**edit** Can't change title. It's really good XP but nothing profound after all.
WEEPING HOLLOW
The wretched things barf up more zombies and the grotesques explode into more mobs and there are tons of trash in Weeping.
Solo as Barb: goto cemetary WP and run to Weeping Hollow and gather up aggro which is a LOT then aoe them down with boulder toss, rend chain explosion, WW or whatever floats your boat.
With a group:bring a pull monk (cyclone?) and do the same thing with the whole party running gathering aggro. Cyclone the mobs into a big group and chain aoe them.
If you don't have a pull monk, and you bring other clan members, it'll get out of hand because the trash will scatter, chasing everybody. It's either solo or bring a monk. (unless another method of cc exists I am unaware of)
You can do this flawlessly if you avoid elites (granted your party cannot down elite T6 without taking too much time which is a waste). Just avoid elites and if you get pulled into a fight with one or more, use the trash youre gathering to blow them up then carry onto the next group of trash, kiting the elite and repeating. This might result in some squishy party member deaths but if it gets out of control, just have 1 player kite them to a safe location on map and leave them there and head back as a group to take out the trash in the rest of the area.
NOTE: This might be old news but I don't see anybody talking about it much if at all. Maybe XP is worth more in COTA, I dunno but I get LOADS of XP even at Paragon 223 when I solo this or with clannies.
Also note. I am a barb that can solo T6 (with utility ammy and shield in bag) so I can rend/battlerage/WW MASSIVE chain explosions when soloing because all aggro is on only ME and the more trash around me the bigger the explosion.
With a pull monk, it is an absolute beating for mobs. The explosions are hilarious and the XP is massive. I was thinking up uploading some videos demonstrating this both solo as barb and with clan.
**Another note** I say solo as Barb because I am a Barb and can't speak for other classes so you might very well be able to solo this using this method as another class like WD or DH, I dunno.
Whenever I grind XP on T6, I solo Weeping Hollow or bring a pull monk.
there is another method of CC, you need a WD. have him use wall of zombies, and rune i think is called wreaking crew, well it's the one that taunts enemies. it will gather a group just as good, if not better, than the area of a monks ability. its great, they all pile up into the center of the wall of zombies and try to hit it, but they can't kill the wall. and it lasts for maybe 3 secs? not really sure on the time, but its long enough to burn em down easily.
Sounds devastating for those poor zombies, AxeHammer510.
I'm gonna make a video of a solo job and actually count the XP but runs vary depending on how things go. I know for sure I was cracking off a billion an hour easy the other night, solo.
We use to do these runs before we started doing cota and cota is just better.
I shall take your word for it as I get a little excited sometimes. Come to think of it, the same could be done in many other places in the game where there is density/swarming. Suppose I ventured into Weeping and never left lol.
But no Hallows is very good. I use to do Cath 4 but we found Hallows was better than that. Its' just very hard to beat Cota right now but they are dreadfully boring short runs.
I like weeping hollows also. It is nice to start with mira and make a run all the way through to the festering woods. Good xp and not as boring as doing 1 section over and over.
Yea, and it all fairness, it can yield some crazy big trash packs. Although as I said earlier, XP is good in many places. For example, I solo'd keeps on T6 last night after I posted this thread and the XP was really good too.
I am wondering now if my assessment of "1 Billion an hour, easy" was correct. Weeping goes really well when you get lots and lots of trash to explode.
Anyway, I didn't get flamed so I made it out of this thread alive!!

Try it.
