This should result in lower HP as noted in the video. We all know that Exp is tied directly to HP, so it will obviously go lower as well. However, it will make the map more approachable to lesser powered players.The Koreans have been doing just fine leveling since You and I so I think we'll be good as well. I'll be interested to see what you find out after the patch. I've actually been kind of waiting for this patch to train some of my lower levels. Especially because a few of my friends and I are going to make new characters together. I think you're right and I don't think it will be as bad as people think it will be. Should work out well IMHO.
First thing I am doing when the new patch hits is analyzing the new party exp formula and making my Exp calculator match it. I will keep the old formula right next to it so we can get a definitive answer on how much of a nerf it ends up being.
Another thing to consider - if HoH becomes a normal mob zone, then Runes and such will show up which will give opportunities for extra Exp. It may not bring it up to pre-nerf conditions, but it may not make things as bad as they might initially seem.
