Seems like you could pretty efficiently burn act 2 shards to gain xp with your own on-command tals tomb + halls of the dead + stony tomb runs + arcane + sewers, all being dense areas
Act 4/5 shards would be inordinately expensive for how fast you go through games

Considering how small A4 is, arent A4 shards the worse ones ?

I didnt see this topic at first, very good intel here. Thx Roneye

Still planning on making one for different builds aswell? Assuming Mosaic sin wont be in now? or will u make one for the NL players??

Lost City, Valley of Snakes, and Claw Viper Temple, Ancient Tunnels - B Tier
edit this to A and kinda agree.

Yeah just did a couple of extra to make sure. The addiction of Ancient tunnels takes it up a notch.

Need exact numbers sir!

So much to do with the new RotW. Will take a long time until V2.0 with data will be ready.

I believe in you Mr ronman

I envy poeple who are this dedicated. I love the entusiasm and your love for the game!
