Calling all Charm Killing Pro's

Keep in mind you shouldn't actually be doing 51% damage to the enemy mob while solo. You should get both mobs down to 10%, break charm, and nuke them down

Im skeptical. Ive healed plenty of times for groups where i did zero damage and got exp. Clerics regularly do this

You specifically don't have to do any damage, just someone in the group. If you're referring to a cleric/enchanter duo, for example, where no player melee damage is done, damage is being dealt to the mob through spells such as DoTs, nukes, etc.

Thank you very little

I answered the question correctly...

Actually in a group you do in fact get 100% of the xp even if the pet does 100% of the work.

This is why ench/cleric is the power combo for xp'ing as an ench.

There's no need to do even 1 point of damage yourself if you are grouped.

Incorrect.

Incorrect.

Agreeing to disagree I suppose.

I've played two charmers and a cleric to 60. I know what i am talking about.

You're way over thinking this.

Solo: You (not your pet) need to do 51% of the damage to a target to get full Exp.
Group: Anyone (not a pet) does 1 point of damage to a target to get full Exp.

The game doesn't care if you're duo or trio or 6-manning, it just checks if you are in a group and in the same zone.

He's right except when grouped, pet can do 100% of damage when grouped and you will get full exp, as jmc pointed out.

I've never tested without at least some sort of debuff or other effect being cast on the mob, so maybe if you literally do nothing you might not get exp. But as enchanter/cleric I just root, slow, and send pet, cleric heals, mob dies, we get full exp.

Hmm, I'm willing to wager a debuff wouldn't be enough - if there isn't at least 1 point of player-dealt damage then it will not only not give exp, but the corpse will poof as well - just as any NPC corpse does when an NPC slays an NPC. A damage shield on the pet wouldn't count as player damage either.

Not sure about the rest but this is definitely inaccurate. I've done tons of kills without dealing any direct damage and they all yield exp.

That wasn't the question. The question was how much.

Please stop guessing :P

This is false, there is no corpse poofing when a charmed pet does 100% damage any more than there is when a mage pet does 100% damage.

The 1 point of damage for exp in a group thing applied on live, but as far as anybody knows it is not the case on P99.
