I couldn't find hard data, but I know with the old MP system even stacked as fuck people did paragon level grinding on mp2-3 because kill speed > everything else when it comes to getting xp. I'm inclined to think the 25% increase from hard->expert isn't worth the increase in mob hp, and that hard is probably the best for leveling a fresh character solo. Paragon grinding probably best on expert or master if you only want pure levels, but Torment 1 gets you them special loots.

I think Torment 1 is the way to go. 400% vs 200% is quite a bit for only ~1 more skill in total kills for me. On torment 4 it takes 5 Frost arrows, on Torment 1 it takes 3, I'm not really sure on the scaling but the only reason I grind on torment 1 is because I don't die to a stiff breeze there, where as if I'm on torment 4 I do.

Torment 1 is the new MP1-2. 300% extra loot/gold for a minimal amount of difficulty increase. The only reason anyone did higher MPs was for guaranteed likelihood of keys for infernal machines, or to brag (esp MP10).

Kill speed isn't everything, it's about balancing clear speed and movement speed (aka how fast you can move inbetween mobs and through the map), which is why having 12% extra MS on boots is pretty big, and the no-brainer pick for paragon points across all classes is MS. It's just too good.

Can you break the cap with Paragon points? I've been putting mine NOT in MS simply because my DH is "Capped" without them.

I think the cap is only for equipment: skills and shrines don't affect the cap, to my knowledge.

I've just been doing Act 1 Quest 3 Torment 6 runs for XP. It's pretty damn good for paragon XP, also got a few legendary drops from doing it as well. It seems to be the most popular one right now.

Otherwise I solo farm some stuff at torment 1-2.

Legendary drops are friggin nuts now.
Almost caught up to Soniv/Shelke now, despite almost fucking suiciding because I entered the Belial fight alone in a 4 player Hard mode party.

I had basically resigned myself to losing my barb.
Would have probably stopped playing lol

Hardcore mode is simply about not dying and know which mobs you actually can and cannot kill.

Or just being unkillable and tanky as shit and jumping into 50+ mobs and grinding them out eventually. This is the plan I chose.

I hate the idea of running away. Fuck that shit. Also progression is so damn slow in hardcore.

I had this mentality until I lost my first character at 59 in Hell mode before the nerf. Never again.

Protip, Always run from Jailer Deso Plagued. Add molten for real sadness.

lol sorry about that wave. That was completely my fault. I didn't hit accept since I was checking skill build. Then somehow, you ended up in there alone due to me not communicating it clearly that I hit cancel.

Hardcore is fun, and hard mode makes it a lot more interesting. The drops also seem to be much better from Normal -> Hard, but I don't know if it's actually something that happens. It sure feels like it though. I'm very surprised at how fast LordTolkien, Wave, and red leveled up with that 4 man group there too. We started out with me at level 34, and the rest at around 22-24. By the time I left, almost everyone was from 33-37(my memory is too fuzzy to remember exact levels)

Any nondodgeable cc is instant run away in hardcore. Or any of the teleport guys in act 3 with walls and desolate makes me so sad. But even now after playing like 10hrs on this RoS patch. It's not nearly as infuriating as inferno was on release (esp as monk, like it was the worst class hands down). Reflect damage was always on and multiplied, arcane would 1 shot your ass, actually scratch that. Everything one shotted your ass.

A friend of mine found a legendary on a booshelf. Now he's doing the "check/destroy everything" method.

This is 100% the correct method to do in the new patch

I got like 2 legendaries from breakables so far. Neither are Best in Slot for me, but I've gotten like only 1 legendary from rare / elite mobs. Gotten like 8 legendaries from solo Azmodan torment 1 and Act 1 quest 3 torment 6 runs.

Got a 500 dex 500 vit dead man's legacy, which completely rekt my legacy dead man's legacy.

I found a legendary orb that makes ray of frost pierce enemies. I will forego my standard "always use shields" hardcore strategy to do the billion damages.
