Hunter multiple stings, bug or intended?

No, only one sting per individual target.

However, the tooltip clearly says “only ONE sting per Hunter can be active, on ANY ONE target”.

and If i recall in the past it operated as so.

Don’t get me wrong. I think this is a good change if so. Allows more counter play to multiple targets in PvP, and a rotation change to multiple targets in PvE. Brings more flavor to the class. I hope it sticks, but seems like a bug entirely.

The sting damage itself is fairly minor, even with changes to AP scaling for stings. Not really game breaking or class breaking.
