Get over it. You have to learn to accept that Dom 2 is not Diablo or any/all other games.

Frankly, the idea that you only get experience for killing is stupid, and it leads to game play abuses. First, in the real world, you learn by doing. If you were practicing martial arts, or marksmanship, or whatever, you do really learn by trying to hit an opponent. If you only learned by defeating them, no one would ever learn anything, because beginners could never defeat experts. As for the gameplay abuses, it's not fair that one character gets all the XPs because they were lucky enough (or in MP, aggressive/sneaky enough) to land the Last blow, regardless of whether someone else did 99% of the work to kill the target. Which was one of the things I liked about the SWG MMORPG: you got XPs proportionally based on your share of the damage that was inflicted when you gang-banged an enemy.

well in diablo 2 party play expierience in party was shared too if the members were in the same area ( something like 1 screen ) .
but the one who killed the target got 10% bonus .

and getting xp only for killing would delay getting xp that would be good .
you get xp far to quick .
if i really get for every hit one xp than after smashing 2-3 indie provinces my sc pretender has already 5 stars .
have never paid much attention to that but at least my vq's were always quite quick 5 star .

if the sc only gets xp for kills he would much slower reach the 5ths level .

the downside of that would be of course that for non sc's it would be almost impossible to reach a higher level than lvl 2-3 .

but it would make sense logical . a sc is always a very mighty being either a pretender or a mighty demon etc. so they do get more expierience because of their already higher power and semi divinity compared to mortals like knights .
makes sense from fantasy view points or ?
