Getting skilled from being killed...

[nexus7]

Now, I know you can get skills from getting killed by mobs in conjunction with say sweating, but can you get extra skills from just getting killed and nothing else, not even sweating? Also, do you get more skilled from being killed from bigger mobs than from smaller ones?

I think you can gain defensive skills just by being killed, or possibly by moving around while under attack, but I imagine the gains would be much slower than if you were fighting back or healing yourself while attacked.
A smaller mob might take longer to kill you, and might trigger more skill gains than a larger mob that kills you in the first attack. This would be an interesting comparison for you to try out.
A consideration is what type of skill - evade or dodge - do you prefer, as choosing to be killed by robots will give you dodge skills, rather than the usual evade skill from other mobs.

Many thanks for that;

Yep, I'll def' try that comparison out. I was thinking before posting, that maybe I could gain more evade/dodge from being killed by bigger mobs and bots, but now I'm not so sure, but I'll give it a try...
