Oldschool player giving it a try

Definately not true. My mage always did only a tiny amount of damage while he had a yellow pet. Yet XP was really really flying. From 4 to 7 in about 3 hours, solo without any twink gear. No other class that i leveled has been that fast. And i NEVER outdamaged my pet.

I just wish to hell a Dev would get on here and explain it. This debate has been going on for over a year. Is it 50% or 75%, or something in between? I suspect it is 50%.

I think we can all pretty much agree on having to do 51% damage now for full XP. And it does seem to go away in a group as long as someone does some damage. And no you can't be in different zones anymore it seems.

Shouldn't this be pretty easy to figure out? Go somewhere and kill something that will give a few percent worth of xp with a known level. Then, kill it again with pet and only doing a little amount of damage personally. If it gives the same percent of xp, then there's your answer.

The mechanic is as follows: if you're solo and your pet outdamages you, it will steal 50% of the experience for that kill.
