My Director got curious about which revive cast counts, because some people said first one, and some said that last one.
We checked that yesterday, and got quite surprising result:

From all revives cast on the corpse HIGHEST counts.

Heres how we did it:
Squad:
Guinea pig - Coconino, barbarian with 'Aware of the myriad' culti
Tester 1 - JamberBritts - cleric with sage res
Tester 2 - Aya__ - cleric with lvl 10 res
Tester 3 - CindaRella - cleric with lvl 6 res
Helpers - Noxtouch Boneglows, Yan the Traitor
Method:
Coco died for the sake of science and we tested reviving him in 3 stages:
1a) Jam cast 1st and I cast 2nd - no exp loss
1b) I cast 1st, Jam cast 2nd - no exp loss
2a) I cast 1st, Cinda second - about 11k exp loss
2b) Cinda cast 1st, I cast 2nd - about 11k exp loss
3) only Cinda cast - about 55k exp loss

    well, we obviously didnt know b:surrender

    and i thought if we didnt know that might mean someone else didnt know either and may use that info, so i asked for permission to post our test results
    so ppl can stop being afraid of well meaning lvl 20 cleric wanting to help out and overwriting sage/demon res...
    (lvl 1 res also has its uses ofc - like not having to come back from town, and as you level it up res only gets better :) )

    frankly i wanted to be guinea pig, but she didnt let me
    and it was painful to watch barb die and not healing, now keeping squad mates (and especially tank) healthy is like knee-jerk reaction, i hit keys before i think sometimes lol...

    Never really thought to test it, I just assumed it was overwritten by the most recent like most things. I suppose it's not an icon though, so it does make sense.
    Thanks for the info :D

    Wow, 93 lvls of being a cleric and I had no idea this was the case. I always thought last spell to be cast was the on to effect the XP loss. Thanks for testing this and posting!

    ...wha-wha-what?!
    More surprising than my lvl 84 self not noticing this is an entire thread of high clerics not noticing this
    It sounds convincing, but does anyone want to verify this?

    Dont worry... noone 'notices' because you always have only one with highest res cast and exp loss is as expected every time. there is nothing to 'notice' either you think about it enough to test or assume 1st or last wins. We have few high lvl clerics in guild and none of us knew, thats why we tested :) We thought its last one cast, but had that small doubt about 'maybe its first after all'... Never expected that highest wins :)

    I posted method and numbers to make this look more 'scientific' and believable, but if you really want to recreate our test just pick a 'test subject' and clerics with different levels of res. make testee remove all gear, bribe him with oracles if necessary and go for it b:laugh
    btw - Paramedic confirmed that highest wins, so you have two votes 'for' ^.^
