knockback + vortex + plague/molten/descrator/arcane .. add horde to it = GG lolz
thats why WotB-ToC is so OP

I usually farm mp10 IF the party member consist of players from my friend list (easier to get a good/balanced party with dps to match)
Rarely do solo runs nowadays, when i dont hv friends to party with i will start an mp8 game, get 5 nv then open game to public.
As most of my toons are arnd 200k dps with mid-range tier gears ... anything below 30-45s to kill e pack is acceptable to me.

Act 1 Route:
Festering Woods (for nv stack) > Weeping Hollow > Fields of Misery ... (if i feel like pushing my luck after some good amount of legs drop) > Halls of Agony 1-3 (including kill Butcher) > Whismey

Act 2 Route:
VotA > Dahgur Oasis

My fav for short run is just Dahgur Oasis .. save checkpoint in Forgotten Ruins (usually can get 3 nv in here) then get 2 more in Oasis .... the invi snake packs are giving awesome xp. I prefer Oasis as compared to FoM bcos for me its much "safer" (no bull charging, no tree spitting poison pods)

for some of my toonz the bull is annoying eg. :
DH channeling Rapid Fire .. suddenly get charged from bull ... worse case scenario is next charge will kill my DH .. even if i survive need to refill hatred n disc to start channeling again.
WD channeling Bats .. same story as DH

for my other toonz np at all .. my cm wiz can tele>freeze .. and my barb can just spin/hota them to death lolz

my monk is coming soon .. so i prolly use ur suggestion of FoT+Bell .. or maybe TR+Bell them hahaha.

yuhhaur
those are same priority list as mine tree 1st then bull then e packs

thats why i prefer Dahgur Oasis .. less stressful

depends on ur current dps .. usually SoJ start to shine if ur paper dps is 200k n above .. 100-200k dps mostly break even .. also if ur crit chance is high enuff to compensate for the loss of cc on one ring slot.
there are also other situations which SoJ can benefit certain build eg:
- cold soj for ww barb
- cold soj for HA DH using Cull of the Weak passive
- zombie dog/bears/firebats reduction soj
- high spirit regen TR@WoL soj (2.x SR n above) for TR/Bell monks
