I am level 65 zerker and want to get to 70, but the grind is killing me and I don't think I can make it, I don't want to quite but it seems like playing 3 hours a night is going to take me a life time to get there.

Anyone have any ideas on were to get better xp....most of the quests I have are long grinds as well.

I usually duo with a healer.

Thanks in advance for help

Get with a group an run the instances.  It's fun and passes the time better than grinding.

Where are you hunting now, and how much progression are you seeing per hour?

Sadly xp slows down as you reach 65 and slows to a crawl when you reach 69.  First thing you may want to break out of is duoing with the healer and get into groups. 

  • Sanctum Of The Scaleborn: This is a great zone even when your level 67 for xp.  You will have to go to the deeper parts to really get xp.  If you get into a fast and good group it can take maybe 1-2hrs to get 10-30% at 65-67. 
  • The Nest: A good fast zone with decent xp and a good amount of xp as a reward for the quest in there. 
  • Vaults: Another great zone in The Barren Sky that has a steady amount of xp.  It is a bit tougher than The Nest since the mobs fear and the end guy fully regenerates at 20-30% health.  However doing this a couple times over will net ya atleast 25% xp. 
  • Halls of Fate: I don't recommend this zones unless your in a group with a level 70 tank, level 70 healer and another healer or 2-3 great dps.  It will give a HUGE amount of xp, but the mobs can be rather tough and you may have to hang back at times to avoid AoEs.
  • Den Of The Devourer: Pretty much like HoF and tied to the Grizfaz quest that gives a decent reward.  Again I would recommend a level 70 tank and healer with 3 good dps. 
  • The Acadechism: A little longer than nest and a bit harder, but still a good zone that you could probably tank.  Gives alot of great items and a decent amount of AA xp for your first time through.
  • Obelisk of Blight: Harder than HoF and that's as much as I will say.  You would probably be tagging along mostly hoping to gain some xp.  Good zone if you are level 68-69 and hoping to earn a decent chunk of xp.
  • Crypt of Valdoon: Hard as Obelisk of Blight
  • New Tunaria: Decent area with some high-elf killin that can net some decent xp depending upon where you hunt.  There are some names around that offer up some good rewards too.

Those are the best zones I can suggest with recommendations as per level, etc... . Hope it helps you out SMILEY
