Explosive Shot is a Hunter ability from the Survival tree. It is a great shot to use in place of Arcane Shot. It deals roughly 3 times as much damage as Arcane shot, making it one of the core abilities of the Survival Hunter.
Hotfix (2009-04-21): "Critical strikes from the Hunter ability Explosive Shot should properly trigger Thrill of the Hunt again."
Patch 3.1.0 (2009-04-14): Base damage lowered by 10%. Attack power scaling reduced by 12.5%. The periodic damage from this ability no longer triggers Judgement of Wisdom and Judgement of Light.
Patch 3.0.8 (2009-01-20): Damage increased substantially, and additional scaling added to compensate Survival Hunters for the decrease in power of Steady Shot. No longer deals damage to secondary target.
