Pet 50% dmg = no exp?

Rough thing for enchanters too. Charm is dangerous enough after THAT nerf, let alone for half the reward now. And even when using the animation we only have two lines of damage spells (one weak dot, one average DD) at low/mid levels. Out dpsing anything is not our forte...

This change didn't go in till PoP. It was a nerf to Enchanter's charm during that time. Before then if you did not do 1 point of damage the pet would take half but you did not have to do half of the damage till PoP. I remember because I was an Enchanter that would solo with charm during PoP. Before that patch I would get close to a yellow and half of exp per mob I killed and after I got about 3 blue. So before then you had to do 1 point of damage to get full exp or the pet would take half of the exp.

Making pets indifferent would sure help shamen too. We'd be able to pull out a pet and run through lower level dungeons like Permafrost without our pup aggroing every green mob in sight.

That change would cause more problems than it fixed.

I never tested this but always assumed it was still true so I always made sure I did some damage to every mob my dog was fighting. Apparently it was not necessary.
