Do SK's still suffer from the horrid xp penalty?

Indeed they do, unfortunately. But that's the price you play for rolling with the Big Dawgs (worth it).

I heard that exp penalties are removed in Velious? True?

[kaev]

True. Fairly early in Velious, iirc. No doubt the devs already have the specific live patchnote in hand.

They were in live cant remember if it was immediately though never really made sense to give then a penalty to begin with paying for versatility is bs monks and shamans and Druids don't pay for versatility

xp penalties are only a factor if you solo. if you group your penalty is shared by all. as a tank it should be pretty easy to find said group

Had to wait until I caught my breath, was laughing so hard. XP penalty will get you excluded from plenty of groups, just as it did on live. Lotsa people here are more than a little obsessed with their xp/kill, just as they were on live. It's an incredibly stupidly painfully wrongheaded mechanic. I'm so glad they so carefully recreated it here.

never had an issue getitng a group as either pally or sk

For the record xp penalty should be removed in a group, much like pet classes losing pet penalty in group.
