Since I needed to complete the 1h sword challenge, I decided to do some testing. (I gave up waiting for a Caliban)

 

Patch: 6

Faction: Venatori

Difficulty: Routine

Lobby: Private

Class: Legionnaire

Weapon: Dwarven Longsword

Gold Medal: Sword Kills, Immortal, Kill Streak

Bronze medal: Operation Complete

 

Boss kill: Venatori Commander is the last enemy standing

 

Map: Orlesian Chateau

Runs: 4

Average Total kills: (144 +142 +145 + 149) / 4 = 145

Average Total xp: ( 3891 + 3837 + 3916 + 4011) / 4 = 3914

 

Map: Tevinter Ruins

Runs: 4

Average Total kills: (146 + 154 + 138 + 149) / 4 = 147

Average Total xp: (3932 + 4148 + 3742 + 3947) / 4 = 3942

 

Map: Elven Ruins

Runs: 4

Average Total kills: (134 + 135 + 149 + 142) / 4 = 140

Average Total xp: (3554 + 3779 + 4077 + 3936) / 4 = 3837

 

Final Act 5 always had 49 regular mobs and 1 flaming hot Lady Boss.

 

Boss kill: Venatori Commander is the first dead enemy in the final act

 

Map: Orlesian Chateau

Rambo Runs: 1 (challenge done.. too lazy for more runs)

Total kills: 114

Total XP: 2910

 

Final Act 5 always had 10 regular mobs and 1 flaming hot Lady Boss.

 

Conclusion for (only the following settings): “Solo – Venatori – Routine”

• Barely any spawn and xp difference between the 3 map types

• Only ¾ total xp if the boss dies first and fast in the final act

 

Reflection:

• You get a lot more XP by killing the boss last. (but slower run)

• Spawn might be different with more than 1 player in the game

note to self:

if you grind for weapon challenges kill the boss last!

As my earlier testing showed, people really ought to make it standard to "Milk The Boss", and by that I mean kill the Boss last in act 5.

 

Testing "Milk The Boss" on perilous difficulty in a team shows this:

 

Normal Run : 20 - 25K xp

Milk The Boss : 25 - 32K xp

 

-> It is quite A LOT of extra xp gained in a relatively short amount of time (if your team can stay alive)

 

 

Spawning in act 5:

Boss dies first: 10 peons

Boss dies last: 49 peons

I am never in a pug group on perilous good enough to even remotely think about milking the boss.  I suppose Venatori could be the only one, the others are just too deadly.  An organized group could milk them all though i suppose.
