wow some ignorant people posting about the exp penalty in this thread


Having a paladin in your group doesn't automatically mean his penalty hits you as well just for grouping with him, that's not the way it works. His exp penalty just means that he is required to get 40% more exp per level than non-penalty classes, which gives him a higher TOTAL AMOUNT OF EXP than most other non-penalty classes of the same level.

When the game is cutting the exp up into slices between group members, it decides who gets the bigger slice by checking who has the highest total exp. In this case, since the paladin has required 40%~ more exp per level than a shaman, he most likely would take more exp than the shaman per kill. In a duo this penalty would hardly be noticeable, unless the paladin is like 3 levels higher than the shaman. In which case you'd probably start noticing the exp flow slow down a bit.


But as many others have already stated, the fact that there are TWO of you should also enable you to kill a lot faster and with less downtime. If you're in a duo with just about any class and gaining exp slower than you would solo...I hate to say this but one of you is most likely a newbie.
