As long as you do any damage at all, your pet will never take the 75% experience share. Make sure you do a bit of damage, and your summoned or regular charmed pets won't take a single point of experience.

Where do you take that information from?

Kanras: Classic pet experience distribution.

Today:

0% damage --> 0 xp

<50%damage --> 25% xp

>51% damage --> 100% xp

Same goes for charmed pets in and outside of groups.

There are atleast 3 huge threads about this topic.

Thanks Kasilis for clearing it up. I said pretty much the same thing in my first thread. You only get 25% XP solo now on a Mage. That is why I have stopped playing mine and my Enchanter solo. Pet agro is next to useless.

They have pretty much thrown two of my toons under the bus now for soloing. I can outdamage my Necro pet so that seems to work. But having 1/4 of the XP I used to get just sucks on my Mage.

When I charm an animal with my druid alt, I keep aggro with lots of "snare" casted on the mob and my pet is doing 100% of the dmg. I still get XP !

All wrong. This is how it works:

If all pets combined deal 51% of the damage to a mob or more, they steal 50% of the experience. That is all.

Class breaking change. That is all.

Yeah but you don't get what you should.

Changing it on live was one of the best and simplest things they've done. Removing that change here was a bad idea.

You missed the whole point of his thread. If we use the rule posted above (and he quoted the patch notes), he "should" be getting ZERO XP. He said his pet is doing ALL damage to the mob and he is still getting XP, which tells me the quoted patch notes are either wrong or this guy is doing some damage.

Can you drop your pet and get full exp?

Sure.

Went through some of the older p99 patch notes, looks like this change was already put in ages ago

Patch Notes, February 18th, 2010
- Rogean: Pets doing 50% of the damage to a mob will now take 50% of xp If ungrouped.

And some other pet changes....

http://www.project1999.org/forums/sh...ad.php?t=11843

Haynar: Pets should now dual wield again for all pet levels summoned by the appropriate spells. (Use to have to equip pets 2 weapons at lvl 24 for them to duel wield, and at 39 they use to be auto duel wield without equipping)

http://www.project1999.org/forums/sh...ad.php?t=16165

Bumamgar: Pets will no longer be added to hatelist of engaged mobs during passive aggro checks. This prevents mobs that are FD on a group/raid from aggroing pets first. (not sure what this one means, i think mobs in range of pets use to always jump the pets before PCs)

http://www.project1999.org/forums/sh...ad.php?t=33579

Kanras: Pets will no longer automatically dual wield at a certain level. (translation is that no pet will duel wield unless you put weapons on it)

http://www.project1999.org/forums/sh...ad.php?t=45360

Kanras: Pets will use same calculations as PCs when doing double attack/dual wield rolls. (Translation, all pet overall dmg has been reduced, they use to be hitting and kicking/bashing for 40+ most the time, now they are pansy)
