I am aware of the rezzers not giving xp upon second kill. My question is that a game wide thing.
I dont have any non 50s atm. I just play my 5-6 mains and thats about it. So i was thinking or rolling a new toon and i was gonna PL in the freakshow dreck farm map in live play not ae. Do i still get xp on second kill?

I havent made a new toon in about 5 months so i am not aware what the situation is on xp farming.

thanks for any info advice

Someone correct me if I am wrong but I think that nerf only applies to custom creations in AE. Not to using standard enemies in AE or to the game at large outside AE. So I believe the answer is yes you will get XP for killes of rezzed bosses in regular missions.

Its just in the AE.

I can specifically confirm the Freakshow give XP when you defeat them after a rez in the regular game. Granted, based on the patch notes I was expecting them to anyway, but I've played dev missions with them after the patch and confirmed they are giving XP after they rez.


M.A. Arcs
Intended for high level play: The Primus Trilogy (Arc #s 10931, 283821, 283825), "Freakshow U" (Arc #189073), Purification (Arc #352381, Dev's Choice! )
Intended for low level play: "Learning the Ropes" (Arc #100304), "Cracking Skulls" (Arc #115935), "The Lazarus Project" (Arc #124906)

I can also confirm this.

However, I use herostats - and I can tell you that you're still better off in AE if all your after is xp.

I guess it could depend on your build, but several folks have already adjusted their farm arcs to ensure the baddies no longer rez.

On the dreck map, I get about 600 -700 prestige per minute, and in AE, i get about 1700 -1800 now. That's probably slower than some of the more uber builds out there, but it works for me.

XP will more than likely follow the same pattern. The only advantage to the dreck map is the 888 baddies on the map (bosses count for 2) is the chance of a purple. I'm getting probably an average of 2 to 3 every 7 runs. The sad part is that they are almost always a hold, immobilize, stun or confusion.
