Bugged Hell Rift on T6 Bountie's ~ 420k gold and 60/80m xp in a couple minutes.

It already has been nerfed. Clear the hell rift used to come up way more often and there also used to be cursed chests in close to 75% of the games, now you rarely see a cursed chest. It's still a solid farming area though.

It hasnt been touched yet.

Today I heard you can get a lvl1 hero to lvl69 with this. I tried it four times with someone else, but clearing the hell rift wasn't that easy for us since we aren't appropriately geared yet. You are supposed to leave the last mob alive, get it down low enough so the level one hero can kill it. It isn't clear yet whether or not the lvl70 stays inside the game because I didn't ask, but I suppose he leaves.
Our biggest issue was getting that mob down to low HP without killing it. I got it to 5mio, then dropped all gear except for the weapon and kept hitting it until it was down to 500k, but each time I accidentally killed it. The two times the other guy had already switched to his lowbie, he only got from 1->9 and 9->15 respectively. It is supposed to be working though, but I don't know enough about the XP mechanics to confirm this and sadly failed doing this.

Even with the fail, it was still pretty good xp and gold considering our gear and we even got the natalya boots to drop. Compared to some other levelling exploits, this was surprisingly fun.

Another piece of advice: Frost wizards are great for kiting if your gear isn't T6ish yet.

I just completed Hell Rift on US, and the exp/gold wasn't changed. Though, there was an elite pack in level 2, which never happened pre-patch.

i was afraid theyd do that. might still be worth it...

edit: these elite packs tore me apart, goodbye t6 hellrifts.

[sh0t]

are there any other quests which give little less xp & gold, but are fast to farm in higher torment levels?

I did T6 Hell rift yesterday, and there was no elite pack. I assume they aren't spawn every time.
A T6 Miner's Gold bounty in Act2 was pretty easy, don't know if it is yet so.

thx, but as far as i've seen on diablofans, there's a undocumented patch change in 2.0.5:
A Miner's Gold requires you to now actually defend the Miner to complete the quest.

but i havent tested this yet, might try this later.

My hell rifts have been nerfed, both for exp and elite pack sadly...
