With this priority list and the no clipping rule, each Lock and Load proc will result in Explosive Shots alternating with the first available shot from. For my hunter's current gear and talents, this strategy results in DPS. Experimenting with delaying individual shots identifies delayed Serpent Stings and Aimed Shots as the culprits.
An important part of the delay logic is that it does not apply when Explosive Shots is on cooldown - if Lock and Load procs immediately after Explosive Shots was fired, it is a large DPS loss to delay 6 seconds.
Neither of these is a large DPS change, and the latter is hardly statistically significant. As an aside, we note that just delaying Steady Shots whenever the Explosive Shot cooldown is less than 0. In essence, once Lock and Load procs and the first Explosive Shot is fired, then the priority list becomes. In conclusion, we found that the long accepted best-practice of delaying shots under Lock and Load no longer maximizes DPS.
For players with high latency, or for hunters who are having a hard time getting used to timing the shots properly, the insertion of an instant cast ability in between is not the end of the world. Steady Shot could also be used in this case, but should be the last resort, as its cast timer will often exceed even that of the 1. I would advise reapplying Aimed Shot if needed during Lock and Load procs.
Tranquilizing Shot could also be used in between to knock off any resistances that might lessen the nuking power of your Explosive Shot.
I use two addons to help me manage my Lock and Load procs. Power Auras shows me when the buff becomes active and for how long. SatrinaBuffFrame gives me a handy little graphical timer which aids me in knowing when to cast my next Explosive Shot. As soon as my first Explosive Shot hits, a timer appears that shows me how long until the last charge will be released. Just as the bar is about to expire, I know to cast my next shot. For those of you in the dark about Lock and Load or the amazing qualities of Explosive Shot, I hope this post helped to demystify some things.
One last note: For those of you new to survival huntering, or huntering in general, if you spec survival for Explosive Shot, be sure to pull Arcane Shot off of your action bars. They both share the same 6 second cooldown, but Explosive Shot is x better. It is in effect, a replacement for Arcane Shot for survival hunters. Perceuss i agree, that Sv is the best fun. An SV hunter have easier way to find the good CC. But do you really mean it? Do you mean make a macro like:.
Great post! Thanks a lot for the tips. Is there a clever way to do this, perhaps with a poweraura that shows a 2 second timer every time you touch explosive shot, that is immune to latency? The combat text is courtesy of MikScrollingBattleText. Highly recommended.
Is this true? Also I would like your oppinion on my stats if you got the time to check my profile and give me a hint. I did some spreadsheet tests trying other glyphs in place of Explosive, but they resulted in losses in all cases. Oh and we finished a strand of the ancients today….. I was 3 kills away from my beloved Wrecking Ball Achievement….
