ok cool .. thanks for the clarification. Had me worried there hehe.

AND ANOTHER THING! (heh)

This doesnt effect how XP is gained in missions?

doesnt that basicly make this whole thing a fairly worthless change? if you want to PL someone, now you just have to do it inside a mission.. which.. incidently.. is how most PLing is done these days anyway.

ya know what.. actually.. if you have to damage mobs to gain XP, then this system is broken already.

What are support classes supposed to do? Ya know alot of defenders and controllers.. their only job in a big group is to keep people alive through buffs and heals. Are you now saying that these people should not get any XP from the mobs killed? What about a MC/FF controller who does nothing but Bubble teammates and cast mass hypnosis? Does he have to open the fight with total domination in order to get XP? what if it doesnt hit every mob in the group.. he only gets XP for the ones it hits?

What about low level players who have been sidekicked and do not have access to AOEs yet :P.

it just doesnt make sense.. I hope im just not understanding this correctly.

Well that still didnt quite answer my question.

its like this. Say im an illusion controller (which I am) and im teamed with a fire tank.

During the course of one fight against 20 mobs.. I killed two of them using my spectral wounds and blind (single target attacks) and the fire tank killed the other 18 using his burn.

We were both standing right next to each other so the range changes do not effect it.

My question is.. Will I now only get XP for the two mobs I killed? or will I still get XP for the entire 20 mobs.. even though I only did damage to 20 of them?

If I only get XP for the mobs that I damaged.. teaming is going to be useless for anyone who isnt AOE based.

This thread is really long so i didnt read all of it.. if this has already been asked, sorry.

I just wanted to clarify something.

If im in a group fighting.. and Im attacking one guy.. and the rest of my group is using AOEs.. Do I only get the XP for the one guy I attacked, or will i receive XP for the whole mob?

I imagine id receive XP for the whole mob.. otherwise this whole system would be broken from the get go.
