I don't understand why explosive shot took such a massive stealth nerf. Exact same gear, 300 less damage per tick since last night. Why stealth nerf hunters when arcane mages and rogues can kill a 900 res healer in 1 gcd?

people still read the hunter forums?

I noticed a difference, but not on every thing I killed today. The amount of damage missing seems to be about 5% difference and it only appears occasionally.

Its too early to tell, maybe its being caused by Improved Tracking not being applied to everything it is supposed to, or changing it to allow resists.

Seems odd though that I felt it was hitting too low on some things and I stop by for a casual read on the forums and see posts about the same thing from others.

I felt that i wasn't hitting as hard with ES as usual tonight as well.

After reviewing a few parses, looks like explosive shot has been nerfed by ~10%

I am willing to listen to korvek over a lvl 1 alt however.

Well we knew it was coming, I'd be interested to find out if they sleath buffed Beast Mastery again. I can't understand why they are quick to nerf but slow to reverse the previous Hunters nerfs they admitted were overdone.

Do we stil have any proof of this stealth nerf?

other than a few hunters saying their DPS has dropped by 13% and a few saying their ESes are fitting a little bit weaker, and a few saying they saw nothing happen?

Lvl 1 alt does have a point tho...

I'll give u a few parses

Uhhhh had another one but WWS is loading slow as hell for me right now

Go test it out on a dummy, my tooltip reads 1208-1296 but only hits for 1114-1187 aprox a 10% nerf.

Well I'm positive my Explosive shot crits hit for 600 less, It went from 3000 ticks to 2400.
Oh yeah if they buff a tree, I hope they never ever buff just a 51 point talent again, I hate being forced to spec 51 points into a tree. I miss my 0/41/30 spec!

I talked to a half dozen hunters on my server, all say that explosive shot is doing alot less damage.
