I will certainly test this myself and report back, when I have a decent sample.
Another point is upgrading gems. I am currently upgrading my gems at level 75+ @ 1% chance. I have no chance of upgrading them at 60 but I do have that 1% at 65. Getting a good group to do a few 75s to upgrade gems would be better, but that is not always an option, and I've gained 5-6 gem levels this way so far which is great.
I'm @ Paragon 888 right now and other than gems I do not really see anything else than xp that matters to me. So maybe that 1000+ paragon you're mentionning for not caring about bloodshards / leg per hour is a bit overkill. But then maybe I'm just lucky, who knows.
I average 120 to 160 bill an hour running 65s in 6 to 10 minutes. The 6 is when you get a good rift with a good RG for a SWK Monk. Were your tests done with 2 supports characters wearing xp gear(Cain+Born+Hellfire+leoric) as well as everyone in party with ruby in helms? More importantly, did you do all your tests with the same %xp bonus in party?
I made a summary of our tests on leoric crown here
You can also check page and 3 and 4 for the details of the tests. over 20 runs were done, nobody ever got the crown sub level 20 and at least 15 runs at Level 20 or above got the crown.
Alright, Thanks a bunch for your dedication on testing this! I will test it myself once tonight just for confirmation and update the post on the official forums accordingly.
