Precise Shots required talent in new MM talent tree

Ill start this by saying i am not an experienced MM hunter, like at all. But i noticed in the new MM talent tree on the PTR, Precise Shots talent is required to be able to have enough points allocated to get passed the 4th row.

In the live talent tree, thats fine, as it’s just an all out buff talent, but in the new talent tree, it increases the time between your auto shot by 2 seconds, which seems like a lot.

Am i crazy or is that crazy? I would think if it has a negative attribute, it would be optional, no?

Exact text reads:

“Aimed Shot causes your next Arcane Shot or Multi-Shot to deal 100% more damage and cost 70% less Focus. Your Auto Shot damage is increased by 100% but the time between your Auto Shots is increased by 2.0 sec.”

Aimed shot is so much stronger now that this is needed to counterbalance lock and load procs.

When the 2-set procs, you essentially get these 2 seconds back.

Finally, after rapid fire you get 1 sec back too.

So with the 2-set proc and rapid fire you’re even firing autoshots faster than on live
