No experience for kills when killing is done by damage over time spells

[Winterhawk]

This is one that metro never properly fixed (they ended up giving half exp only). When the extra damage spell causes the monster death here you get no experience. The capture is of a druid using acid tempest.

Almost not a bug :)
Also happens in mmud, if a monster is killed by DOT while you're NOT engaged, you don't get the exp.  But since you were engaged, you should have got the exp.
