Out of Party Leveling not able to anymore?

I just tried to boost my DK (level 71) with my 4 Shammies (Level 80) and the xp was still greatly reduced. Did they nerf this? I swear I read that it was 9 levels difference and the mob tagger would get all the xp, but it seems he is still getting xp based on damaged. Maybe its 8 levels difference?

Can anyone confirm or deny this?

sorry but I can't help ya with that issue because I've never tested it.

only think I'd like to say:
if you're doing this in an instance (leaving the party, tagging the mobs, killing the mobs with your crew and rejoining the party to avoid getting ported out)
then it is an exploiting mechanic which Blizzard doesn't tolerate (best example is Athene which tried to get first lvl 80 when WOTLK launched and got set
back to level 70 after Blizz saw that he was exploiting the instance mechanic).

There isn't a magic number for the number of level your boosters can be over the boostee. Its just a matter of whether the mob is grey to the boosters or not. At 60, that number is around 9. At 70, that number is 7 or 8. I forget which. Regardless, if the mob is grey to the powerlever, you only get xp based off the % of damage you did. If the mob is green or higher, you get full xp.

It scales, have your dk tag mobs around level 73+ (preff 74/75) and it should work then.

Hmmm, I tried this with my 77 Pally by the onslaught camp by Naxx. Mobs there are 71-72ish Pally was getting same XP in group as he would out of group. Other toons helping to kill were 4, lvl 74 Shamans. I also tried the Athene Instance tagging trick in UK.....with the same results. So, Im back to group grinding.

I'll have to try this with some level 73-74 mobs. My DK is 71 so I am thinking of grinding him on the elites out of party in Gundrak.

all the mobs IN the camp ( not the roaming ones around the base ) are 72-73. lvl 72 mobs are the lowest you can tag-boost with( at 80 ). Its a perfect place to AE boost. They respawn fast, ZERO casters. Its super fast exp until 73, and semi good until 74 after you ding 73. Also if you kill mobs any higher than 72 the exp is not much more. As long as the mobs are yellow to the lowebie you will get around the same exp. There is no better place than this camp until the mobs start turning green to the lowbie your boosting.

Ok one thing I know for SURE that is nerfed is you cant boot your character from the group and have him get all the xp in an INSTANCE. Outside you should be fine as long as the mobs are within 8 levels of the 80s.
