Individually, yes, it's fucking rough.

Level 45 alone was some retarded amount of time on my paladin. I can't even imagine what a Troll or Iksar SK is like on a hell level.

From what I understand it takes all the bonus's and penalties from everyones race/class in the group and splits it even so that everyone move the same on there xp bar.

So for example a person with no penalties needs an even 100% of an exp bar to level, then take for example a human SK who needs 140% to get through that same level (because he has a 40% penalty). Since all of your xp penalty/bonus are divided and evened out amongst the group, then in that example if the 2 of were to duo/group, the 2 of you would split his 40% penalty and you would end up taking half of it. So basically you would be looking at 120% exp per level if the 2 of you were to group all the time. If he was a troll or Ikky SK its something like 67% I think? Which would then split you guys at like 133.5% or something like that?

I think the whole idea behind is so that friends of any race/class combo can play together, and never have to worry about one out leveling the other. If a full group of 6 people, all different class/race combos with diff penalties and bonus's, all grouped together everyday and ONLY grouped with each other, they would all ding 60 @ the exact same time, apparently. At least thats how its been explained to me several times ever since the exp penalties were put in a while ago.

It's really worth it at level 60 if you're going to play a good deal. The regen rates - feigned, sitting, or standing, are distinctly higher for Trolls and Iksar than they are for other races.

Iksar and Troll have the same Regen.

Lol Id troll over Ikky myself, but thats just cause it would be such a pain in the ass to most of the time having to go all the way to kunark just to train and such since there isnt all that many vendors that sell to ikky in old world yeah?

[Caridry]

well if he rolls barbarian shaman, ill go dark elf... if he goes ikky shaman, ill go ikky with him =D

[VincentVolaju]

Id prefer DE of all of them, more int so you can solo a bit easier when hes not on. But I guess you have the necro so youll be playin that when he isnt online.

Its brutal on hell levels. If you group a lot, its not a big deal, but it is noticeable.
