Right, it is very similar to the healer out of group, where you also get full XP. The only thing that is weird to me is that if the hunter fires a shot, even if out of group, the boostees get almost no XP, but if the pet does the damage it's full XP. To me I guess DPS is DPS, whether from the cat or the hunter. So that is where I think it might be a bit of an oversight on Blizzard's part. But I agree, mechanically it is the same as healing out of group, and that doesn't feel like an exploit to me. And I won't complain, having 3 lvl 70 kitties tearing away while my pally taps will be great. Tap and tear! 8^)

Zaelar, I am going to be using that method when my pally hits 62. My 3 hunters will be firing away! Those poor Clefthoofs... What did they ever do to me.
