8926 changes

PTRs and Beta realms are both getting this patch, two things worth mentioning.

  • Misdirect is now on a 3o sec cooldown (down from 2 mins)
What it means: Misdirect is a free three shot aggro misplacement tool. Currently it's used for opening up damage earlier than other classes, or pulling. It's nice if a healer pulls aggro or a tank goes down and needs to be re-established on the list. With the cooldown change, aggro shouldn't be a problem for hunters AT ALL. Especially survival hunters. If you FD, then 15 secs later MD, you should be 12 shots worth of damage behind the tank at MAX. More aggro dumps = happy hunter deepz.

  • Freezing arrow (lvl 80)
What it does: fires a freezing arrow that places a freezing trap on the ground.
What it means: Places a normal freezing trap anywhere within 20 yards of the hunter. Awesome. No more set trap, pull mob, run away, turn, resume dps. Also very handy when chain trapping, or if a trap needs to be placed between another player and the mob.

Good things are a-commin for hunters.
