EXP for DoT?

[ITS'aME'aMARIO!!!!]

Experience points distribution is determined by % of damage done to kill the monster multiplied by the amount of exp the monster drops...

DoT damage for the fire gauntlets and dark maul is supposedly determined by fire magic skill.

Here's my question:
Does the DoT, or burning damage contirbute to gaining exp for that weapon's assigned skill?

Would using a set of regular gauntlets instead of fire gauntlets yield more exp? or less lost to burning damage?






also:
When right clicking to use an offhand weapon to attack, no experience points is given to that weapon's skill. (something I have tested)

Damage over Time

Depends on weither or not the over time damage is part of the exact calculation. Upon knowing that you must take advantage of some of it.

Yeah, ignore moose. I'm convinced he's either a forum-bot, a "fisher", or just a plain idiot.

 

[evilsquirrel]

methinks forum bot from his sometimes nonsensical things....

 

[Thothie]

I missed the moose apparently.

Yes, the DOT does go to MA.

 

[ITS'aME'aMARIO!!!!]

WOOT! *dumps regular gauntlets*

hmm, what about holy/greater arrows? does exp work fine for archery when using those? I have heard that exp is not bueno

 

[The Man In Black]

They've been getting me plenty exp >_>

 

[Thothie]

Ditto on the arrows.

 

[replica]

does the same go for spells?

 

[Thothie]

Spells are a tad screwier in that department... It varies with the spell in question. Poison has been especially, annoyingly, screwy, while fireball/dart seem to work just fine. Been trying to figure out why...
