question about AE mission exp gain

I was playing an ae mission. I was gaining about 900 exp at level 21 then I lvled and the exp gain was 105. I finished the mission and restarted it and I notice that the exp gain was the same 105. The enemies are +4 over my level. Any idea wants going on?

What enemy types were you fighting?

At level 21, fighting +4s may not be your fastest gain per hour anyway.

What would you suggest?

Are they Underlings? Perhaps under a certain level Underlings give minion xp and you're now above that level?

Standard "max gain per hour" is about +2. At +4 you're doing 48% damage, you hit something like 2/3 as often depending on slotting, and in a lot of cases the max XP is actually capped. It used to be that you didn't get more XP for fighting a +5 than you did for fighting a +4; they changed the XP things gave, and last time I tried to unravel it I got confused. Sometimes +4s give no more XP than +3s.

Underlings have always given weird XP anyway.

Also, at 21 you don't even have SOs. You can fight difficult content, but do so because you want to, don't expect to blow through it for best leveling speed.

I've been in AE missions where I outleveled a mob ranking (Say I'm lvl 31 and the only minions in the mission are 5-30 and stop spawning) and took the large hit in xp for not having a complete set of minions/Lts/Bosses. I've never tried to fight spiderlings exclusively so I have no idea if that'd be applicable here.
