now I know most of you will not beleive me...well, I dont really care what people beleive anymore. I just try it myself And I kick "ass" and Im enjoying this everytime hehe.
Yes, spell penetration does affect explosive shot bcz obviously explosive shoot is made of fire aka "fire spell".
Now, I don't assume anything here...bcz I TRIED it and it works. I'm usually rank1 in all bgs and got the most kills AND damage done as well from both allies and horde teams.
I'm also top 2 highest DPS in 25 men raid and top 1 dps in 10 men raids.
Also, its not just about spell or armor penetration when it comes to play with a hunter on SV. It also has to do with the way you play...the trinket...and the attribute you chosen for SV and PLS get your 8% (263) HIT CAP no matter what. if you dont, all what I said above won't apply. trust me. I tried.
so as to answer your question, yes, spell penetration works and I only got 70. maybe Ill try 80 sp and see if it works better...but im already rank 1 kills and damage...dont know if ill go higher for that for pvp.
have fun all.
