two quick questions:

1. do pets cause any xp rewards to be reduced/shared?

2. with shields, what does the damage indicate (not x% to block y damage). do shields actually cause damage?

thanks!

1. No. Pets are actually just extensions of your abilities, so they do not leech any exp. Think of them as walking fireballs thrown by a mage.

2. Some skills in the Defense tree use the shield to inflict damage like a weapon on your enemy, such as shield charge, and batter etc...when the shield proc occurs, it is this damage amount that is done...sort of like a momentary "dual wield" for shield users.
