Renaming the thread to remove the "this video is public" part. Unncessary clutter.

Would be interesting to know what are the minimum required stats to do this

I saw you almost got one shot quite a few times there. Dying over and over again to a Vortex or Jailer elite would certainly make this more of a chore than anything.

Also, it's just for Barbarians so I'm moving it to the Barb forums.

Quote from Turtel

This also works in KD2 on MP10, same build (possibly drop bash for killing spree). Kill trash only, if you run into a dead end/lose WotB/die - reset.
Quest 'Find the Breach' will give you a checkpoint at the start of KD2.

This run is actually the best for legendary farming, so if you want to combine xp+loot farming, you have this choice. For pure XP follow the vid.

Is says the video is unavailable, let us know when it's fixed cause I really wanna see this.

...Check out the video of the route, its a few minutes long and gets straight to the point. I also included stats this time as alot of people wanted to see my log....

I stirred up some bad blood in your last thread with these points and i am therefore glad that you took this advice!

grats to your new route and the newsfeed.

Quote from Avoid

This route will punish your items and legendaries/hour, I wouldn't recommend it - the whole point of farming essentially is to get richer, not just to level up

but that varies from person to person, goodluck

Actually, about 75% of legendaries come from white mobs, which this route takes advantage of. In the case of players with good mf, or high enough paragon, the mf from nephalem stacks is pretty small. So, with good base mf I can see this route actually being a lot better for finding legendaries.

I haven't noticed a drop off in legendaries/hour myself since switching, but I am max mf. Also, I don't really keep a running average either so I'm just going off of what I've seen. If someone would like to do some tests and give their numbers it would definitely help.

Quote from Ryude

I did a few runs replacing Arreat Crater with the skycrown and I can only get 64-65m xp/hr compared to 72-75m xp/hr with Arreat Crater.

hEY LOOK, it's another "screw efficiency" post...

I ENJOY getting awesome items all the time. You know how I got to that point? I power leveled, running as efficiently as possible to the point where I got great equipment and my plevel high enough to the point where I see legendaries on a regular basis.

What a stupid post to make on a thread about exp efficiency.

Yep, as Baron pointed out, I'm reading these ridiculous posts from people claiming that the Alkashitzier route (whatever the fuck) is the only way to para level. Now we're apparently whittling it down to new routes that save 1 minute and 31 seconds per 8 hours or whatever the hell is going on in this thread.

It's good that people figure this shit for posterity sake but what's occurring is that far too many folks are buying into this idea that because X route is Y% more efficient, than all other areas/acts/routes are suddenly obsolete.

It's a bad practice to play that way for many folks because this sort of mindless route running is akin to manually controlling a bot....it causes people to burn out and quit.

THIS IS IMPORTANT SO PLEASE READ

If you are going to test this run and make comparisions, you MUST:

-Don't touch shrines. They aren't the same run and you can't use it as a comparison.

-Don't pick up ANY items. Pickup time affects exp/hr and we only care about exp/hr (ok, pick up legendaries, but be quick about it!)

-You have to do multiple types of runs to have comparisons. If you make 60/hr doing this, don't cry foul because maybe you were only making 40/hr before on Alk's

-Measure your time from start of game to start of game. Reload time is important! Also, use a stopwatch, seconds matter when extrapolating a small number into a larger one.

-And last but not least, Measure your runs in multiple instances over time. That will average mob density better than calculating exp/hr for each run and averaging them all. Do runs for a full hour to get a more realistic sense of exp/hr.
