WOW - Patch 2.3: Aimed Shot Cast Time Reduced : World of Warcraft General Discussions

Eyonix let the following out about the Hunter's Aimed Shot, which recently just got a mortal strike-like effect added to it.

In patch 2.3, aimed shot will not only reduces healing done to the target by 50% for a ten seconds, but we're also reducing the shot time by 0.5 seconds.

To those who flame that 3.0 is still too slow, lets be reasonable. We're simply being conservative. We may lower it further (probably not before 2.3), but we want to see effective the ability is with these changes implemented. Keep in mind too, there were other changes made for 2.3 that improve hunter viability and effectiveness in PvP. In short, we need to see how all the changes play out before making anymore changes.
