Pet xp

[BigLe2e]

I took a break back when the pet xp was changed to if the pet out dps's you then it takes something like 75% of the exp or whatever the figure was. Is that still in effect or is the number different now? Thanks :)

If pet does 50% or more dmg he takes 50% exp

Cool thank you for clarifying

So... how do chanters get full xp when charming?

[Boomlaor]

break charm when pet close to death, kill pet, kill other mob

I have heard that pets don't take any exp at all in groups unless they do 100% of the damage (ie if you do 0 damage your pet will still take 50% exp). Can anyone confirm/deny?

he takes 75% of the xp

If you are grouped, the pet does not take xp, so long as you have done at least 1 point of damage. When the pet nerf went in, it was explained that, "this does not apply if you are grouped." For a time people could group across zones with random people and avoid the penalty, but I believe that has been fixed.

even as a duo, there is no pet penalty. only applies to solo.

You oo you.

[Raavak]

That would be an exploit, btw.

[tekniq]

thought they fixed that...i know they did on red months ago.

[Atmas]

Did you really think this would be a good place to ask that question?

Does this change ever get reverted? Seems like this basically ruins the game for the lowbies. And some of us simply cant group most of the time.

Was noticing some exp discrepancies last night with my brother's necro. But it was at low level so that could be part of it. He'd let his pet kill a monster for about 90% of the way, then lifetap it down and get less than with some dots loaded up on it. Sort of hard at low levels as the pet adds a considerable chunk of DPS for the lowbies.

For a lowbie mage it's not a big deal: you just need to reclaim your pet when the monster is fleeing and finish it off yourself. This consumes one malachite per kill, but if you're smart about what you kill you should be OK money-wise. For a lowbie necro you can do most of the damage to the mob yourself with dots, lifetaps, etc.
