Rogean: Pets doing 50% of the damage to a mob will now take 50% of xp If ungrouped.

It's almost impossible to nuke the mob to 50% without taking aggro and it's also extremely mana inefficient since magicians rely on their pet for most of the damage.

I spend most of my mana healing my fire pet because his damage shield vastly outdamages my best nuke.

I've looked through the patch notes and couldn't find any reference for the 75% unless at least 1 damage.

Is it still 50% when soloing?

1 point of damage will net you full experience. If you do no damage to a mob, you'll get 25% of the experience, your pet taking 75%. It was changed around alot due to afk levellers at the time.

Is this in a patch note somewhere?

This is what I was under the impression of too but I can't seem to find anything to back it up at the moment. I know it was posted by a dev.

It's unfortunate that I have to waste a spell gem just to nuke for 4 damage.

I always imagined I was getting more exp when I nuked once. But it could also be my imagination. As I said earlier, I use most of my mana on healing instead of nuking. I'm a magician, not a wizard.

I can vouch for that mechanic working. While I was leveling off spectres in feerrot, I would snare/dot them and then fear them while the pet killed it. With just using my Darkness snare as damage I was receiving full experience.

There we go! I knew I'd seen/heard that. Just couldn't find where it was.

I fluked out. Did a search and something triggered my memory. I started a few weeks before Sol Ro was released, and that's when all the hubbub about afk levelling was around. Especially with exp being zone-wide, hah.

yes, having to stand up to nuke for 4 damage is an awful thing to have to do. /sarcasm off

is a magician really complaining about their leveling experience?
