One of our wow gold players was entirely convinced our DPS would drop.
It seemed like a nerf, but then the in-game tooltips showed the 3, 7, and 10% proc chances anyway and it didn't seem as bad even though we still had to put up with Black Arrow not having that 100% uptime. Lock and Load appears to proc more often than it used to. Theoretically that's impossible seeing as you have less time with periodic damage and the same proc rate.In fact, the Survival Hunters could no longer function as well as they used to because of the changes to Lock and Load. One of our wow gold players was entirely convinced our DPS would drop and we would fail miserably in raids. That is until he actually went to the Heroic Training Dummy for awhile. That was when we began talking about the skill in depth and now we discuss it every so often. As it stands now, we're both firmly convinced that Lock and Load procs more now than it used to, even though the two skills that Lock and Load has relied on work in two completely different ways. We've both since a drastic increase in DPS as well.There is something different about Lock and Load now that it relies on Black Arrow. Whatever that something is, it makes Lock and Load have an observable increase in procs. On bosses now, we clearly see it occur more often than it used to and we don't have to make sure the buff is up 100% of the time, although we still have to make sure that Black Arrow is on the boss as much as possible.
