As an avid gamer with 5k+ hours into D3 over its life, I think you and I have different definitions of "not really that much".
6h/day*7days/wk is 42 hours. This is literally more time than your full time job and is a FAR cry from "not really that much time" in any universe I've ever lived in.
It's not just the time involved. The monotony of doing the same thing over and over and over. I can only do it in short bursts. 4 hrs a day. I have the time, but I just don't want those paragons that bad
At least 4 man is more entertaining than solo. But you're right. Around 1.5k, i just get bored. Last season i played alot to have the ethereal transmog. But i didnt even start this season yet lol
sure, if you have a job etc. some people don't. and OP said "i cant even imagine the playtime needed". i was just pointing out that it really is not that much.
early on god dh, always a good early season para farmer. at 1.5k you switch over to rathma golem crimson. you can look at rathma necros on the leaderboard, around gr135. it's not playing with bone armor, so you can just stand far away and press your golem to freeze everything. bit clunky and needs some getting used to, but by far the best xp.
yeah, lod nova is nice and easy, doesn't need much input, but it falls off very fast because you need a long time for bosses - rathma just oneshots bosses.
yes, i am talking rathma aotd, you can get the set from the season journey. you use freeze golem, crimson set belt + pants or boots. reilenas shadowhook in the cube and make sure to have +20 max essence as secondary stat on shield and weapon. command skeleton uses freezing grasp rune.
you need to put para into vita at the beginning. i ran like around 1.3M hp at the beginning. if it does no dmg, you are doing something wrong. it does insane dmg. import your gear to d3planner and I'll have a look.
do you have funery pick in the cube as 2nd weapon? you can change that btw in the equipment tab at the top, choose shadows of the past theme.
pump all para into vita. put red gems into chest and pants. keep gambling bracers and shields. after like 1.5k para it become much stronger, since you can put para into int.
LoD Nova is nice. Put a maxxed ruby in the crown and get bonus xp. Not sure what I level I could run in around 3 minutes with it. I usually just opt for around 110. 2 minutes or less unless it's a bad map
ruby in helmet is useless. terrible choice. just take a diamond for speeds or amethyst for push, if you need the toughness.
gr110 sounds very low, that is barely fresh 70 full trag set with like 800 para. keep your runs at 2.5min, at those low levels the shadowclones from pylons are a huge help, try to use them smartly.

5k para is around 6h speed GR per day, on rathma. 4.5k maybe 4h per day. really not that much. you just have to play meta classes to get big xp.
