Possibly buggy leveling warden

Has anyone else noticed that with only 1 winter's embrace skill on a bar it still levels ~2x faster than animal companions and ~3x faster than green balance? I had 1 skill on my bar for winter's embrace the whole time and it hit 50 long before AC/GB... Meanwhile with 2 GB skills and 1 AC, AC is ahead of GB by about 9 pts as well.

I watched this the whole time I leveled and it just seemed completely out of whack.

Anyone else notice this? Should I bug report it?

    All 3 skill lines seem to have the same required experience. Are you sure you didn't have more than one skill on your bar including ultimates? The 3 lines seem to level normally on my Warden according to number of skills slotted.

    Weird, yea most definitely only 1 skill. I ran 2 AC 2 GB most of the time. Only WE skill was usually my ultimate. Occasionally I had more than 1 but very rarely and certainly not enough to finish WE over the other 2.

    Edit: wish I hadn't maxed WE already I could have tested it with actual xp numbers but now that it's maxed I can only test for the other 2 trees. Although that might help since gb/ac don't seem to level same speed. I will make a bar with 1 of each only, kill a mob and report xp gains... brb. ;)

    Edit 2: tested it with a kill, each got 336 xp with 1 skill. So now I really wish I could have tested WE. Maybe I just had some weird quest turn ins on a bar with more WE or something. Although it's my last favorite skill line and I barely run any of those.

    I've had the same experience. Never more than one winter embrace skill on my bar. Multiple animal companion skills. WE is 5 levels ahead of everything else.

    Yea I think WE is messed up. The other 2 according to my test seem ok.

    I agree, I've seen WE leveling a lot faster with fewer slotted skills.

    Same here, I noticed this a while ago but figured no big deal if it wants to level a bit faster I won't complain lol. W.E. definitely levels 1.5x - 2.0x faster than the other 2 warden skill lines.

    Same here, Animal Companions (Cliff Racer) was the first skill I learned, afterwards ended up with two skills from AC, two from WE and one Green Balance on my bar...Winter line is already almost 25 and Animal Companions just hit 20, while Green Balance is around 14. Winter's Embrace definitely levels faster than the other two

    So a quick test with 1 of each skill on my bar and each skill line received 155 xp from a 515 xp kill. Perhaps it is one particular skill in the WE line that gives more xp or a combination of skill + passive that bugs it somehow.

    I noticed this as well. Not really worried about it as once I hit Vet levels they will all hit 50 quickly.

    Well I have two animal skills so for me it's racing ahead, overall the leveling is slow as I just don do much damage, but I'm sure it will get better. After all my magic sorc was a total dud until she reached 50, now she is an absolute beast, heavy attacks for the win baby :D

    I think I just need to get to the buffs and things will get better
