Quick question from a newb - Guild Wars Forums

BadCo1 · Mar 29, 2008, 06:19 AM // 06:19

I just bought GW:P about a week ago and I have a W/Mo8 right now, and am currently hunting some charr in pre-searing. So my question is: if I hit an enemy with Sever Artery, and he kills me, then bleeds to death after I'm dead, should I still receive the experience? I read on the GW Wiki that you still gain experience even in death, but I've been watching my exp when testing this out and I'm definitely not getting credit for a posthumous kill. Thanks for any info.

Pretttty sure you can't get experience when you're dead, but don't quote me on that one.

I think you gain experience from mission rewards if you are dead, but monsters... not.

You do not gain exp from monsters when dead, or when they are out of your aggro circle. And if it is a hero that kills the monster, then you only do not get the exp when its not in your radar, in other words off-screen.

since you're lvl 8 i'd consider leaving pre-searing to start the real game now

Unless your going for the legendary defender title

Yeah, I'm going to. I was just wondering if my strategy was working or not...which it isn't, heh. Alright, thanks for the help, guys.

Yes, only if your dead body is in his aggro bubble.
