Death to the Bishops

How much experience a class gets while doing is role is irrelevant to if its a support class or not, just because you level slower doesn't change your role. What, you honestly expect to level fast while you're party members do the majority of the work? Drk's do not get any experience by raising their party members HP, yet we know why they are invited to parties.

Define "majority of the work". For one, I do simultaneous Targar/Scar runs on my Bishop. I know Heal is not absolutely needed there, but that's my role. Attackers attack, and I keep them alive in case they fail to pot, and resurrect if the casual lag death happens. I don't get as much exp as attackers there (not like it's a lot anyway), but I'm happy with my role. That's there.

Now, we're talking about a balance patch. Balance. How is it balanced to party with a person, a supporter and an attacker, and have the attacker gain more than double the experience than the supporter. That's how it's now, and it's horrible. I know because I do support-only with my Bishop from time to time, when I got a friend lagging so he doesn't die or whatever. I get less than half EXP than the attacker, but that's fine, since I can also kill by myself otherwise. 60:40 would be a much better leech ratio for attackerupporter, I could accept that, but not 80:20, since first, it's not balanced, and second, that's zero motivation to party.

Also, take it from Someone who has Solo'd as a Cleric from 42 all the way to 120, than remade after Aran, Party training is much better experience than Solo.

Are you comparing party training as an Aran than soloing as a Cleric? Of course the Aran is faster. Heck, Arans are the faster levelers ever. I got from 60-70 in one day of party training.

And how is his answer moot? It is a "new formula", and regardless of what you or I or some random dude on the street calls it, it makes leveling easier.

It's moot because it's not a formula. What it does is cut a chunk of millions of EXP needed to level for EVERYONE. It won't help full supporters to catch up with attackers leveling speed. Imagine you just need 50% of what you need now to level. That's what it does. The way you gain exp in party by supporting/attacking doesn't change.
