Oh, I'm still in the 'when one skill is countering your build, your build is shit' camp. Fire damage has more counters, absorptions, etc than any other element, and elemental damage in general comes with so many opportunities for resistance. Just because no one's commenting on the 10th thread where the same few people complain about the same few things doesn't mean people have changed their minds. It just means I looked back in and gave a new suggestion because the old suggestions of 'make the skill bad because I don't like it' get very tired and I'd rather be constructive toward someone else's ideas than dismiss it outright as pointless complaining as usual. It's nice to have ideas that would change the game, and the suggestion I made seems to hit everyone's needs of 'make explosion not some problem for the niche case of people having too much dodge to survive a skill with a cooldown' and 'don't make it useless because that's what everyone who strives for a 0% hit chance on themselves wants.'

Dodge is just a bad design feature in general. It was at least okay when it was a class feature with some caveats like it was for Demon Hunter. People insisting that they should have a character who is wet tissue paper but has effectively 100% damage reduction in PVP is just silly, and that's what dodge tanks want. I've missed attacks in PVP, specifically NOT used abilities that would 100% miss but would otherwise stomp on a target that's boosted their evasion by that point, but the moment something does them damage they go into chat and say 'dodge is dead.' You know what Dodge should be used for? An ability score tax on people to make sure they invest *some* skill or risk missing a bunch and a way to punish the people who push their hit to some obscene limit at the cost of survivability or other stats.
