I always felt hallows wasn't that great. Lots of mobs but the exp/hour wasnt that high. I usually just stack up to 5 in fest/leorics, then do fields (and crypt, and scavengers den).
On a side note, the scavengers den in fields is actually really good as well.
Yeah I use to do it with a few other people. Sometimes one of us finds the crypt right away and its great but some times even with 3 of us looking, it takes more than 5mins.
Vota is only for the quick 5 stack. Usually takes me 4-5 mins for the 5 stacks, the rest of run is amazing.
I use to do this method and it works fine enough but half the time the crypt doens't spawn so you waste your time looking for it, logging in and out, and looking for it again. Brings down your true exp/hour.
Another thing is you want to kill the spewing horrors last so they spit out more mobs. This really depends what build you're running and if its easily doable. But if you can it can have a huge impact on how much exp you gain in the crypt. It's easy with a firebats build for example (pestilence to aggro them, then just stand back as hordes keep coming towards you as you firebat away). But other builds like a WW Barb, it doesnt make sense to and I just kill indiscriminately.
Lately, i've actually been doing act 2. Vota check point, get 5 stacks, then Oasis full clear, forgotten ruins full clear, then the eastern and western channels. I skip elites after the intial 5 stacks. I've been getting anywhere from 180-200 exp/hour with my barb doing this. Each run takes about 18-20 mins, and I get around 60-65mil exp per run. This is solo, mp10, with no exp items on my character. Yes, I know this is a barb but I did these runs with my WD and DH as well and its as good as the typical act 1 run.
Nice video. Very professional and informative. I pretty much watched everything but the gearing section. I'm pretty well versed in the build though so the only new thing I learned was spectral blades is the only non elemental damage ability for wizards, ha.
