Have to do 1 pt of damage for pet to not steal all the exp?
 

I already knew about the needing to do more than 50% of mob's health to avoid the pet taking 50% exp

However, I was under the impression you could still get some exp even if the pet did 100% of the damage

Is this true? Because it seemed like I was not getting ANY exp until I started using a level 1 spell to deal at least 1 point of damage. Is this all in my head or do you need to do at least 1 point of damage to avoid the pet taking 100% exp?

correct. think this was done to combat pet classes afk lvling

That sounds wrong, unless there's something special going on for low level characters. From personal experience I can report that I've gotten XP while never dealing even a single (direct) point of damage to a mob. From the wiki's pet guide:

I was playing a new mage this morning, just dinged lvl 4. Pretty sure I was getting xp for pet doing full damage. But I did log off shortly after, would need to check again.

Confirmed on Green lvl 4 gnome mage, was getting xp doing no damage.

use ur lvl 1 nuke )

On blue you would get exp.

Through more extensive testing I have confirmed I still get exp (although only 50%) with pet doing 100% of damage

They way I know? I eventually dinged lol

I always thought you had to at least do 51% of the damage to the mob to get the full exp, and doing less than that meant the pet to eat a percentage of it.

We were looking into pets doing most of the damage in a group and it cutting everyone's xp

Sorta lost interest in the pursuit, cuz, ya

Same with the fixing torpor thing
