This is my favorite method for farming and a very efficient way of farming legendaries/blood shards in diablo 3: ros.
Grift (greater rift)stagger farming.
Step 1.
First open greater rift level of your choosing. Lower the rift level the level more you can farm. Preferable to start on grift level 1 and move on to 2,3 and to just keep going up level by level.

Step 2.run past the first large packs you see in the first level of the greater rift. you will want to leave some packs at the beggining of the grift to finish off later.
Step 3. Continue clearing out the grift ( except for the packs you left at the beggining of the grift lvl 1) clear out the grift until u have reached around 95%.
Step 4. Town portal back to town.
Step 5. Start completing bounties until the grift timer gets to about 3 min 30 seconds this will only advance the greater rift 1 level.
You can now teleport back to town freely without worrying about the greater rift. That is why we leave the packs in the beginning of greater rift lvl 1.
You can also easily check the time on the greater rift by teleporting back to town and entering the greater rift portal whenever you want.
Step 6. When the time on the greater rift has reached 3 min 30 seconds return to the rift via greater rift portal in town and clear out the monsters you left at the beginning of the grift.
Step. 7 kill rift guardian
Step 8. Rinse and repeat
This method can be done at any difficult but higher difficulty's will yield better rewards while doing bounties.
