3 sec cast for aimed shot in sod making it useless ability. Game designers need to do something. For example add to rune Master Marksman Aimed Shot cast is now 1.5 sec but increases cooldown to 10 sec

Agreed, also make it AoE and increase damage by 200%, while at it.

+1 . Also make it reset its CD if it crits.

What do you mean “if”… it’s Aimed shot - there should be no “if”.

yes yes & yes.
even with 100% crit, its still less than 200 dps. the cast time kills its usefulness, and the exploshot we got instead was murdered.

I mean I use Aimed and my dps is fine in the raids. 
My fellow guildie is MM fully because I bring Lion and he outperforms me by quite a bit with it and Chimera+Serpent.

its not fine. it cost 75 mana and does almost same damage as autoshot. and in 3 sec you also lose a bit autoattack time

its an audi a3.
if u had to take it to a racetrack and compete with it, it wouldnt be very good tho.
No I don’t, but I also won’t stay forever level 25.

The purpose of it in vanilla is a wpvp or wpve opener. Think of it as a rogue’s ambush, not a part of optimal dps rotation on boss. It “collects” your dps over 3 sec and does it all at once.

Oh well hello there chap, I do say, would you mind terribly staying over there for the next hour while I try to get my aimed shot off!
You see if you come to close it cancels it my boy.

Wait Till you scatter Trap a rogue and cast aimed multi Combo in His face. Bye Bye rogue
The issue with aimed shot is the same as arcane/serpent, there is a damage component that simply doesn’t scale.
Autoshot + 70 dmg (normalized at 2.8 speed) is good for era, but in SoD it’s laughable especially for a 3s cast that costs a ton of mana and delays the next auto.

please, do enlighten us.
are u going to tell me about ure questgreens and steelarrow xbow with 3,4 speed? ive tested that extensively - ure max unbuffed aimed on a crittter crits around 600, around the same on a bossmob with all buffs.
thats only 200 dps at 100% crit.
as u dont have 100% crit, do u…?
its more like 120-130 dps if u put it in a rotation.
now, its intended for a rotation, but actually nerfs the rotation.
melee auto just goes like a tick, we need to weave it. hence the skill to be good at hunter, is so much higher than warrior.
I recall Aimed shot being something that picks up as you level, a bigger difference from arcane shot in points of full damage.
A opener that is to do a huge chunk of damage at the start, then you keep using Arcane shot instead since they share CD’s.
Though a marksman rune that would lower Aimed Shots cast time could be interesting, but hunters are still very easy to become OP by just some simple changes or new runes.
i recall aimed shot litteraly 1 shotting people at later levels, hunters are so spoiled its insane.

Oh yeah, the juicy aimed shot crits you’d see here and there.
You knew when you got scatter shot into a trap you’d might as well go and grab a drink, you knew you’d probably die by a deadly combo from the hunter if they were good.

It would be alright if the other cars were of the same caliber
