Nice guide, one thing in the comments had me puzzled though..
‘And something that actually a lot of hunters don’t know is that you can cast 2xExplosive Shots in a row without losing any ticks (cause of the way dot mechanics work nowdays), so when LnL procs, if you aren’t moving towards the boss (keeping same travel time for your shots), you can do 2xExplosive Shots, 1 other cast, and then the last explosive.’
Am I reading that wrong or is he saying you can fire ES off twice straight away without waiting for the dot to tick 3 times on the first shot now? Or is it just that you don’t need to weave a shit in between… first i’ve heard of it anywho.
Even though the two Explosive Shots may overlap a little bit, the game currently reads dot reapplications in such a way that it will cut you some slack and give you all six tics. An exception to this occurs when you are running toward the target, which reduces the relative flight time on the second ES and causes too much of an overlap on the dots. This can result in a lost tic.
Three ESs in a row bunches things up too much and you can lose a tic there too with rapid, consecutive fire. That’s why it can help to put a global between the second and third ESs in a LnL sequence.
Hmm interesting, also i just noticed i type shit instead of shot -_-
