Hi guys,

I just reached paragon level 16 and it seemed to take quite awhile to get from 15 to 16. I timed myself doing my act 3 run and I earn a little over 15M exp/hour. This doesn't seem like much considering I am pretty much blasting through normal mobs in seconds and elites without molten/arcane are dying in about 10-15 seconds. Additionally, I switched out of my crit bracers into some affordable lacuni prowlers, so I have +24% MS. I've heard it's possible for barbs to get like, 50M+ per hour. I know monks simply don't have that kind of speed, but it feels really slow. At 15M/hour, it's going to take about 20 hours to get from 16 to 25 :(.

A couple of things:
-I go in the following order: stonefort, keep depths 1-3, arreat crater 1 all the way to killing azmodan. Takes about 1 hour.
-I stop to ID rares and go back to town to dump twice. This takes about 5-10 minutes.
-I have a perfect star ruby in my helm (29%)

I feel like the arreat crater levels are the best for efficient exp. That being said, it still helps to get the 5 NV stack before hitting the craters for the exp bonus. Has anyone had any success doing faster paragon leveling? Mostly interested in monks, but any advice would be welcome.

Thanks!

I just hit 16 as a barb yesterday, how long did it take you from 15 to 16? It took me 3 big act 1 runs and an Act 3 quickie to get it.

I think it took me like 2 hours. I was farming exp slightly slower before switching to lacuni prowlers. I only do act 3 runs unless I am really close to leveling, then I just do some garbage in act 1/2.

blizzard should have put experience shrines with the new patch...maybe the next patch....
