Back when I played on live (2004), that applied to player/player dps balance, but never did I ever get experience or loot from a guard kill,
no matter how much damage I did to the mob. But in this case, I stopped attacking and run past the guards and wait.
"Time to die, a large bat" ....no experience, no corpse, no loot.
If this was normal all the way through EQ's existance, nobody would have ever needed to actually drop a mob, just get it below 50% and
stand back and let the guards do the rest.

I remember doing something similar to this in North Karana on live, run the griffons to the guards at the tower the griffon kills the guard and the griffon was left at 10 pct, you finish of the griffon and get full exp plus loot.

Funny you mention that strategy. Not long ago, I increased the stats and dmg on those same guards in karana, so that can't happen

Ok from what I see on my server, If I get the most damage on a mob then I get the exp for the mob if i kill or guard kills. Say mob has 100 hp and i do 51 pts of damage and the guard finishes it off with 49 damage, i get the exp. if the mob has 100 hp and i do 51 damage and the guard finishes it off with a 100 damage hit then he gets the kill. just from what i am observing. not sure if this the way it is.
