Blessed insignias help. Shields with +10 vs blunt help. Other than that, it's pretty self explanatory.

You can expect to kill 300-330 enemies per hour with this setup. Don't bother killing the paragons. They take too long. 18 runs/hour killing about 17 foes per run, depending on spawn.

Anything works. More is better.

I just mapped into town 10 times and ran to the appropriate exit. Including loading time, my average was a hair under 11 seconds. Also, though the video is 3:32 long, you will notice the 1st 9 seconds are an intro, where I'm not doing anything, and the rest of the non-paragon enemies die at 3:26. That is a 3:17 run, with 2 seconds to pick up the 1-3 drops from the warriors, and the 11 seconds of zoning time, that is exactly 3:30. Your 13 run/hour estimation would require you to take 78 seconds to find the door each time you map. Let's everyone chip in and buy this man a GPS. I'm just messin' with you. Have a good one.

I am not a hater at all. It is a good way of farming nick's item. From the blackness came up with the prototype of the build, I was just suggesting to make this farm faster.
