Hello, I have just obtained novice creature handler and decided to go to tat to find some creatures to tame.I found several lairs and tamed 3 baby's.It said I received around 115exp per animal but when I looked at my exp bar it said only 293, and that's what I begun with.I'm not sure when I got the 293 but it might of been when I was imperial and I trained in it for some unknown reason... I recently switched to rebel and i'm not too sure if that has to do withanything.If anyone has suggestions please say them.

I dont know if this has been brought up before or not, or if it was in before the patch, but when you put a DOT (i know its like this for fire at least) on your enemy, you dont get EXP for the damage the DOT does to the thing. Ive tested this numerous times, and it really sucks and needs to be fixed.

Are you going after something with 100% heat resists? If so you won't get XP. Since you're not doing any real damage.

No, now if you do more damage with a DoT, you get less exp. It's unknown whether or not this is a bug, or an unannounced "feature"

to further explain what the submitter means:
there is a cap on the exp you can get from a kill. pretend the cap is at 4k exp for the current level of our imaginary character example.
Think about how exp is divided between different weapons if you switch mid combat. Lets say you hit the exp cap for you level. the exp is split between the weapons based upon the ratio of how much damage each weapon did. say weapon A did 1/3 of you total dam and weapon B did 2/3, then 1/3 exp goes to weapon A type, and 2/3 exp goes to weapon B type.
Now treat bleeds almost like a third weapon type. say the bleed does 1/2 of your total damage the the creature and that you hit your cap.
The result is that you get 1/2 of your capped exp, and the other 1/2 from the bleed damage is just gone.

This bug actually makes me wish my Flame Single 2 didn't have a dot component for the sake of gaining exp.

WOW.. . this explains a lot. I was hunting on Dath last night, and wondering why stuff just wasn't giving xp like I remembered it did for pistols last time I went....
I guess I won't use the ONE GOOD SPECIAL we have. LOL.

I think they removed all exp you get from any dots to cut back people from kiting. But don't quote me on that. My guildie is working on Fencer and I know when he uses bleeds on NPC he gets much less exp. Does the looting rights work now with the fire dots?

As long as you don't get out of visual range they work now I think. (I haven't had any problems competing without other people at least

they should give us a non-dot special if they are going to screw us over like this

I was going to post something very similar to this...
I'm a Master Pikeman, when I kill a Mokk Warrior with my LVA I get over 4,000 exp.
I'm commando 3/0/4/0 and when I kill a Mokk Warrior using Flame Single 2 I'm only getting around 2300 exp.
This is really pissing me off.
I actually intended to move to dathmir thinking maybe the mokks were just too easy for a commando and thats why I was getting crapo exp.
Something needs to be done about this.
