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.

I was going to post this, but you did a good job.
[You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.] More people need to understand it instead of repeating what other people tell them without anything to back it up. It's all on our very own wiki. Either way, I'm sure everyone is awaiting the day the class penalties are removed. I know I am, but also I really don't care that much, it's more the other people that I want to get over it. I am not in a huge rush as I enjoy seeing a lot of places and learning things I didn't know before. Personally, I don't have many issues, but there have been a couple occasions where I get straight up ignored. I mean come on it's not that hard to say no or simply state that you just want to solo or duo, etc. It gets to me when people can't say a word, but if I was into role playing then I guess that should make sense being a troll shadowknight. :\ In the groups that I do tank in people are generally happy with the experience so I like to think I am playing the class well. A bad player with a combo with very low or no penalties would be a much worse choice than a hybrid who can do the job right.
I do want to say this though. Let's say for example there is a group full of ALL Troll Shadowknights. Each one would get the same amount of experience and there wouldn't be a problem. Each player would be having their normal XP penalty with all of the group bonuses in place as they should. Some people make jokes on having a group of full hybrids, but actually that would be a perfect split of XP if they all were the same class.
