    DZ leveling

    Just had a question about leveling in the DZ. Yesterday I ran with a couple different pub groups in DZ5/6 for a good 5 hours and was able to get from level 54 to 60 in that time frame and that was with +XP stats. While that seemed pretty good, I felt like it was really slow and I feel like there are more NPC's to farm if you move down in to DZ3/4 and thus would make leveling a bit faster. Now I know the fastest way is to manhunt your way through it but with Pub groups that seems far-fetched at best.

    Anyways what are your guys opinions on which is better and why?

    Thanks!

    Depends. Going rogue and getting away with it is a great way, but it can backfire and you lose a ton of XP. Last week I dropped from 85 to 84. Now at 89 or something.
    Killing rogues is probably the best way! You lose very little if you die, and get a lot (depending on their rogue rank)

    If its an active DZ with rogues, hunt. If not, go rogue yourself and run like the wind :P

    Every server is a test when you first join. First, start killing AI's for a while and wait to see if rogues pop up, if they do hunt them down and wait for more. Killing people on manhunt will get you a ton of xp. If no rogues pop up then go rogue yourself to see who comes after you, if you survive do it again and again and again until you go manhunt and then run. LOL Rinse and repeat.

    For strictly farming npcs, I find dz1 and 2 the best. They die fast, pose little risk, There's more of them, they seem to respawn faster and they give nearly the same XP compared to lvl 32s up in 5/6

    If you're looking to go rogue, I've read that surviving a 90 second rogue timer gives my "XP per minute" than surviving manhunt.

    DZ 1 / 2 for leveling purposes because of how little Elites there are compared to DZ 5/6. Factor in the damage variance as well. You should be able to mow down 1-4 NPCs alot faster than DZ 5/6. It's all about efficiency. Going Rogue or hunting Rogues helps as well, if youre into that.

    Solo... exactly this... I tend to stay DZ01/02... 01 mostly mainly for the easy access to the exits if needed to at least hang while rogues do their thing and move on... 4-5 levels gained that way on Sunday... group we DO hit the higher areas... running the farm circle...
