XP penalty really that nasty?
so me and a friend are starting together, and i finally figured out what i would be doing which was making a SK (for SK/shaman group duo) and leveling with him while he was on, and leveling a necro in my own time or when we are on seperately... but it looks like i will be playing the SK full time since i will be getting half the xp as him? Thats a little harsh... or does it even it and i wont really be able to notice it?

In a group, the EXP penalties/bonuses are split amongst the group members so that everyone levels at the same rate. So you won't have to play your SK any more than he plays his shaman.

From what I understand it takes all the bonus's and penalties from everyones race/class in the group and splits it even so that everyone move the same on there xp bar.
So for example a person with no penalties needs an even 100% of an exp bar to level, then take for example a human SK who needs 140% to get through that same level (because he has a 40% penalty). Since all of your xp penalty/bonus are divided and evened out amongst the group, then in that example if the 2 of were to duo/group, the 2 of you would split his 40% penalty and you would end up taking half of it. So basically you would be looking at 120% exp per level if the 2 of you were to group all the time. If he was a troll or Ikky SK its something like 67% I think? Which would then split you guys at like 133.5% or something like that? I think the whole idea behind is so that friends of any race/class combo can play together, and never have to worry about one out leveling the other. If a full group of 6 people, all different class/race combos with diff penalties and bonus's, all grouped together everyday and ONLY grouped with each other, they would all ding 60 @ the exact same time, apparently. At least thats how its been explained to me several times ever since the exp penalties were put in a while ago. | ||

Lol Id troll over Ikky myself, but thats just cause it would be such a pain in the ass to most of the time having to go all the way to kunark just to train and such since there isnt all that many vendors that sell to ikky in old world yeah?

Id prefer DE of all of them, more int so you can solo a bit easier when hes not on. But I guess you have the necro so youll be playin that when he isnt online.

Its brutal on hell levels. If you group a lot, its not a big deal, but it is noticeable.
