Howdy. You might already know this, but I figure I'll help if I can. I just did a climb with Joshie and Boss where they were both casting, and McClain and I were attacking with melee. We noticed that when the casters used their Multicast ability by ctrl+click they would get experience for the first mob killed and the last, but none in between. Eventually it came to McClain and I pulling ahead by over 6 levels before we realized. I'm not sure if this was intentional, but I figure I'd inform. Truthfully love the update, and think it adds much more to the game then click click.

Please post on the LS forums about this, they can explain why. Thanks

In response to a few posts, the only reason I've asked this is because it wasn't like this yesterday when we did a couple climbs. Joshie had about 4500 actions showing on his character in our group while McClain only had 1500 and yet Joshie was more than six levels behind. If a person attacks multiple monsters (aka ctrl+click) there is a delay to be able to do anything else, I'm sure to compensate for the multiple attack bonus, but if they aren't getting experience for the attacks, then it would be faster for them to attack once per second casting individual monsters.
No, it's quite simple, less actions = less experience. 1 cast = 1 action, whether it's a group target or not.
Afk, removing group casting, since it's such a big nerf.

This has not changed since 1.20 was released.

Then why was experience not an issue yesterday? The same exact tactics were used in 2 cata climbs yesterday and we never had this issue.

Because you were killing faster (less hits). Casting is still sick, and I am deeply disturbed by yours and others complaints.

First of all, I'm not complaining. I'm was just inquiring as to why this was. I do think casting is great, but I can't see the benefit of it if the only reason to be casting (multicasting) doesn't give you any experience. Why do you say casting is still sick?

Rofl, k, go single cast or melee only, and stop wasting my time.
Since you've now blocked me from PMs, I'll make a post because I know you read them. I wasn't trying to waste your time. I was trying to get you to stop wasting ours. Why don't you just tell us why casting is so good instead of getting upset when we say it isn't? Why not just explain the game you expect us to play before getting upset at us because we are frustrated for not knowing how to play? Our frustrations should only encourage you to try and help us understand as gamers what we are supposed to do or what we are possibly doing wrong!
