so 95 in tz is better then baal runs?
I did not crunch the numbers on this. I only observed it for 98.

I thought when we did the math it was pretty clear that terror zones were not good for xp until level 94+ and around level 98 we're talking like 40x faster than baal runs
level 85/88 monsters give you a % xp penalty based on mlvl vs clvl (not counting the global clvl modifier) of:
90: 100/100%
91: 80.9/100%
92: 62.1/100%
93: 43.0/100%
94: 23.8/80.9%
95: 5.1/62.1%
96: 5.1/43.0%
97: 5.1/23.8%
98: 5.1/5.1%
and of course, in terror zones you get 100% experience at that penalty stage for each level since you're never past the clvl-5 range.
Terror zones have slightly higher base XP because of the increased monster level but all the sparse areas are obviously going to give less overall base experience than a high density chaos/baal run even with a slight buff from TZ
once you're in that level 95 range and getting about 1/20 xp from trash mobs, you could really see a difference with terror zones.
but again, that means none of this actually helps you until you're trying to level up from 95->96 and then its still a boring very slow grind and not whatsoever worth it for any practical purpose, so it begs the question of why
