What about the pet? Should I use spider for this encounter for 30% mana regeneration and relatively low range encounter with the lady? Spider could also entangle a target in web for 4 seconds if it was needes for any reason. Or keep it with the wolf for the howl? Cheers

First kill on 25 man last night. So, I’m happy. As a SV hunter I wasn’t noticing that the caster adds were resisting any damage from explosive shot.

The melee adds sure as hell do reduce damage from shots (I saw huge numbers like 41 pop out), but I’m pretty sure I could explosive shot them as well.

We raid with 3-4 hunters and I was trying to find out info between attempts to back this up. None of us could get a good enough read on it to say with confidence that it was one way or the other. What’s the word on Explosive Shots fire damage. I’m pretty sure I saw it damaging the casters fine as well as hitting the melee.

Could some one explain how the damage reduction works? The more I look it up the more confused I become. No info source I’ve found is consistent or credible.

Thought I’d throw out the Tremor video strategy for Lady D. I found it very neat and tidy compared to normal way.

EDIT: I am talking about the 25m encounter, the 10m seems to be a breeze.

BTW: Has anyone tried to tank the Skeletal adds with a hunter using Distracting shot to start kiting them towards the back steps? Essentially this does a couple things: Eliminates the need for 3 tanks on this fight as one of them can go dps for faster burn of normal adds. If you coordinate the other two tanks to start taunting the skeletal add back as it gets closer to you, the add is always in motion, not attacking other ppl. Distracting Shot only has 8 sec CD so you could theortically keep it busy while only ranged burns the skeletal add. The other bonus of this is that the mele dont waist time running back to the steps to burn him down. I only pose this approach if the original adds arent going down fast enough. Also, a healer would be dedicated to the hunter as they would already be on the 3rd tank anyway (that is now dps). I have read that this approach is working for some people. Thoughts, criticisms, improvements, junk?

Great approach for the Adherents! I am assuming it would be best then to split up the hunters as equal as possible to concentrate on the adherent adds to pick up any slack or lack of physical damage. Our physical damage mele seem to be having issues downing the normal adds.

Thanks especially for the “Am I Doing It Right?” section! I found that to be a very good read. And yep, I was beaten in the boss DPS by a rogue and a feral druid but now I don’t have to go weep in the corner.
