| As you get higher easy mobs start taking longer to kill and you only get 12-36 exp. A tough mob doesnt take much more time and you get 120-140 exp.
With toughs i usually have to melee along with the pet some, and cast debuffs etc so i cant /heal but if i med to full and find the mob i can do an even on even with some debuffs, another even on even with me /heal'in at the beginning and then an even to a tough. Then rinse and repeat. If you do it fast enough you get chain bonus also, thats 320-340 exp before the chain bonus. The only problem is finding mobs...PT's always screwin stuff up.
Later, with ample mobs, better pets and release (from what ive read) its not uncommon to do 5 chains...even with all even mobs thats 500 exp + the bonus which prob brings it to 600 something.
This, combined with the fact that you dont have downtime out of your control (like the whm needing to run the door, the pally needing to eat dinner, LFG in general etc), is what allows a solo BST to level at the same speed as a PT
Also whenever i med to full i grab an easy con pet and let it fight another easy mob...dont get much exp out of it, but its still some for (almost) no effort.
Point being at higher level its better to go for bigger (even+) mobs than easy's. |
