Yuppley, I don'tare about the rating system. I've seen <100 sages, it doesn't mean anything to me. It's usually odd to rate someone down just bause you disagree with them though. I only downrate if someone is being belligerent or a total unhelpful idiot, but that's just me, I don'tare what other people do. My thoughts were forward looking anyway. It seems like they'll be dropping the damage for it so yeah, it loses its luster there. It used to be that Aimed was only a viable shot for a big hit. Then they added the healing debuff whh made it viable in PvP (though I do use it against Blood Knights PvE in Shattered Sun stuff for the same reason IF they get their heal off- whh is rare). So myomments were 'forward thinking' if they kept the damage the same as it used to have. I wasn't addressing a given shot rotation. cording to most folks, the entireoept of shot rotation will need to be reworked in some fashion sie the Autos will be un-linked from the spials. With the redtion in damage and making it an instant, then that will likely emphasize the debuff, not the damage so I agree with you that it has less utility for a 'quk down' of a target. However, my statement still makes sense. If you're ever in a situation where downing a target qukly has a priority over mana endurae then you usually will do more burst dps if you dump almost every damage spial you have, espially if they don't interrupt auto. That's essentially what I was saying. I didn't run my Hunter last night (first night in a long time) so I haven't had ahae to pay attention to thehanges in Aimed. I'll play with it some on Sunday and see how it hashanged for myself. I haven't paid attention to it sie it's usually just an opener for me. Oddly, now that I think about it, if it's instant, the Beta 'glyph' as listed in the glyph thread will have tohange as it's useless to redeast time on an instant... LOL!
