AOE Boosting in RFC

Ok, I searched AoE and Boosting and couldn't find exactly what I'm looking for, so if there is a thread, could someone link it. If not, could someone help.

My son ran my mages x3 (level 10) through RFC today on his 70 Shaman. We tried many different ways to boost, i.e. Tagging all, Bring them to the entrance, have him leave the party, Using Fire Nova Totem and Magma totem to AoE them down (this method was a bitch because of the orc sheild slams); Tagging all and bring them back to the entrance, AoE (Fire Nova, Magma) them down while still in the party; Killing them small groups at a time using low rank lighting and chain (Most effective method). When he AoE'd, in the party or not, i got ZERO experience, and the corpses would all disappear right away. When he grouped the mobs and killed them one at a time, I got experience for each mob killed. Why didn't the AoE produce experience?

Thanks in advance for any help on this.

If the ONLY way he is killing the mobs is his totems, you will gain NO experience. Someone in the party has to damage the mobs at least a bit or you won't get anything, no exp and no loot.

Thank you, guess that's why you use mages, and pallies. Thanks for the help, and thanks for the link, killer thread.
