Certain race/class combos DO penalize the entire group. That doesn't mean they should be left out, but it's how the game works. There's a thread up somewhere about the EXP mechanics. It's not exactly what I mentioned, but in effect it's very nearly the same thing. The bottom line is that the EXP is split up to the group to make everyone level at roughly the same rate regardless of individual penalties/bonuses.

Wrong.

Certain Races / Classes have an XP penalty. There is NO penality applied to the group. The way the mechanic works is based on the overall XP the char has earned.

Because classes with the 40% (or any other pen) require MORE xp to be a specific level, the XP is broken up in a way that the group receives less.

This however ONLY applies if the class in question actually has more total xp than the rest of the people in the group.

If you invited a 40% xp class to your group, that was 5 levels lower than everyone else, they wouldn't be penalizing the group in the slightest.

For what it's worth, I don't find it hard to -keep- aggro. I find it hard to get initial aggro, for sure, since we are entirely reliant on procs. There is at least one way to get around that but it takes a very patient mage.

Kunark will fix the taunt issue.

Oh, and I'd suggest using Bladed Thulian Claws if you can get a hold of them, when I was leveling up, I had no problem holding agro because of how fast they were, not because of procs.

BTW - I finally used a PGT for the first time last night on a level 18 character. Man that's an awesome weapon for a low level character (wish I had used it from level 10)...It blocks like 60 damage or so a proc, and procs frequently...

Hey neckbeards debating mechanics and comparing willy sizes with your "logic" trying to contradict one another. Who gives a shit. Go fuck up some frogloks. /win

Hey guys, big nalkin here just dropping by to say warriors suck SK's rule. You won't catch me in a group with a warrior tank, can the same be said about you? Think it over~

[Dantes]

Yeah but they have that 600% exp penalty that takes exp from all of their group members. Horrible stuff, that exp penalty. I hear that rare mobs spawn less when SKs are in your group too, and if they do they are less likely to drop the rare loot [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]
