    It takes 500,000 xp for a pet to get from just lv 101 to 102, and pet xp is capped at 15 per mob. That's about 33,333 mobs to get a pet from level 101 to 102. There would also be a lot of other things a level 10x player would rather do than grinding at that level.

    If you have a lvl 100 nix, you go to 2nd or 3rd map. At least you get drops + exp. It would be idiotic to sit there at staunch worms trying to get a nix to 101.
    I post in forums. This one and others. That's why I post.

    well if a squad fails to learn assist attack to veno when she killing group of mobs then its dd fault. i always get tired of saying that to dds. if veno group mobs on herc then they target one and kill all the mobs one by one. pulling and rebuffing herc sounds more noobish than taking them all on herc. i would do that with any other pet that would have reflect too if they could handle those mobs.
    and wth is wrong with fashion and crappy gears? gears wont make u deal much dmg unless they r +mag and veno dmg sucks anyway. if veno doesnt die then their gear is good enough for them. ima cheap carebear from pve server, i dun need kickass gears.
    so far i havent seen any stupid veno with herc/nix. but maybe thats because i know how pets work and what they can handle. as one guildie said today: its the party that gets stupid when see herc.

    That's why you play on the PvP server, where you can pk jerks. ^^

    It would be very hard to pk someone with Nix if it is close to your lvl.I always help out others while lvling mine as it is only 5.It is a lot more harder for a BM or Barb as they keep flying away.
    Looking for a decent casual understanding Faction.

    And I have squadded with people to help them with that quest. The bad thing that I remember is, I don't think my kills counted for them? Maybe PWI has changed since I was down there... but I would swear when we tried it that it did not work for them...
    Sometimes they count and sometimes not.

    I got no theories why.

    I would hope at 101 that you might be AoE grinding ~14 mobs a time without waiting for your pet to aggro each one of them. I've even group AoE, just gotta keep the dps ahead of the other DD.

    There's almost always a better more profitable way than the lazy way.

    I agree with both of your points. I disagree with the point stating that leveling pets is very quick.

    It's pretty close to impossible to KS a venomancer levelling a pet there. If the pet isn't 1- or 2-shotting the worms, she should really be somewhere else instead. If you can kill fast enough, you can theoretically hunt the worms to extinction, but that's easier said than done due to their numbers and respawn rate.

    I can.

    Alpha Male/Flesh Ream works wonders. Alpha resets aggro, and FR secures it.
    Some people risk to employ me

    Some people live to destroy me

    Either way they die

    Unfortunately, Frankie has confirmed that being first to attack a mob does not give you claim to it. So while in your and my opinion the veno was KSing, according to PWE all mobs are free for anyone to attack at any time, even if they're already being fought by someone else. So the veno was not KSing.

    Where you might get a sympathetic ear from a GM is by screenshotting and submitting a petition stating that the person is preventing you from getting legitimate quests done. That seems to be the exception in their "there's no such thing as KSing" rules. If someone is camping a mob (or mobs) and killing them so quickly to the extent that others cannot get a legitimate quest done, then that behavior is bannable.

    And it takes 535,632,000 exp to get a character from 101 to 102. While I realize the great majority of exp nowadays is gained with BH and hypers, you'd think that, just maybe, the veno could take out the phoenix now and then to kill one mob per 16,000 exp the character gained?

    As others have pointed out, OHT is a much better place to level a phoenix. Not to mention the staunch worms are only level 100. At level 101-102, they'll only give 10-12 exp per kill. Array mobs in OHT are level 150 and will give 15 exp.
