Lol, we all run different version's of Raoha's route.  Here's the way I do it:

Skycrown Battlements (Gets 3-5 stacks ALWAYS, and it takes like 2min at most to clear and you get around 2m exp there)
Tower of the Damned lvl 1 (1 circle for remainder stacks)
Rakkis Crossing-Fields of Slaughter (clear most of it)
Keeps 2 (clear until Breach is reached)
Arreat 2

sometimes I do Core as well, its just that the monster density there isn't too good, but there are a nice amount of elites there

I've been doing Skycrown, Tower, Arreat, Keeps, and Rakkis into Fields of Slaughter, lol.

For those of you who watched my main Strafer guide on YouTube, I'll be posting another video follow-up video to include a few other things I purposely left out the first time around.

D3's answer to ww-sin ^^

However, I've always felt the dmg was too low

I tested it a lot some time ago, but I came to the conclusion that ball lightning/multishot is just way faster

I hope this is assuming you don't kite that much.

This build is designed to keep moving forward without the need for kiting. While I concede that Ball Lighting / Multishot does more damage, Strafe is just much faster for speed runs.

Here's my take on the subject:

I run with legacy nats and I can tell you that provided you indeed have the old set, you don't need either preparation, or night stalker. Instead of preparation, I opted for Fan of Knives with increased radius rune. Most fun skill for DH in my oppinion, it just feels right when you're in the middle of a huge melee and you pop that Fan of Knives and everything in a 20 yard radius is gone. The damage output on it is simply phenomenal and it comes in quite handy especially against elites and rares which are a bit more mobile and manage to evade your bombs from the desolation rune on strafe. Instead of night stalker best two options are Archery for that extra 50% CD, or Perfectionist if you are lacking some defensive stats (which is most often the case when equipped with 4 pieces Legacy Nats)

Anyway, with my measly 72k dps, 25k life ~350 AR, 4k armor and only hellfire ring on my char and my follower (no room because of nats ring, or gold for that matter, for a leoric's...) I make about 900k exp per minute on average

Oh and one more thing... If you see an Empowering shrine, that thing is the shit! 5 sec cooldown on Fan of Knives, endless Vault and Shadow Power. Mobility meets immortality and devastation! :D

Great guide, excellent build to stick it to those boring and unoriginal WW barbs, who previously thought of themselves as the most efficient char/build for paragon farming.

I run this for the last 30+ levels @ mp0 or 1
http://diabloheroes.com/profile/hero/kizuna1979/29761034

very very fast and fun, nonstop action.
for elites i just gloom, vault in, knives and vault out.
everything else just blows up.
the vaulting never has any down time, never had trouble with not enough disc for gloom either.
only time i die is to reflect when i forget to pop gloom first.
the max disc is not needed, you just have to manage the disc slightly more
i am selling out tho, so bye bye strafer :(
