Himes with DK? Crap exp.
Newties HS mule? Crap exp, specially for my level.
Gobies with my Marauder GF? Crap exp, even if I hit all Gobies.
All used to be nice exp for me, now it's horrible. I'm a SUPPORT class, I don't attack, and we have a formula where attackers get the exp.
The most realible thing I've found is soloing Himes or raping Galloperas with Shining Ray, but that's a 1 in a 50 chance to get a map for myself.
B> Leech... oh, wait...
This is exactly what I was afraid of... Nobody LISTENS to the priests or former priests, or GOD FORBID actually tries to play one before saying "oh yeah, you're fine".
BombsAway Wrote:It's funny to see priests complaining (rightfully so, even) about how this negatively affects them since bishops were one of the main reasons the nerf happened. It's like when you're older sibling does something wrong at 16 and then when you get to that age your parents immediately don't trust you, either.
Ah well, it's still beautiful to only see a couple of sad and lonely smega's b> leech a day now.
o.O I fail to find this funny, since the HS cap not being removed hurts bishops, too.
For what it's worth, I was against this change from the beginning, because all it does is completely imbalance a class that is hard enough to level to 4th... and yes, I said HARD. %/hour is not everything. First, you have to find a party, then you have to learn to Hime which is NOT easy especially when you are fresh from the low-level places like H/Voodoos and MP3. And yeah, with a great party, you might get 30%/hour on 1x, but you'll die a few times in that hour every time you lag at all, since you're 2hkoed for most of the time you train there. And by the way, that great party? It's not one where you're doing 50% or more of the damage, and NOT one where you're the same level as the attacker... because priests kill very, very slowly for 3rd jobbers, because SR is barely better than Heal at all... And attackers don't want equal-or-higher level priests because "they leech too much".
Of course, many of those reasons are changed now. (Like the level of the priest doesn't matter because of the HS cap.)

I heard a lot of people say something about adding an inactive party member and an hsmule and it would actually give you more exp than just soloing. Is there any truth to this? Or is that what the cap that wasn't removed about?
Uh, yeah.
Party: Me, 161 bishop, and a 155 archmage. We normally train together. It went well, better than with turkeys, but hard to compare to before turkeys since he started 100% 2hkoing since then, and we both had leveled a lot. He had to make a phone call, so I soloed for a while. After immediately realizing that HS wasn't changed to 150% solo and my solo exp is still much ickier than partying, I asked him to come in and leech to give me full HS. Then he left again and I SSed the solo exp. (Since it's hard to SS the exp gains when using Gen, I used AR on a Skelosaurus for these SSes.)
Results:
Spoiler
This makes no sense. I get MORE exp with a 155 leecher because of the party bonus exp and the HS cap...
B> change to HS cap, if they're not going to change the formula again. My class is supposed to want to party, but... this is insane. I party for the spawn increase, and the spawn increase is what helps me get more exp... Or at least, it should. o.O
