I haven't given this a second thought in several months. Since I DL'd the Vert UI and have a percentage next to my exp bar, it takes about 5-6 spawns to nail down a pretty precise amount per kill. From there I can easily do the math to know how long/how many kills it'll take to lvl.
i.e. I camped Drizda Tunesinger/Dark Deathsinger from like 29-34. Both on a 6:20-6:30 timer
29 2.334% per kill (2% for 2 kills, 3% for every 3rd kill)
30 she gave me just over 1% per kill. Damn Hell levels. (every so often a single kill would register 2% gained due to rounding)
31 it was a solid 2% per kill
32 2% per kill
33 1.667% (2% for 2 kills, 1% every 3rd kill)
34 1% (I only killed her 3-4 times to feel out the new wolf pet, then moved to Guk.)
Being OCD like I am, it wasn't enough to just guesstimate *this is good exp/this is not good exp*. However, knowing the predictable gains-per-kill took every last drop of fun out of grinding. A simple calculator could tell me:
avg 30 secs to kill target
avg respawn time of 6:30
= 7 min cycle
7mins * X amt of exp= A minutes
A min/60= # hours to lvl.
