I've found a pretty fast and effective way to level for paragon experience like crazy! By Doing COTA runs (or "Crypt of The Ancients" runs), andskipping the Elites, you can rack up Paragon experience so fast you can gain anywhere from 6-10 Paragon levels in an hour!
I'm leaving a link to the video below so you all can check it out. Let me know what you guys think
I have done a lot of cota runs in the beginning of 2.0, I made like 100 levels and eventually burned out on them. Can't force myself any further and since I hit Paragon 200 I am quite happy and just farm "normally" on t2-3 with my friends instead of speed farming cota.
I wish i was Paragon 200. Just nearing the 100 mark myself. cant wait till i can farm T3 easily
Yea, i would be playing hardcore.......except the idea of losing a character i've put oh i dont know.....100+ hours into.
The Idea is cool, but when you can die to Lagspikes, server issues, Hp support assistant, system reminders, ect.........kinda makes me not want to play Hardcore. I've actually played several characters and lost them all due to Lag issues. All except for 1. Dam reflect damage and Demon hunter traps dont mix!

I have been playing this game since the first day of release. Pure hardcore on both NA and EU. all characters 60+ (except WD) I have only died once and he was DH.
don't let peoples stories of them dieing because of this or that prevent you from playing HC. dieing from DC or lagg does not happen that often. (well in PoE it does)
the excitement and the rush of defeating enemies in HC that almost killed you but when you prevail in the end is something you can't get in SC.
This play style you guys have in SC in all honesty and not to be insulting looks very very boring. And how can one take pride in your character? I can look at my characters and say i walked each one, found each and every piece of there gear. and all of them have gear. unlike SC players. where you take your gear from your main and throw all over the place on other characters because you got bum rushed all the way. opps sorry kinda went insulting there.

Well i wasnt letting people's storys keep me from hardcore. I experienced Tons of lag deaths personally, an they were very VERY frusterating. I agreee, you get excitemement like none other when you play Hardcore. The rush is pretty awesome i do admit.
Also, i dont use other chars gear for other characters. I used to do that like 8-10 months ago, but i'm in a spot now where i'm getting specific gear for everyone. Dont get me wrong, i'd love to play hardcore again! In fact, i'm looking at making a HC video series where me and 3 others make HC characters and try not to die
Quote from The Overmind» why would you want to spend more time and effort to do somthing that takes way less time and effort? Sounds like a case of insanity to me.
Fun?
I don't know if you have played Diablo 2, but in Diablo 2, the most efficient way for loot and experience is Baal runs. All day long. Which gets pretty boring after a week or two. The same will happen if you only run Crypt of the Ancients. Or Core of Arreat chest farming. Or Halls of Agony cursed chest farming.
Thankfully, we will have RoS soon, and all these talks about small and efficient farm routes will be gone because of the Bounties and Rifts.
Please don't lump all of us SC players in the same batch...I, personally, kill everything, clearing entire areas from beginning to end. I don't give 2 sh*ts about being efficient or getting 900 gaziilion xp points/hr. I just wanna kill sh*t!! lol

I have played diablo 2. Ran a necromancer with an army of skeletons. I used to do Baal runs, looking for those super powerful runes so i could make runewords. The stuff doest get repetative....FAST....... but its efficient, and thats the point of it. I actually switch from doing COTA for about an hour, to doing whole story runs, full clear, on normal looking for Legendaryss. Cuz i cant stand the Droning for very long either. Still its a good way to grind out a couple Para levels a day.

I'm also a big fan of clearing areas, checking all dead guys, breakable bots, loose stones, ashes ect. I've actually gotten 3 Legendarys from the ashes. 2 from the area before skelly king, and 1 in the ashes with skelly king. Maybe we could do some runs?

and ure saying the majority HC mentality of playing is any better? In my opinion the HC playstyle is vastly more boring than SC, all you guys do is stack toughness then play in a difficult 2 below what your gear allows, yawn. Id rather play in a difficulty equal to or above what i'm capable of and die a few times than play in easy-mode because of the fear of death.

Breaking news!
Thats certainly impressive! Probly due to the 50% bonus XP right now.
COTA still works really well in my experiences.

Leave it to Softcore players to figure out how to use as little skill as possible in lvling there characters.
