please explain the exp hybrid penilty

[Dirtnap]

There used to be an exp split calculator that was floating around the forum for awhile. If you can find it, play around with it and see that penalty classes take more of the split of experience in groups. Thus they will level faster than everyone else in that group.

I have experienced this before: I would be getting less than a percent per kill, and the SK I was grouped with was getting around 1.5% per kill. (He was higher level than my ranger. Thus he was getting a bigger split, and leveling faster than me. If we stuck together long enough, he would out level me.)
