Explosive Shot's buff, 2-4 damage

WoW Classic Season of Discovery
1

So yesterday I tried it, got 30 damage per tick.
Today after the patch I got 32 on a slime and 34 on a wolf per tick.

Am I missing something or is this some sort of a joke of a buff?
So… BM got -10% to damage and health (why health?) and Explosive Shot got a whooping 4 more damage.
Chimera Shot does do a slight bit more damage and yknow what? It’s not enough. It needs to be brought back to 125%.
But at least the buff to Chimera Shot did up the damage somewhat.

Explosive shot got like 4 more damage for me.

It’s still clucking useless.
Blizzard, be honest, does anyone on your current SoD team even play a Hunter?

It actually does solid damage, at least with my 3.4 speed crossbow

But what did you expect? +25% of nothing = still nothing.

Yeah I suppose it would scale better with a slower crossbow due to the weapon damage scaling. Unfortunately I’m stuck with a 1.90 speed at the moment. :frowning:

[edit]

I just looked at my damage numbers and I got 4 attacks from my explosive shot this time, the first one was a critical (overkill) the other 3 were normal attacks.

Explosive Shot can hit 4 times?

Steelarrow Crossbow sells for like 10-14g on AH. And if they dont introduce another slower wep like this in 2nd phase, we could stick to this one till level 40 :slight_smile: /Ofc BFD crossbow is a shiny epic /

Normally no.

Yeah I looked it up on the AH for me on Wildgrowth and that is way too expensive for me and the drop chance is not something I’m gonna go farm so to me Chimera Shot will probably remain useless unless I get Naga Heartrender or Azshari Arbalest from BFD which have a 2.90 and 2.80 weapon speed.

Well, I got 4 hits in my combat log, first one being the critical. Weird bug I guess.

I tested it still does 3 ticks.

Bug then. :person_shrugging:

probably critter close by

Another joke froim Blizzard how to keep agro on pet when solo questing while u have no bm rune and “Buffed” (omg really buffed) chimera or explosive shot. Why we do not have buff disengage for this changes, all my game on hunter without bm rune is 1 crit or 1 chimera = running away because the pet doesnt taunt this dmg

13

Is it not normalized on 2.8 attack speed like every other hunter ability?
EDIT: I just tested and it is but it’s not exactly 2.8.

Chimera Shot would be oki if Serpent sting actually scales with AP. But it doesn’t. Serpent Sting does way to low damage for it really. Chimera Shot on 125% weapon damage was fine!

Nah mate. I’m 1 item (costs 300g on my server) from being completely BiS Orc Hunter and my damage is laughable when compared to any random Balance Druid for example. I should be completely melting leahter and clothies. A priest with bad gear should F die in 1 Aim Shot.

But here we are…having Mages that can 1 pull WC. What will happen next Phase when SM finally get into their fav. dungeon: SM. 5 Mages will be spell cleaving all the way to 40 and the economy will S iteself.

Warriors will good gear will dominate the now 25 man premade ABs and Rogues will gank and grief like never before. It’s gonna be a S show and it’s super predictable.

Yep, but these :clown_face: will continue to cry over the hunter and his pet.
