    Default Boosting with multiboxing

    I was boosting 2 mages, with 2 60 levels mages. Started at level 11 and got to level 29, seemed to be going ok - but I hoped for faster.

    This was switching between 60 torment/master games

    What a fool I am, I decided to try a lvl 29 torment 6 game - and now the EXP is flying!! if only i realised sooner.

    Don't make the same mistake i did

    There was a similar "If you're more than X levels greater or lesser than the mob's level, xp is reduced by Y%" in Diablo 2, but it wasn't impactful enough to stop people from getting to hell cows at level 5 and being PLed that way. Perhaps they stepped up the reduction for D3!

    I went from 11-29 in about 2 hours in 60 torment 1
    I went from 29-57 in under and hour in 29-57 torment 6 (and I missed the 100% exp buff)

    I'm finding the second part of the very first quest, kill the witches for a HUGE bonus in torment 6, lots of slow moving melee only zombie packs. Very easy to multi-box and gain loads of exp. I will do this up to lvl 60.

    Then I will consider when I'm going to buy 3 more expansions, played new expansion on one toon for about 3 hours - lvl 68, but team couldn't clear last boss (so close), I had to go to bed.

    I created a team of all crusaders, so no 100% xp buff. I progressed them to A Royal Audience on Torment I and have been running that nonstop to 60. Now, I'll just keep progressing the story.

    When I get around to finishing off my wizards, I'll definitely boost them and try out what you've been doing in A1 at T6.

    Started to boost a crusader, lvl 21 by the time I got to the black smith quest to see his wife, took about 10 minutes. Torment6

    I believe pet classes are great for boosting. do damage with the lowbies. then finish the mob using higher level pets not in the lowbies group. just make sure you dont use any spells, melee, or ranged weapons from the pets masters and the lowbies gain 100% of the exp. not a percentage.
    Just remember what ol' Jack Burton does when the earth quakes, and the poison arrows fall from the sky, and the pillars of Heaven shake. Yeah, Jack Burton just looks that big ol' storm right square in the eye and he says, "Give me your best shot, pal. I can take it"

    I don't think the whole pet class trick applies to D3.

    That said, a WD would probably equal pretty lazy boosting, and might be safer for the boost-ee. I'll have to give it a try at some point.

    I did a cru / WD to 50 or so by making a level 1 game with the cru on torment 6, then inviting my level 60 monk/wiz. Somewhere after that keeping the cru/wd alive during boosting got hit-or-miss, so I turned down the difficulty and just played the 4 until they caught up. My 60's weren't geared out or anything though, ymmv.

    Wish I had realized this trick worked back when the EXP bonus was in effect. This is going to make experimenting with various combo's much quicker. The most painful part of making a strafe or ww team is leveling to the point where the play-style that inspired you to play the team is viable!

    There was a good boosting post buried in the ellay thread by noth1n regarding using the act 4 hell rift in adventure mode. It's not quite as fast as just escorting them through act 1 on torment six but the alts never die so it's less annoying to do since the boosters can sit at the way point and get credit.

    quick, semi-related question:

    I have my main account with a few level 70s. I also have 3 other accounts with level 3 crusader on each.
    Now I want to use my level 70 crusader to boost the 3 lowbies, but I want to do it on torment 6. Can I use a level 1 on my main account to create a T6 game, invite the lowbies, then switch the level 1 to a level 70 and have a level 1 t6 game to boost in?
    Also, can I play adventure mode? (rifts for shards) or does each of them need to first kill act V boss?


    Edit: at work so can't test it myself
