Powerleveling a warrior with a magician

I could be wrong, but I was always under the impression that if you let a pet do 99% of the damage, suicide it... and let someone else get the last 1% that technically you've done no damage and don't get the XP.

Exactly. You can do this continuously (barring malachites) since the pet should be pretty full on hp giving you full mana back.

This same mechanic was always annoying soloing at times too since you let pet get mob down to low hp, reclaim pet, and small nuke for full exp. Inevitably some melee runs by trying to be helpful and finishes the mob for you and takes the exp too on accident

What everyone else said, I can verify this, I had a PL session on my warrior several months back with a 60 mage. Just make sure the warrior can kill the mob without a train

Thanks everyone for the advice, will try it shortly!

Once we are both of the same level, do you think it would be possible for us to do some kind of duo? I know it's not the best combo, but I was thinking I could have him melee (no taunting) with my pet. When he gets low HP, he backs off, letting my pet tank, while bandaging, then goes back into the action once he's at 50% HP. What do you guys think?

Being a mage you should be able to handle things solo, so the warrior adding more DPS and bandaging every few fights should work just fine.

Yeah it is not the most effective combo, but when you want xp you can't always have the best structured groups! That is what EQ is all about, making due with what you have access to. the best would be joisting in and out as the warrior while the pet tanks. Mage nuking here and there
