Pets and Experience.

[Jameshpulse]

Do pets suck experience away just curious?

[Uaellaen]

yes 75% if you do no damage, if you do 1 damage they wont

[Kambris]

Uaellaen is correct. Even if you only do 1 damage to the mob, you will get full exp for the kill. The same concept is applied to damage shields.

Somebody once told me that you have to do more than 50% of the damage your pet has dealt in order to get full exp from the mob. I'd never played a pet class before so I believed him. Jesus christ did that fuck my solo efficiency in the ass. Don't listen to bastards like that.

My goodness, instead of hitting 50 before my melee friends hit 30, I hit 50 before they hit 35. Don't listen to turkeys like that.

ninja PG-13 editing.

This is because that's how it was in classic, and up until POP.

Q: How do pets affect the experience earned, both while soloing and while in a group?
A: When soloing if the pet does over 50% damage it takes 50% of the experience. When grouped pets take a flat 1% of the experience.

Q: Does the type of pet determine how much experience is taken in a kill?
A: The type of pet chosen has no direct influence on how much experienced is derived from each kill. However, different pets have different damage outputs, and mobs such as water or air pets can do large damage quickly, easily doing over 50% of the overall damage which does reduce the experience obtained from killing the mob.

JUNE 5, 2002

Pets take 75% of the experience from a creature if no player does damage to that creature.
Pets take ZERO experience from a creature unless no player does damage to that creature.
The exception to the above rule is Dire Charmed pets, which will take a share of the experience scaled by the amount of damage they do. In most situations (with an active party, for example) the Dire Charmed pet will not take experience. Like all pets, they will take 75% of the experience if no PC does damage to the target. As long as a player does damage to a creature, a Dire Charmed pet will never take more experience than it used to.

Of course none of that will be changed because the Devs don't want it that way. This is their house, not ours.

Down boy. You're attacking a purely factual answer to a question. No opinion involved.

I find you rather harsh. I do agree that the Dev have changed some stuff compared to how it was on classic (rune of sword not prooccing on everything, impossiblity to escape mobs by running...) however I don't believe the topic here has anything to do with what they want but more with what they can do. Remember, they don't touch the code but instead have access to a huge database where they can tweak this and that (any Dev please correct me if I'm wrong). And I do believe that this is linked to the code, not the data. Don't ask me why, it's just a gutt-feeling.

Kind regards,
Nagash
