Yay, grinding.

So right now the best way to grind levels in Diablo III is to go to the Crypt of the Ancients, clear it out (except for the Elite/Rare/Whatever, because he takes too long to kill), warp back to town, and reset the game and do it all over again.

Prior to 2.0, the best way to grind was to follow a creep-heavy path throughout the majority of Act III, because then your increased XP, gold and magic find would stack after every Elite you killed (although you really should have killed Azmodan last because then all the stacks might give you a decent item).

While the loot is a lot better post-patch, I'm not really thrilled with the CotA grind model.  I do miss the system where every Elite kill would grant you a temporary bonus to XP gain. 

Chances are this is all going to be moot the moment Reaper of Souls and its Adventure Mode hits.  Ah well.

Post-Craig Review: Dr. No

 Back to the very beginning. This is a lie. "The beginning" would surely be a review of Ian Fleming's 1953 novel Casino Royale...
