Well, your side addresses the reason for the change which I totally agree with.

My side addresses that they dont need to make everything "classic" and its clear that they have no intentions (plans on custom content as to not nerf druids / wizards.)

So in the big scheme of things
I, as a mage, can drop my lvl 1 nuke for a more beneficial spell, not have to worry about doing any damage whatsoever, or more so having to worry about if i remember to cast a nuke, and get an extra 25% more exp than before and let the pet do all the work and just cast the occasional heal and kill twice as many mobs
doesnt seem that bad to me
To the same degree, welcome back afk camping?

There is no reason you should have been forgetting to deal 1 damage, this statement is either trolling or written by the worst player ever (ill go with trolling). This change is AWFUL, it effectively halves the efficiency of a mage. Im not sure of the effects on other classes as i dont have experience with them, but im sure its a factor for them as well. Mages are meant to be fast soloers, i understand if they were wanting to nerf that, but by 50%?! The rule may be classic, but if the rest of the pet mechanics arent working properly, classic is kind of out the window.

I think what he's saying is you can do nothing now and make more XP than before, but to make full XP you have to do way more.

AFK camping is back.

Apparently, according to the Wiki game mechanics and my experience in game where fighting with the pet seemed more than 50%, the nerf is actually still 75% less exp if you do under 50% damage.

So basically the rule changed from having to do 1 damage to having to do over 50% to get full exp, otherwise you get 25%.

Really I started this thread wishing for some verification as to how the mechanic is working (to help find a way around it), so it would be good if we had some official word on it at some point.

Classic would be 50% if you do no damage.

Interesting, as others have mentioned, this boosts afk exping I had thought afk exping was against the rules, but I guess it is just "frowned upon"?

Should be cause for account deletion.

I should probably mention that I am not suggesting mages go out and afk exp. I am just pointing out that they have given a boost to those who would do such a thing.
