I'll go into at level FATES and it tells me my level is too low and the FATE says the exact same level as I am. And it doesn't reward me as much EXP because of it. And how is the FATE calculated? Is it just whatever you tag you get credit for helping or what? If so, then I can see mages spamming blizzard being very op in that regard.
I'm a marauder, so my only actual AOE attack that I have right now is Overpower and yeah, well I'm lucky if I get it on a group of mobs before they die in Quarrymill or whatever it's called.
