Well hooked up with a random LTG party doing the WW on Elite. Which I was about to create and look for, so it was good timing.
We had a fighter, a pally, healing cleric and others. 6 in total including myself, so couldn't caste my Cleric VI hireling. But the cleric was very good, so was the paladin as it buffed regularly and healed.
The 4 part quest chain run doing all optionals only took 2 hours or so and got at least 21k XP. Took me well past and up to level 7. I'm sure the 50% bonus for first elite run helped, but even without that a good XP for a few runs. A good combat 3 and 2-3 hirelings cleric/paladin would be a decent run.
