yea they give xp

I think it's a some kind of 'Summon' monster spell, not 'Resurrect', that's why the mechanics differ from each other, and yeah, those give lots of exp.

Either those tips and knowledge appear in the first post or this thread is useless.

Good stuff, thanks all!

With 75% Magic resistance and more than 12.5k life at the time of the explosion, you can tank a single Duncraig barrel.

Duncraig barrels are 100% magic damage, if that helps anyone understand more easily.

People say that most often because they're categorized together as Phys/Magic Spell, generally. The barrels themselves are 100% magic though, same with witch pounces, and a few other things, like the starfall thing in Void, etc.
