Ecery pet summoning class knows that his pets are going to steal some xp off of the mobs he kills. There's a RA to limit this. But what i've experienced leaves me wondering.
Hunting in Varulvhamn as a split spec lev 32 Bonedancer (18 supp for first healer, rest BA with 24 spec soldier).
Killing an orange con werewolf churl while using one soldierpet and one healer, and having cast only 2 spells (base dot and spec dot) pet gave me 4,200,000 xp (inlcuding full camp bonus, somewhat near 1,200,000).
Killing a RED con werewolf scruff (higher level than the churl of before) while using TWO PET HEALERS (otherwise my commander would have died) and having cast 4 dots (2 spec ones and 2 base ones) gave me LESS XP : 3,200,000 including full camp bonus of that same 1,200,000 .
As written in the 'intended behaviour', i would like you to investigate in the mechanics which made so that a lower level monster gave me more xp than a higher level one, in which case i myself participated more.
1. Create a BD, level it to 32 to access to double subpet, spend 18 points into suppression to obtain the first healer pet, and spend all the rest into BoneArmy to reach the level 24 soldier subpet
2. Hunt an orange con monster with full camp bonus while using one healer pet and one soldier pet
3. Hunt a red con monster with full camp bonus while using two healer pets, and compare the xp results
Either it seems that meleeing a monster gives more xp than casting directdamaging spells on it, or maybe it is the healing that steals much more xp in general, or maybe it's the dot xp mechanism which is wrongly accounted for, because seeing what i've experienced, it seems like it is working in the opposite way.
I should of have gotten more xp in the RED MONSTER CASE, no matter what. I should have reached the cap xp with a red con monster, while solo, independently from the camp bonus. What i've seen is that there was a difference of more than one million xp between the two cases, favouring the lower orange con monster.
Reference also goes to issue #0643 which partially may confirm what i had.
Suppression specced bonedancer may also see this issue while using one guardian and one healer.
Can't provide screenshots stating what i described because they may be misinterpreted without time confirmation or continuity, and i also don't have a powerful enough machine to be able to record videos, sorry. You will sadly have to believe me on words or have someone else try it and provid the proofs.
This may delay the confirmation, or it may be quickly skipped because of too much text or 'shrug.. who cares of just ONE case'....
