I first noticed this as bounty hunter doing llc but just figured the cap was set low because it is only 1 bar. But now im commando, requiring 3 bars of heavy weapons xp, and as far as i've seen i cant get over 3k heavy weapons xp for any mob i kill. This seems rather silly as all the other types of combat xp cap at around 5k a kill. On top of this i seem to not get xp for flame dots, anything i kill with fire i get severly reduced xp for(ie i dont get the xp for the damage the flame dot does). And to cap it all off flame single doesnt even target the health bar, why would an attack with a health bar dot not focus on its target bar? All other classes dots/bleeds do.

Is this profession just messed, or am i missing something here?

The flame thrower is damn fun though, nothing like roasting quenkers under a dantooine moon.

I have gotten over 3k a kill on some mobs, so I am unsure what you are talking about. Try pickets and the like, you would probably get over 3k if I recall. I have been master for too long to remember xp these days.

Even when a Master, I'd never ever get more than 3100 XP per kill. It's something to do with the Flame DOT, I believe.

Ive noticed this too. It kinda sucks when you take on something with 20k or 10k ham and you get about the same xp. Give or take a couple hundred. Ita always 3k+.

Personally, I think it's because our weapon lines take slightly less experience to level up than other profs... Why we only get 60% of their exp is a mystery to me... Of course, why my HPC seems to always manage to do a lot less damage than my flamethrower is a mystery to me too lol

I think it's the DoT taking exp away, but I'm not positive.

you used to be able to get alot more than 3k, but i have recently taken on commando again and have leveled up with the lp. im master pistoleer so leveling goes quickly and i get around 5k exp per kill as master pistoleer with a regular pistol. but with the lp im still getting around 2700 exp per kill though not using a DOT or anything. i remember when i was commando a few months ago how easy it was to level up. perhaps that is why the devs put a cap in. just another thing to screw commandos

as for the DOT damage taking away exp, i think this is a bug and was not intended. hopefully they will remove it quickly.

and there was much rejoicing...

Easy way to figure this out is to see whether the cap on the HAR is 3k also... unless the HAR has some sort of DOT...
