I'm going to continue trying different variations of the run to see if there is anything better.
I did this run from 99 to 100 last night, 32 runs total iirc. Even though I disliked the start of the run I kept with it to see how well I did. Getting 3 stacks in arreat crater 2 wasn't uncommon at all, which you have to deal with, I would check the next room over at keep depths 1 to see if I could get a fourth or fifth stack. Overall it's a fast paced run which is nice, I didn't get much loot though, six legendaries : /
The more bonus xp you have from gear, the less of a difference NV stacks make. So for someone with no hellfire ring or leoric's I would suggest getting some stacks before hitting the high density areas.
The more I play it the more I question if I should do the Arreat Crater at all, it's the most frustrating of the three areas and probably the least density. Just replace it with Skycrown and you get 5 stacks 90% of the time.
I decided to do 60 minutes exactly, which ended up being 10 runs.
61,899,506 xp in 60 minutes = ~62m xp/hr
4 legendaries
0 legendaries worth gold
I noticed that many games I would never get 5 stacks. The arreat level 2 and keeps level 2 are just so random. Because of this reason, I'm going to try adding core of arreat to the start of this run and do another 60 minutes. We will see how that changes things.
I would take the WP to stonefort and enter the door to skycrown instead, i almost always get 4-5 stacks there, and there is a high concetration of mobs there, or Core+Tower of the damned works as well for 4-5 stacks.
That makes sense, it's another high density area too which is great
Back on topic, I figured out that there is three basic layouts for the Arreat Crater Level 2, once you figure those out you will know where elites are most likely to spawn and where the exit is. I've pretty gotten it down where I can get 4-5 stacks every game just in the crater without too much back-running. I've improved my xp/hr by about 3m, so now I'm at 65m xp/hr.

Yea, my first try. Amazing run for xp... also a leg dropped
Also I'm playing a plvl 62 witch doctor with a hellfire on my WD and a hellfire + leoric's on my follower. This was on MP0.
Hey man. What route were you doing previously? What was the xp difference? if you don't mind me asking. I'm just curious to see how other character classes work on this run
I was doing a route I made myself, I will do 10 runs of each route and show my stats. Alkaizer, my own, and yours.
Raoha, this isn't even your route, it's skyhigh's route, you just copied his routes and claimed them as your own

It's perfectly possible that two people came up with something without knowing about the other. Happens all the time, don't just assume that he copied it.

DH has better mobility, but lacks the kind of AOE/resources I can sustain with my WD.
Raoha Route
Run 1: 8,877,006 7 minutes = ~76m xp/hr
Run 2: 5,904,096 5 minutes = ~71m xp/hr
Alkaizer Route
Run 1: 9,100,375 8 minutes = ~68m xp/hr
Run 2: 9,262,094 9 minutes = ~62m xp/hr
About 15% more xp per hour compared to alkaizer, in my own testing. I will continue to test and see what the averages are.
