Mage nerfs? wat are they

[nalkin]

Hi my name is Nalkin,
I was wondering what are the recent status of mages. I know on red that if you don't do over 50% of your pets damage you lose 50% of xp. Is it like this on blue? Does this ever get lifted?

If Rangers have a 40% exp penalty I guess it's only fair that mages get a 100% exp penalty.

[Caridry]

its the same on blue, and im not sure if it ever got lifted

shesh almighty that is harsh. Dunno how a mag gonna do 50% more damage than a pet efficiently

You're thinking of this wrong. Don't try doing 50% damage to each mob, just kill twice as many mobs. It's still faster leveling than most other classes.

You can also try duoing. If your pet does 49% and your friend's pet does 49%, then a nuke that does 2% will not make either pet steal exp, since the pet hasn't done more than 50% damage.

I have tried duoing and am now heartbroken because of it. I can't go through that emotional turmoil again

I also have had a similar experience.

[Zigfreed]

yes on the 1 damage thing.

It eventually went back to just do 1 dmg and you'll get 100%, but im not sure if that came pre-luclin, so we may never see it be that way here again.
