Can someone explain this: Classic pet experience distribution.

Translation: pets nerfed in dual wield, damage, experience, and aggro.

You missed the whole point of his thread. If we use the rule posted above (and he quoted the patch notes), he "should" be getting ZERO XP. He said his pet is doing ALL damage to the mob and he is still getting XP, which tells me the quoted patch notes are either wrong or this guy is doing some damage.

There's no patch notes that say he should be getting zero XP. That quote is not patch notes. Read my link to official notes about the difference between old and new XP system. Nowhere does it say that pets ever took 100% XP.

Classic pet experience distribution is this, from my link:

For non-dire charmed pets: "In the old scheme, if a pet did more than half of the damage to a monster, it took half the experience reward."

For dire charmed pets: "In the old scheme, if a Dire Charmed pet did more than half of the damage to a monster, it took half of the experience reward."

It's really that simple. Old scheme = classic scheme, which is now what we have unless everyone misread what Kanras said in the patch notes. If the old scheme is not the classic scheme, then what is the classic scheme?

Went through some of the older p99 patch notes, looks like this change was already put in ages ago

Patch Notes, February 18th, 2010
- Rogean: Pets doing 50% of the damage to a mob will now take 50% of xp If ungrouped.

Look very hard at this - I checked, and if I group with someone and they are in another zone, I'm pretty sure I get 100% without doing any dmg to mob.

Check - and huddle together in great big mage solo groups [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

I was quoting what Kasilis wrote as Oct 23 Patch Notes. Guess he mis-quoted then. Glad he's wrong.

This is a pretty good thing to know, thank you.

[pickled_heretic]

Can this be confirmed? Can you group with someone and have the exp penalty be invalidated??

I would praise the lord Rogean if I could get an official response about this.
