Any archetype leveling tips?

[Combat Blues]

I'm looking forward to start my first Nightmare run tonight. I would like to have all the archetypes maxed already before my friends and me gather for the Nightmare attempt.

I'm aware there were some patched leveling exploits. I don't want to abuse glitches, I just want to know if anyone figured an easy or confy way to level up the remaining classes. Just going through the story again and again feels a bit slow, specially when I use the classes I disliked and I avoided using until now.

Keep one that's maxed on and put a second one that needs leveling if your leveling 2 at the same time it takes longer since the xp is split 50/50

N'Rud and see if you can find hatchery, it'll be the "progress" dungeon between the first and second areas so if you get there and it's zombies reset it, the bugs were worth about 112 a pop with ring and stew going, they die easily and come in large numbers.

There are a few meta strategies.

One is in the red throne room. You kill off the three elites in the starting area. Get killed by the elites in front of the empress and then kill off the 3 elites in the prison. After that you make sure to open up the pathway to the prison cell and just kill yourself and repeat.

Another just has to deal with going into dungeons with a lot of enemies like the hatchery. Use the enigma and the amulet toxic release valve and just keep resetting after killing off all the mobs.

I started my nightmare solo run on a 1/1 Challenger-Gunslinger and I did fine for most of it. I'd recommend maxed out weapons you're comfortable with and a survivaly build but if you're going multiplayer you might even not need it. Still I'd go with Handler, Medic or Challenger as a prime class.

Thank you all guys.

I didn't knew the exp split if you level two archetypes at once.

Maybe if I use my maxed Archon and the Hatchery and go around zapping some enemies I will be able to level up fast, combined with the EXP bonuses.

If you are running archon the burden of the follower ring can give you almost permanent mod uptime. Works real nice with the double barrel shotgun combo'd with shiny hog lure ring for extra mod power on reload. Then use a mod like faery familiar that will track down enemies. Makes farming super quick in a place like the hatchery.
