New Hunter shot ideaFollow

Too strong a shot to be added to Hunters while the rest of the wow world screams nerf. Everyone would just complain that we got another guaranteed 1000 damage shot. Not too mention I would have to agree that it would be a little OP. For 70s that would gaurantee about 1250 damage over 15 secs, and for some classes at 70 and most classes under 70, 1250 HP is 20% of their HP. So essentially we would hit them with Fatal Shot at 20% and run cuz we know they'd be dead 15 secs later.

P.S. Just get some more attack power and launch one last arcane shot for 1k damage lol. We're unstoppable already man!

1) Why do you feel we need another shot?

2) Great idea, a shot which is based on weapon damage, has a non scaling dot effect and some rather stupid effect which can lead to a ton of exploits. Enraging mob going after the hunter, who started to run some 30 seconds before and the whole raid chasing the mob and nuking him? Yay, thats a shot we really need...

hmm useless I say. If you want a new shot, which i think we don't really need it, there was on Allakhazam hunter spell list(or maybe it's still there) a Black Arrow or Black Shot that lowers target speed by 70% and drains 300 mana and Hp, effect lasts 30 seconds. This would be nice in thee survival tree as the last point.

HAHA i like that last idea about the pet.. i agree that would be pretty cool.. but you would have ali hunters like me screaming for something like that for them.. maybe a bright arrow to summpn the heroic spirt of the ali pet to fight for 10-12 sec.. yea thats sounds gay but just brain storming..=)

viper sting is not useless! It's useless vs a mage, warlock and priest, but for a paladin with allready low mana it is devastating, or a shaman and even a hunter.
What i really don't like is Scorpion Sting. 5% lower chance to hit is useless at 70 when, even if you don't want you make 70-100 hit rating. Scorpid Sting should scale somehow or atleast make it the way it was, when it reduced Agility and Strenght.

How about...

Snipe Shot- 250 mana, 2 sec cast, 30 sec cooldown, 30-75 yd. range. A long range shot that deals 50% weapon damage and stuns the target for 5 sec.

Maybe a little overpowered, but I think its a good idea.

Neck Shot
x0% of your total mana
Instant cast
0-10 yards
Requires Ranged Weapon

Attempt to execute your target with a fatal shot that increases ranged damage by <Aimed Shot value>. The hit will always be critcal, but has a x0% chance to miss due to the close range. Can only be used on stunned targets and must be performed from behind.

I always wanted a sort of finisher.

Actually this is a really great ability.
I suspect you do not do very much PvE. Giving your tank a buff (ok it gives the monsters a debuff, but the result is the same) that makes him take 5% less damage is huge. Actually I was in groups in which the tank stated that they'll start looking for hunters in there groups just because of this nice little debuff.

Ever though about the fact that not every spell is useful in PvP? This is a clear PvE spell, whilst others are more for PvP.
