Hits to kill and exp isn't exactly an inverse relationship. Bishops don't train 2x faster by 1hkoing Skeles vs. 2hkoing. There's always the availability of spawn to deal with.
I don't like using the Pendant of the Spirit because even if it does increase the total exp you gain, being able to kill a monster in x hits can make training much smoother. Oblivion Monk Trainees are unable to shoot me if I kill them in 3 hits. If my damage was reduced enough to where I couldn't 100% 3hko, I would feel a lot clumsier, take more damage, and probably have to move back to Oblivion Monks, which results in worse exp. Plus hitting those bigger numbers just feels better.
