Every bit helps.
And what's the harm in doing it? Some people solo stuff like Steelshells which equates to exp (buffer for tanks, mmm) kindred seals, and being left the hell alone.
If there is business about procing more with a two handed weapons, seems like a good way to raise my meager skill there would be to do it on Monk with an Earth staff first (yay for E-rated parrying, ugh) then continue on THF.
Alternatively, there's always exping in LOLDweaps; hey, Whirl of Rage *is* Multi hit..
Has anyone detected more skill ups from mobs that would presumably have lower stats in DEX or AGI, or something? I'm not the number cruncher many here are, but from what I'm hearing, it seems like alot of the 'slower' mobs such as crabs or Monks (check a Monk's base stat; their agility rating's actually pretty horrid)? I'm wondering how that works..
But yeesh, taking 30 damage from a Zdei mob in Sea? I need to start leveling guarding some more.
