If you're going solo, find a group. XP bonus is nice but clear time is much faster. Always set your difficulty to the spot where you can basically one shot everything, then hit high density areas only such as Halls 1, and do very easy/fast bounties. There are a lot of very fast bounties in small areas in Act 1 and 2 especially (avoid A3 and A5 like the plague). The bounties that require you to clear out the second level of a dungeon can be very fast if you build around mobility and are very familiar with the map. The XP bonus from these bounties make up for the extra time it takes to find them. Some people are going to tell you to do rifts because of the mob density (and they aren't wrong) but I think bounties are faster due to the bonus xp.
@Sauc3ry: Generally posting a video link with no description doesn't fly around here. If you don't want mods to remove your post, you should type up your guide here as well. We will click on your link if your information is interesting. BTW, You pronounced it "Die-ah-blow" so I can't take the rest of it seriousl ;).
@Demonmonger: Getting to adventure mode isn't that hard. Do you recall and official source on not having adventure mode open? I recall seeing that they were thinking about it, but not anything serious about doing it.

All I remember hearing is that they were disappointed with people trying to exploit adventure mode for fast levels.
That being said, 99% of these required Torment 6, so locking Torment 2 and higher until you reach 60 would be optimal in my eyes.
ATM there is no public exploit for leveling. So HoA is a way to go. Also you can add some bounties (like Cursed War Room, Tides of Battle), but they are quite rare in 2.2 with the introduction of new exploration bounties. You should not bother, just get nice setup which can blow up HoA3 on Master, and you will be 70 in 4 hours.
I'm Paragon 55 right now and managed to level to 70 in about 5 hours. Mixed A1 bounties (cherry picked Cursed and other fast/dense ones) with rifts and HoA 3 runs. Quite comfortable and fast.

Heard they may be locking adventure mode at start of season.
At the least I fully expect them to lock Torment until level 60.

they did not for season 1 nor for season 2. Why on earth would they lock adventure mode for season 3 ?
@jklimek there is a description right above the video of exactly what it entails, im not going to write every single step out
when the video is going to repeat the same stuff, and i refuse to pronounce it Dee ah blo, it will always be die ah blow,
I don't care if its some Spanish cultural pronounciation , but thats like asking me to pronounce Dice as deece
just won't do it lol
Because of all the tools trying to exploit the game for faster levels.
Seasons are meant to have a sense of integrity, not greedy exploits.

They would still just exploit story mode. There is always a way and they will always find it.
Seasons are really only about the leaderboards anyways. Not the leveling

there is no source, adventure mode will be available just likr it was every other season
if anyone else will be using this method for s3 post your times here tommorrow interested to see how fast some people get this done
last season i think i hit just after 4 hours on hardcore
I'll make a follow up post here tomorrow with my 1-70 completion time on a crusader
so if you are interested post here how fast you finished and if you did something differently
Great idea! I'll do that too with a screen of time played.
