Seriously?

[Bloodson]

I wouldn't make a rant thread if I thought I had done something wrong either, just sayin

A lot of people here don't know that nuking a mob under 50% will most likely the steal the guy for some reason.

Even if a mob is at 1% hp, if you nuke it with a spell that does more than 50% of the mob total hp you will kill steal.

[Argh]

If a mob has 500hp and you nuke it with a spell that does 500 damage you are going to steal exp regardless of how much damage the other bozos did. The full damage of the nuke counts toward your damage done not just how much hp the mob had left.

This doesn’t seem like it could be accurate ... but I’ve been wrong before.

You're wrong now.

That may be the case but I’d not take one person at their word for it. It’s easy enough to test though. Low level zone have a person bring a mob to 10-20% health and then slam a nuke larger than the mobs total hp and see who gets loot rights.

That doesn't sound right, Argh. I'll test it out when I get off off work.

I didn't know this until very recently, but a similar thing happened to me in WC on some orcs i was tagging for faction:

An SK (lvl ~17ish) was farming belts there, i hit the mob with my 2HB Monk stick for about 250dmg at 40-45% hp and he couldn't loot the corpse.

We were talking about similar issues a bit earlier in a guild group in PoHate, namely how it is possible to get exp on raids with big nukes, even though doing less than 50% dmg to the mobs.

I just confirmed this on a puma I had a low level bring down to 4%. Notice how I did 612 damage to a mob that has 75hp.

Yeah Argh is right. It applies to any damage, not just spells. I.e. you wait till a mob gets to 49%, then melee it while the lowbie watches, but when it has 1hp left you hit it for 90 damage pushing you over the 51% damage threshold and you KS it.
