So I duo'd from 12 to 30 and gained 4.1% into rank 11 staves.
If I had solo'd that far how much more, if any, prof would I have gained?
If I had full grouped, how much less, if any, prof would I have gained?
I'm under the impression that solo prof is faster than with groups, and would like clarification.

dang

solo prof gain is faster per lvl .. since when u solo u get all the hits to kill mobs, when you are in a full group u lvl alot faster cuz some of the mobs are killed by others in the group = no prof for you

add to this that when you are in a group you might be below the lvl of the driver and therefore dont gain any prof even for the hits that you do make

Thank you, Ben! So it's not slower in the sense that 4 hours of slashing prof = 4 hours of slashing prof, solo or not. Or am I still on the wrong page?

i think it will be slower since when ur in a group u have less chance to hit the mobs cuz of multi hits ect then if u solo, but 4 hr slahsing solo vs 4 hr slashing in group will be more the same then 71 lvls solo vs 71 lvls full group

Nah, I'm the boss with the most actions in every group

That doesn't matter though, what he's saying is that you hit less times to gain the same experience when you level in a group compared to playing solo; so although you gain experience slower you would gain profs faster (I believe)

But was my statement correct that 4 hours of solo prof = 4 hours of group prof?
It seems that it is not. I can't solo for 40 minutes let alone 4 hours BOOORING

Nah, you'd gain more in solo as far as I know

That's the general consensus, I'm hearing. Must test for myself (I won't lol)
