XP penalty vs an XP bonus in grouping.

Not classic.

My opinion, exp bonus = penalty = who cares eat cake and enjoy playing with whoever

Eh, but the person with the least total experience also takes less experience to level.

When you are grouped, everyone should be getting the same percent of their level, barring those who are changing modifiers (hell levels)

That's why I'm trying to say: that's not how it works.

Id like to leave this thread with a question to you all. More of a rhetorical question.


If a rogue and warrior are the only classes, that have an xp bonus... Why are they always getting the least amount of experience in a group, to which they are dependent on and without a fungi at the very least, cant solo?

With this in mind, the xp bonus doesn't exist, since every class has a penalty excluding them. You're telling me that was intended?

This isn't rhetorical. The exp bonus incentivizes a group to take the pure form of the role (dps, tank) over a a hybrid class with more versatility.

Honestly, I'm mad that I rolled a halfling warrior for the xp bonus but I later learned how xp is really gained in a group on p99 and I feel like an idiot for not rolling ogre or troll.

Edit: I sacrificed slam and front stun immunity/regen for absolutely fucking nothing.

Grouping is always an exp penalty for me because I am amazing and nobody else contributes as much, therefore they are simply stealing my exp and slowing me down. I consider it charity work to group and I do a lot of it because it makes me a better person.

I can't. I said that I don't know the formula. What I do know is that I'm a hybrid, and whenever I'm grouped and a non-hybrid says "I got X% exp since we got here", I always have less. I did a hate clear with a level 48 rogue in my group a few weeks back; I got ~10% of my level and he got ~30%. The level 51 (or 52?) in our group was somewhere in the middle.

Slam doesn't matter once you're 55 and Kick interrupts anyway. You can make fair use of your racial bonus if you elect to duo. Find a shaman and get to work.

There may be some glitches with experience averaging, but the system as a whole works fairly well. Leveling my Shadow Knight with my wife's Shaman, we always made exactly the same rate of experience when grouped from level 20 to 60.
