Dear Blizzard...

Dear Blizzard,

I've done your work for you and revamped the Marksmanship tree to make it raid-viable. Please take the changes below and implement them as soon as possible.

Marksmanship, Tier 1:
[No changes]

Marksmanship, Tier 2:
Improved Hunter's Mark
Causes 20/40/60/80/100% of your Hunter's Mark ability's attack power bonus to apply as melee as well. Additionally, causes your Hunter's Mark ability to increase damage done by magical spells and effects by 5/10/15/20/25% of its attack power bonus.

Efficiency:
Decreases the mana cost of your Hunter abilities by 3/6/9/12/15%.

Marksmanship, Tier 3:
Rapid Killing
Decreases the cooldown of your Rapid Fire ability by 1/2 minutes. Additionally, after killing a target that grants experience or Honor, increases the damage of the next Auto Shot, Arcane Shot, Aimed Shot or Multi-Shot by 10/20%. Lasts 20 seconds.

Marksmanship, Tier 4:
[No changes]

Marksmanship, Tier 5:
Barrage
Increases the damage done by your Arcane Shot, Multi-Shot, and Volley spells by 5/10/15%.

Marksmanship, Tier 6:
Combat Experience
Increases your total Agility by 2/4% and increases your total Intellect by 5/10%. In addition, increases your maximum Mana by 10/20%.

Marksmanship, Tier 7:
Careful Aim
Increases your Ranged Attack Power by 15/30/45% of your total Intellect. Additionally, increases the Ranged Attack Power coefficient of all shots by 5/10/15%.

Trueshot Aura
Increase the melee and ranged attack power of all party members within 45 yards by 3/6/9/12% of the Hunter's Ranged Attack Power. Lasts until cancelled.

Improved Barrage
Increase the critical strike chance of Arcane Shot and Multi-Shot by 3/6/9%. Additionally, increases the chance to avoid interruption while channeling Volley by 33/66/100%, and decreases the cast time of Multi-Shot by 0.1/0.3/0.5 seconds.

Marksmanship, Tier 8:
[No changes]

Marksmanship, Tier 9:
Silencing Shot
Fires a silencing shot at the target, dealing 50% of weapon damage, interrupting the spell currently being cast, and silencing the target for 3 seconds.


No need to pay me.

Thanks,
Rilgon Arcsinh

I actually really like your ideas in this. Im a 70 ne hunter from shadowmoon. 11/41/9, 2v2/ 3v3 spec. MM sucks for raiding. Plain and simple. I have full epic pve and pvp gear and i still get smashed by poorly geared players because this tree is broken. Keep up the good work.

What about concussive barrage? That talent is useless in PvE and sub-par in PvP seeing as you hardly ever use Auto-Shot.
