Trivia[edit]

  • The skill tooltip description used to state that it will bleed foes caught in the explosion. This used to be the case in a pre-release build of the game but it was removed; the tooltip description remained as a reflection of its previous mechanic for some time thereafter.
  • This skill was renamed from Explosive Shot on 15 April, 2014.
