lol..?

I have noticed the ease in which to kill monsters over time when you gain proficiencies... using the same gear.

My gear has not changed much when I was Prof hunting in Sword (now Rank20)...
During the process at certain levels... I have noticed the increase in MCC while doing arena... and also the ease
of welling items at certain levels...

When I had "0" Rank in sword... I could only well items @ level 15
When I had "5" Rank in sword... I could well items easier @ level 15
When I had "10" Ranks in sword... I could well items @ level 20
When I got even better... I could well more effectively... even upto level 30.

Experience is not an issue... it is simple
Feeder Class... In Arena... you either get: 2% / 3% / 4% per monsters (this is not the experience point total... just the percentile per monster)
Unlocked (well upto Monk)... In Arena... you either get: 1% / 2% / 3% per monster

I have to pass to Ninja to notice if there are any different XP percentile per monster killed.

Proficiencies do work... at higher ranks you will notice the difference... and there have been mention about damage comparisons based on the EE cap for Tier levels and Proficiencies... I have yet to confirm this also... but I do trust in some of the information before me...

just keep hitting things and casting ...eventually you level up there is no specific written in stone guide to how it works...IMO first hit and last hit mean nothing its all the hits in between that score +1's

Testing Stage:

Level 23 Monk (2% experience bar)
Staff Prof ... 9838/12000 (Rank11)... using only 80% EE staff
Focus Heal ... 2376/10000 (Rank9) ... using only 77% EE on Acc Slot

Stats:
Str: 40 + 21 (armor)
Dex: 78 (hard points)
Int: 50 + 24 (Main charm)
vit: 40 (base hard)
____________

4 Attacks = 9841 (gain 3)
4 Attacks = 9843 (gain 2)
8 Attacks = 9845 (gain 2)
13 Attacks = 9851 (gain 6)
7 Attacks = 9857 (gain 6)
4 Attacks = 9859 (gain 2)
... Welling TierIV item to lose enough life to test Focus Heal:
... Staff reading: 9871 (includes attacks after healing)

11 Heals = 2382 (gain 6)

4 Attacks = 9874 (gain 3)... 1st attack counted... final attack didn't
7 Attacks = 9878 (gain 4)... 1st attack counted... final attack didn't
5 Attacks = 9881 (gain 3)... 1st attack counted... final attack counted (note... did not get any Profs from 2 of the crit strikes... 200+ dmg)
8 Attacks = 9885 (gain 4)... 1st attack didn't... final attack counted (note... no crit strikes appeared... doing from 80-150 dmg)
9 Attacks = 9891 (gain 6)... 1st attack didn't... final attack counted (note... 1 crit = 200+ = no prof point)
... Break to lose more life to test Focus Heal... Staff reading: 9902

10 Heals = 2388 (gain 6)... 1st heal counted... did not check on last heal

13 Attacks = 9907 (gain 5)... 1st attack didn't... final attack counted (no crits recorded)
11 Attacks = 9912 (gain 5)... 1st and final attack didn't count... (Note: 300 dmg crit counted... looks as if it blew my theory out of the water... unless triple crit counts and dble crits don't)
05 Attacks = 9914 (gain 2)... 1st & final didn't count... (Note: 300 dmg crit [final blow]... did not count... so blows my other theory apart unless it refers to 1st/last hit not counting on crits)
10 Attacks = 9920 (gain 6)... 1st attack didn't... final counted
04 Attacks = 9920 (gain 0)... Note 2 crits 1st and last
05 Attacks = 9921 (gain 1)... only on final attack

Going to check on server issue... restarting again .... (log out... then log back in)

EDIT: just logged back in...
9919 = Staff
2390 = Focus Heal

by my counts... 2 points from staff went into focus heal... strange that...
______________

141 Attacks
060 Prof points gained
0.425% not sure if this is correct or maybe something like 84.6... maths... not my strong point.
