woo hoo! good news for us EQers who play pet classes! the Boyfriend and i only yesterday were discussing the very problem of pets taking experience which exacerbates the slow-leveling problem for iksar, who already gain experience more slowly than any other race. he and i have been playing our main characters roughly the same length of time. his non-pet-using halfling is level 52, my pet-reliant necromancer only level 30. also, considering that my iksar necromancer spends most of his time soloing, it's a good thing that i no longer have to try to outdamage my pet. casters suck in the melee damage arena, and i'd rather save my mana for casting defensive root/fear or Get-Me-The-Fook-Outta-Here spells.
