Explosive shot is raping me lol

[Iceorbz]

Dealing with explosive shot? How do we do it, that stuff is just raping me hard any help is appreciated

I guess it will hurt alot less then im 80 and have some resil, but damn its killing me right now as im trying to farm up some honor for when i hit 80.

It'll still do that at 80, with resil. My main has about 19k hp and 600 resil and wheN i encounter a survival hunter I go to half HP almost instantly. They will kill me in 5 seconds without healing. So I pretty much flame shock -> bomb heals on main -> lava burst, and if he wants to pop a bunch of cooldowns, disappear, feign death and use 15 other ways to interrupt my spells well then I'm bombing heals until he runs out, it's like the rhino boss, forget about it...

its getting nerfed next patch

Specifically:

Explosive Shot: Base damage lowered by 10%. Attack power scaling reduced by 12.5%. The periodic damage from this ability no longer triggers Judgement of Wisdom and Judgement of Light.

The dot is fire damage, so if you have a way to icnrease tyour fire resistance, you can reduce the damage from this even further.

Probably feasible to run around with a fire resist totem all the time now, with totems no longer stacking in parties. I figure my water totems will now be:

- Mana spring
- Cleansing Totem
- Cleansing Totem
- Fire Resistance Totem

Good thing, man that shit hurts hard... I think I will take that note and do 3 cleansing + 1 fire resist along with 1 frost it seems.

You mean you don't have a resistance totem button?

I do, but I wasnt sure what setup the OP is running - the suggestion was for him.

By the way - healing stream still stacks, its only Mana spring that will no longer be stacking.

I actually didn't have fire resist up i guess i overlooked it lol. I had nature and frost.. i seem to get pwnt by druids atm, i had one farming me but he was rocking 880 resil >< so my lavabursts were lke 3k lol.

Im making the change to mykeybindings to include fire and frost here shortly now... its just that stuff still hurts even a level 70 in season 4 gear was tearing me up with it lol.

All PvP hunters will pretty much be converting to Marksmanship in 3.1, so this ability will soon be a non factor.
I was getting blown up by Explosive Shot last night, 2600 crits with 860 resilience on. It's kind of dumb.
