So, we all know the patch has hit, and it's changed the mob density for acts 1,2 and 4, and seriously nerfed the experience gains in certain areas, therefore seriously changing the way in which lower dps people can farm paragon levels.
I've been trying to do some research in the last few hours to work out what the most effective method of farming exp is at LOW MP levels. It's apparent that the current best area to farm at MP10 is the Shadow Realm, however, at MP1 or 2 is this still the case?
Previously I've been running the old Act 3 route of Core->TotD1->AC2->Bridge->KD2 but with the changes to density, I'm assuming this route is nowhere near the best to do for low dps people like myself.
One would assume if its the best area for MP10 it should be good for lower MPs. Personally I can wait to be able to run high Mps on any Act and get the mob density of Act 3.

That is most certainly not correct!
MP10 Areas are good because you kill only low lvl creatures like shadows/spiders they die easy. You skip everything else.
On lower MP it is more worth it to kill elites, Bonus XP from NV.
Those are 2 completely different play styles and thus areas played are the different.
To answer OP question. If you can play MP2-3 ACT 3 then you can for sure play MP6-7 ACT2 so shadow realm, it should be still your best option, but you have to test that on your own, if it is too difficult and you are duying a lot, try to change MP, play with it a bit. NOTE: XP gain vary from class. Barbs are the best for shadow, monks are also good. XP gain will also vary from build to build.

Thats kinda my point. In higher MPs people will skip elites and just kill white trash. But on lower MPs you run the same high density white trash route and kill the elites also. So whats the difference besides skipping elites on any given route.
