Why I don't like to group

[Overcast]

I was just rambling pre-coffee mostly. lol

But yeah.. I know XP does seem better solo. Regardless of mechanics, it just does.

I thought I recalled - from live, the same issue coming up and some changes being done to group XP to 'promote more grouping'. I might be wrong though, it could have been much later in the game on Live.

But on the Wizard, I played one for a while. I found it was best to just toss a nuke or two in a group, increasing DPS just a bit each mob, keeping 75+ mana, then if things got 'dicey' I could pick a target and pretty much destroy it.

I've been going back and forth between the Shaman and SK. In both cases the groups I was in the - XP was decent enough in a group to warrant not soloing, but it does require a good group and an area with enough mobs to make a group worth it..

Won't debate the XP group vs. solo thing, because for many classes (not all) solo will always be better XP. I'd even dropped groups in PoP and further with the Necro, because often I could solo what the group was killing - if I had room.
