    "Lock and Load" proccs (Noob question)

    I recently starting playing my hunter again - Havnt played it since Cata.

    My main question is: When I get the [Lock and Load] proccs, should I spam Explosive-shot or should I wait for the dot to finish before casting the next?
    Since your perk makes it 1second longer, it feels like a waste to spam it and not keep the dot for a longer period of time..

    Will the damage carry over, or will I loose 3 secs worth of dot when I cast it again? (4 sec dot minus a global)

    Some people say I should let the dot tick 1 time, other say to spam it, to let the CD start counting, for most possible Explosive shots overall in a fight.

    Sorry if this question is answered in a sticky somewhere, just couldnt find the exact answer I needed.

    It's been answered millions of times.

    It doesn't overwrite. You should spam it.

    Well it does that now, but before WOD (As far as i know) it did not, so being that he has returned to his hutner i'd say this is a valid question, don't bash him.

    So does it stack the damage then? because even if i spam 3 it only lasts 3 seconds. I never notice it hit harder though

    You've been able to spam ES since the start of MoP.

    I wasn't bashing him, just saying it's been answered a LOT.

    It refreshes the dot and adds the additional damage ON TOP of the damage being done already. It is, as I said, perfectly fine to spam it.

    Sometimes when I spam Explosive Shot, I set myself on fire. Don't risk setting yourself on fire. Don't spam Explosive Shot.*

    (* unless you want to deal a lot of damage)

    Search is a gift from the gods. Why have we as a species forsaken it.

    LnL procs stack their exist dmg to new one, buffing new one with more dmg. like you shoot first LnL proc ES crit 10k, you get 2-3 LnL in row after 2shot, ES is critting like +18k. My highest ES crit is without dmg% buff like 25k crit/tick after 6LnL proc in row
