pet exp question

[tingling]

Just want to make sure i am doing this correctly and i also wanted to get the imput of other pet classes...

if you dont do over 50% of the damage the pet takes 50% of the exp correct?

Right now i have been trying to reclaim my pet just before the mob dies to get full exp which work out well if my timing is right. When i get my instant click reclaim it will be much better..

would i be better off letting my pet eat half the exp?

would i be better off trying to out damage my pet?
