This is where you really freaking confuse me? I'm already getting 30 exp for killing maddie, how much lower can i go, and how can i possibly go lower yet learn my skills, the whole point of your change is that i don't do that?????????

THATS MY WHOLE POINT! THEY CAN'T!
Maddie is for rank 16's for goodness sake, how the hell is the orc supposed to handle "semi-tough" when he's already getting beaten silly by "child-like" mobs??
Plus throw in for example the 50% wimpy and i'm laughing.
Please can you give me a detailed explanation to the situation i am so obviously missing

So why change it?

no, the fact that they tank pathetically and are unable to get an opportunity to practice is the point at hand

again, your spewing extremes here, i don't want 100% in everything, you keep repeating this non desired scenario as some sort of defence.

I did, my characters rp went right down the swanee as a respectable warrior when he died in every single confrontation with a necromancer (Within 2 rounds i might add) i swallowed the "don't practice" line and lost gads of con in a stupidly short length of time, it's happened every time i've done it. Mages just abuse you.

In fact i challenge you to make a rager warrior without practicing your skills -at- all and you can prove me wrong, but until you name one, i'm sorry but i don't believe you.
