Any of you fellow wizard know good good build for leveling? I've been using the pretty standard Archon build on MP0 and MP1 and have progress pretty well. The only problem with it is I would imaging there being a more efficient way to do it. Right now I'm able to do 15 minute Alkaizer runs on MP0-1 and get around 11 million experience per run.

I've never heard of any build that can kill faster than a 300% archon beam. CM builds that use wormhole can find elites faster for loot or key farming, but I don't think anything beats the overall killing speed of archon for exp.

I'd bet @Khan has a decent idea of which build is the most efficient for exp farming.

I use the standard Archon/Improved Archon with Sparkflint, Force Weapon, and Glass Cannon. Combine it with 24% movement speed and you pretty much burn through the world at whatever level your gear can handle. Not sure how much XP I'm getting. I'll play 15 mins and post a reply.

15 minutes. 12 million XP - MP3with a leoric's, a hellfire, and a ruby. Wonder if I can do more on MP2 since elites still take about a 10 to 30 second burn time depending on their affix on MP3.

Hey! New dude here.

I heard rumors that you can actually get more xp's killing monsters in mp0 then in mp2 for example. Havent put it to the test yet, but a friend of mine said he got the same if not more xp's by playing mp0 versus 1-2.

Food for thought? You can try it out and see. In any case if you get same amount of xp on 0 as on 2, then you should at least go faster on mp0, since its easier mobs ;-)

And yeah Hellfire, Leorics and ruby definitely should do the trick. Even though Leroics cost.. what? 35 mil? *Yikes!*

@Gonzo Well the XP bonus on MP0 is 0 while the XP bonus for MP3 is 30%. (Source)

I guess I'd have to test it for sure. Don't know how the 30% loss from MP3 to 0 would create a positive return but I'll just have to try it.

i don't think i've ever one shotted a monster in inferno -_-;

Did the exact same run on MP2 and got 8 million XP in 20 minutes instead of 15 minutes. I purposefully let my timer go to 20 before I stopped just to see if there would be a difference if I went longer.

TLDR: For my current build MP3 yields 4 million more XP in 5 minutes less time than MP2 in A3.

Yeah, all my exp farming thus far has been without a Leoric's. So with one of those things I could bump the amount of experience I get more.

Seems like Khan and I have been getting the same results experience wise but on different monster levels. I've been mainly doing MP1. How the heck did you manage more experience in less time in MP3 compared to MP2? Haha. I would have expected it to be longer and maybe similar experience gained.

The likely reason I think is that my DPS vs monster health in MP2 and 3 is pretty similar so it doesn't matter as far as the time it takes to kill them. So the extra 10% XP in MP2 is probably adding up; especially when you burn 20 to 30 in one hit.
