Charm is also REALLY strong in small groups. Find any class that can heal: cleric, shaman, druid... team up, charm something and go to town. Having a healer partner does two great things: 1) it eliminates the XP penalty which means you don't have to break the charm or use mem blur to get good experience.

Oct 23rd update: "Classic pet experience distribution." Oct 23 2011 Patch.

In order to receive full experience for a kill solo, you need to do more than 50% of the damage to the mob. If your pet out-damages you or the group, it will take 50% of the experience away from the kill. This is a major change from the previous system, in which you only needed to do a single point of damage to the mob in order to get full experience. If you are grouped, your group and you will get full xp from the kill.

Propo did a test and grouping eliminates the pet xp penalty.

That's either a bug or the wiki is wrong. Need a dev to confirm this.

It wouldn't be the first time the wiki was wrong, even regarding direct quotes from patch notes. It could also be a bug/oversight that the devs aren't aware of, or more likely just don't care about enough to waste time fixing instead of working on more important things (ie velious! Or raid changes <3)

I don't believe the pet exp penalty implementation here is classic, in fact I believe it is more strict/less pet friendly than we were on a classic timeline. Or so I've heard on the forums (which, well, could be wrong too) Certainly making pet classes less group friendly seems pointless, especially if it wasn't actually a classic mechanic. Who knows, maybe one patch day there'll be a lot of sad clerics & enchanters out there.
