The elites in A3 Inferno are retardedly hard, especially when the base mob has natural teleport or ranged, so I started farming Treasure Bandits and Resplendant chests instead.
The A2 TB run I do, allows me to find 2 TB's in under 5 minutes (if they spawn). Sometime both spawn, sometimes one, and sometimes none. Found a Mempo something legendary helm I sold for 1.4 million gold, perfect star ruby pattern, and a bunch of 50kish AH items which isn't bad, but no weapon upgrades can drop for me in A2.
Alternatively I do 2 resplendant chests in A3, but depending on the elites in the area, I usually just teleport in to see if it's there then nab the loot asap.
How to do it :
Choose quest "The Black Soulstone" in A2 Inferno. You will start at the Hidden Camp. Take the Ancient Path (?) wp, and go right up the stairs... go all the way til the map starts winding (not far). If you don't see a Treasure Bandit yet, he isn't there.
Then take the WP to "Road to Alcarnus". This is a really good area, that usually spawns with 2 chests and about 20 bodies/vases/piles of bones, and potentially another Treasure Bandit and potentially 1 of 2 unique (purple name) bosses. You have to be careful and clear the area here, since some mobs take alot of dmg to kill around the TB, and you don't want it getting away.
The A3 resplendant run - start at Siegebreaker or Heart of Sin. If SB, take the Rakkis wp and see if the Underbridge dungeon is open; if HoS go back through SB's lair to see if it's there (it's right before the bridge narrows right before SB).
The second resplendant is in the Halls (?) lvl 1 wp. Both the chests only spawn if the dungeon is a certain layout - once you find them, check the map and instantly leave if you get in another game and it isn't the same layout. Even with the correct layout, sometimes they don't spawn also, but both the chests are quite close to the entrances (3-6 rooms) so if you do get the correct layout, run in and see if it's there.
Anyone else got any inferno runs that are good like these?
