LfB build.
well then try master, its offers a great balance between easier mobs and better loot/xp but not quite as hard/long as torment.
Also try boosting your paragon levels, this will help you overall, as you can fill in holes in your gear that is lacking, such as attack speed (the big one) crit damage and crit chance. Run speed is probably your best bet for getting around faster, always a good thing. For defense i always max out resist all, to help with any nasty elemental damage that elites throw at me.
Normal may seem easy and it is, but it surely isn't bad at all for loot, i have been farming on normal for hours today on my wizard and have found many upgrades, even legendaries. The key is to find areas you feel comfortable on farming and just get to it, go out and kill stuff. Also its best to do adventure mode, do bounties. Clear all 5 acts of bounties, open the caches, use your blood shards, even do rifts, they are still really awesome even on normal, and you can clear them faster.
There are a few areas on normal that can help you out, such as "Rumford at the gate" run, which is start Rumford at the gate quest, clear through everything, and all dungeons, to the wretched mother, drop her, and then if you want port out, leave game and repeat or continue on to do Dalton in the cave with leia, offers some loot chances there, then repeat.
Also clearing the Keep Depths floor 2 (or all 3 if u want, but 2 i guess is best) and clearing core of arreat too, those are good areas to clear for fast gear and xp, even on normal.
But try master, do some farming runs, you will have gear fast, just have to put in the time and effort, T1 isnt going anywhere, play and have fun

I should specify that I want to be able to do it efficiently, I want to start getting my set pieces.

Read this awesome thread, great dps output from it. Your damage isn't that low, I was clearing T1 with 200k the night of launch.
