I'll make this quick,

At the NRO derv camp 2 days ago me and my wife were virtually identical on exp at level 10. I am a Delf Wiz she is a Freeport Human Necro. After no deaths on either of our parts and 3 hours at the camp, I was more then 3 blues higher then her in exp, where due to our class and race combo's we should have the same penalty.

So I am not sure if I gained exp to fast or her to slow.

Update, today at WC Derv group we again had almost the same exp but gained it at about the same rate from levels 11 to 13.

Thank you,

Seshen (wiz)

Sounds like she had an unrezzed death?

Necros get a -10% exp penalty, Humans get no bonus exp.
Wizards don't have a penalty?

Pets take a small amount of exp

Necros get a -10% exp penalty, Humans get no bonus exp.
Wizards don't have a penalty?

Wizards and Necros have a 10% penalty.

Pets can take a percentage of the exp if they deal more than 51% of the damage, to my knowledge.

Does the game award more exp based off damage done for players? I seem to recall this being a problem for healers until it was patched that they got exp off healed damage or something.

It would make sense, seeing as how a necro damages things pretty slowly compared to a Wizard. I imagine the DoTs are still doing damage when the mob is beat down all silly-like.

Never remember that. Only remember something like that having issues with WOW pvp honor.
