Just discovered this yesterday. I'm sure some of you already know. For those who dont-

I solo Threatening matches at level one. I figured out that if I stop my kill streaks at 15, I get an extra level or more from a non-dragon FC run. So, I'm pretty sure that multiple 15 kill streaks generate considerably more experience than one long kill streak.

That's .. definitely working as intended.

Learn something new every day, thanks for that.

I thought I remember reading somewhere that 13 to 15 kill streaks triggers the bonus, but didn't know you could get it multiple times in a match!  And how much more xp are we talking about?  I need to test this ASAP LOL.

It's great in pug kill-a-thons. Doesn't replace the xp earned from cooperative teamplay, however. Very good tip regardless.

That is a good tip, especially when playing solo.

 

Edit:  Oh, how long do you have to NOT kill anything to signal the end of a kill streak and thus the start of a new one?

[Terrell_Campbe11]

This is a good tip but I'm not sure I have the self control to use it

Not sure I do either.  In cooperative teamplay I often cringe when I see a kill streak, since I am often just trying to hit everything once and let others hit it as well.   In solo play though, I love seeing those 50+ kill streaks.

And how much more xp are we talking about?

On a threatening FC run with no dragon, I gained about 1.25 extra levels.

[Kalas Magnus]

damn and here i am getting 60+ killstreaks.

Ok here is what I did. I needed to finish my sword challenge so I decided to put this to the test. 

 

I used my Templar on Routine on FC. I also used the same enemies and same dragon(Vints) in both. When I finished the first run I did not use any of my new ability points so she would stay as close to the same power level as possible. I also used the same fighting style in both except as noted.

 

In my first run I killed every enemy in strings of 15 except for the few leftovers/stragglers that could not tote up to 15 at the end. On this run I scored 8042.

 

On the second run I had kill a kill streak of 20+, 40+, 2 @ 60+ and one 80+.  At the end the score was 7787.

 

So just what I ended up with.

I could be wrong but it works on my duelist. Could be your templar is generating unpredictable amounts of xp by getting hit, blocking, buffing, etc. The duelist is straight damage and rarely gets hit. Again, I could be wrong but months of doing it the other way never got me to level 9.5.

Did a NM solo FC this morning with my Avvar and tried to do this. Could be wrong but pretty sure I usually only get 30-35k for this usually, ended on 54k which is usually barrier bot material.

 

Only off the cuff but if true that would make a huge difference for relatively little pain. Just went and found pots while waiting for killstreak to drop, or picked on the saarebus.

 

circumstances were:

LVL17 Avvar

NM FC against qunari

Called dragon

managed to get about 8-10 approx 15 killstreaks

[Silversmurf]

Perilous FC. AW. Solo.

Usually get 42000 , instead got 44370

3 x 15 kill streaks zone 1
4 x 15 zone 2
4 x 15 zone 3
5 x 15 zone 4
4 x 15 zone 5

20 in all

Took 22 min so a slower run.

Not a huge increase. Marginal at best.
