Dear blizz
Make aimed shot castable while moving again and lower the cast time!

I mean sure I guess. But they would have to tune it to hit like a wet Noodle then… Cant expect it to hit as hard as it does today while still getting shorter cast time And castable while moving… That’s pretty unrealistic.

We had it back in warlords! it was good then. now its the wet noodle! Back in warlords the only classes i could not take one on one were rogues pallies and monks. All the other classes I hunted. Aim shot is a wet noodle currently. lets get back to being a heavy hitter
I just remember that WoD had hard-hitting instant cast Chim. Shot that you could use to push someone into Kill Shot range and then Kill Shot… or was it 2x Kill Shots (2 charges), I can’t remember. Kill Shot actually earned its namesake back then re: damage, and I’m not sure it’s the way it is now… perhaps because we have near constant procs. of it w/ Venthyr. There was the Powershot talent which was another strong shot w/ a shorter cast time than Aimed Shot and a knockback effect and line damage (I think). What was the offensive CD for MM in WoD… Rapid Fire? When I look at what Chim. Shot is now…
Anyway, I’m not sure that AS hits like a wet noodle now. I get 30k+ crits in battlegrounds… that’s a significant chunk of a health pool.

we did not have rapid fire back in WoD and I dont remember chim being a push back either. What I do remember is that we did not have to stand around as a warrior beats on us while we wait 2 seconds for aim shot to cast. Lets get this fixed while the devs are listening
No, Powershot not Chim. Shot. Powershot would knock everything back that it hit.

oh yeah and would do damage too
With the rumors I hear of MM hunters absolutely terrorizing BGs, I don’t think the PvP side would be fans of this.
not our problem
I’m sure glad you’re not a game designer.

I would have kept WoD MM instead of what we have now.

Perhaps so, but making the current Aimed Shot castable with a lower cast time would just be broken - there has to be some kind of balance here.
get rid of double tap then. I honestly feel thats what is holding us back.

My idea is adding this talent:
“Aimed Shot is now castable on the move. When you stand still, you gain a buff that increases Aimed Shot damage by 3% every 0.5s, stacking 5 times.”
And regarding Double Tap, I agree it’s holding MM back. Too much burst for pvp.

i love it!. give us this as that duel option with double tap. i bet more will go with this idea over double tap
I find it really really hard to keep melee off me in BGS on my hunter alt. I’m actually switching back to my druid and rogue because of this. I rolled a hunter to have fun in BGs. But it seems like kiting doesn’t exist in shadowlands. Melee have an unlimited amount of ways to stay directly in your face. And scatter/trap share DRs. The only time MM seems to be good is if you can sit still autocasting with nothing attacking you. This can happen sometimes in BGs like AV. But even then, people you get low just run out of your range lol.

Thank you! MM is utterly wicked when we are able to stand still and free caste. Till we are charged stunned fear dot dot pounded to death…

I think an excellent middle ground would be for Aimed Shot to be castable while moving, but it reduces our movement speed during the cast. I also miss mobile Aimed Shot a lot.

In bg’s you’re supposed to fire from the safety of your own team
EDIT: Or have a reliable and strong fire team with you
Once you lvl up to max you are going to find that does not happen a lot of the time
