Lock and Load proc delay

This is my first post so forgive me if this isn't quite clear…

I have a lvl icon_eek Srv hunter (who doesn't?). I have noticed that my Lock and Load proc is always late…I get the proc and then I have to fire off 2-3 Steady shots before I can initiate my sequence of Explosve Shots. This also occurs when the mobs I'm battling are almost dead so I end up wasting this proc to fire Kill Shot.

Has anyone else noticed this kind of behavior? I think it's killing m DPS (which is only 3-4k whereas similarly gear hunters I know are 4k consistently)

Thanks. This is a great hunter site!

When Lock and Load procs it doesn't refresh the cooldown on Explosive Shot it makes to where your next two Explosive Shots, after the proc, trigger no CD – other than the global cooldown, cost no mana, and no ammo. So yes, you will have to fire your filler shot sometimes three times waiting for the CD to be up on Explosive.

Hope this helps.

Thanks for the info. The only problem here is that it happens about 98% of the time. I wouldn't mind if it were once in a while but it is pretty damn consistant.

RNG my friend. It can be annoying stuff.

Back when I was a full time SV hunter and doing daillies I never worried about firing any other shot but Explosive because by the time it ticked for it's full duration the mob I was fighting was so near dead my pet always finished it off. I never really worried about another shot, thus RNG (the nemesis of hunter's the world over) never got the chance to rear it's ugly head.
