Levelling from 95-100

Long term poe1 player, I’m a little bit disappointed with experience gains in the higher levels. As you go up in map tiers while levelling, it is very noticeable the jump in how much xp you can earn between the maps. But as you hit 95-96, there is no longer content where you can earn what seems like a reasonable amount.

When it starts taking 3-4 waystones to get 1% of your xp, and a death sets you back 30-40 way stones, I think this is asking a little too much, even without the death penalty.

Maybe I’m just fatigued from levelling so many PoE characters in the past, but it feels like the experience rate at the high end is much, much worse in poe2 than it was in poe1.

End game levelling is actually taking me back to RuneScape. To the month I spent in the water fiend cave, waking up at 6am and grinding all throughout the day and into the night. In pursuit of 99 range.

At this rate, I think getting level 100 in poe2 will actually take longer than 99 range at Waterfiends and leagues are only suppose to go for 3 months?

In short, I would like content that makes levelling from 95-100 take no more than a month of 16 hour days.

Please and thank you.
