WD solo xp grind (NM lvl 45+)
Im sure this is might be known but I thought I'd throw this out there.

I leveled from 46-50 last night by running the first quest in act IV (where Imperius and Tyrael converse)
total time was <1.5 hrs

Here was my setup
1. Toads-Rain of Toads
2. Soul Harvest-Siphon
3. Spirit Walk-Honored Guest
4. Big Bad Voodoo-Slam Dance
Primary-Darts-Splinters
Secondary-Locust Swarm-Pestilence (switched to this after a couple of runs, and no longer had to kite, as it jumps to all the mobs in < 2seconds and reapplies to all the new spawns.)
Passives-Spirit Vessel/Jungle Fort/Spiritual Attunement

A run will take approximately 60 seconds start to end (or less if you are fast at reseting quests and logging in)

Load up, and spirit walk to the conversation point
Even though it's not an official cutscene, jam the space bar to progress it faster
Click on Tyrael, then hit escape twice, and click on the portal
wait for the cutscene to load, hit esc or space bar (do the same thing, and space bar doesn't require hand movement)

As soon as the cutscene ends, you'll be standing in a diamond pattern with a little circle in the middle, move to the circle, throw down voodoo, then locust swarm, then soul harvest. Then just hold down rain of toads, just north of yourself, as this is where the boss will spawn. just face tank him, and collect your 970gp 25600 xp, 2 magic items and whatever else spawns.

Travel back to town and log out (saves ~3-4 seconds)

Stats
Start-12.5k hp 2100DPS. End 14.5k 2800 dps.
27 mana regen ~750mana.
1h +offhand 1.57 atk speed
~30-40ish% dmg reduction (forget offhand)

I called it quits for the night when I hit 50, so I'll have to go back and check how well it scales.
