In the Hunter mechanics change for patch 2.0.1 and TBC, aimed shot was modified to reset the autoshoot timer, making it no longer a shot to be woven in between normal ranged weapon attacks. Also, the casting time has been increased, making it an opening attack, first and foremost.

However, arcane shot was significantly buffed, as it now benefits from attack power, thus replacing Aimed Shot as the primary DPS ability for level 60 hunters.

aimed shot is a hunter must have spell with its high damage you can get off to a crazy start with it.try not to use it as an end or part way through the kill sho or you might get owned

but very nice spell indeed

This is a superb opener skill. There's a certain feeling of satisfaction everytime it crits. :-) But bewarned, using this opener in a group can mess up the group aggro management. Have Feign Death ready.

As Everclarity said, Aimed Shot can no longer be 'woven' into the autoshot cycles. They have introduced a replacement skill called Steady Shot at level 62. The good news is that it is a 1 second shot, so it can be woven into the cycles. The bad news is that it is not available to pre 62 hunters.

Thing spell is REALLY good i hitted with a lowbie gun 470 with rank2! i dont wana know how hard i am hitting with a good weapons ><.

Aimed shot, at least at high levels, has a very limited use now, and is mainly a filler point on the way to mortal shots.

High mana cost, resets auto shot (auto shot will take weapon speed time to go off after an aimed shot now). The reset auto shot makes its usefulness in pvp a lot lower than it used to be.

Commento di 51379

The only real use that i have found for this ability in pvp is when breaking CC...(eg. an ice trap) I have heard reports of well-equipped, raid buffed hunters critting over 6k on Gruul. But even when you figure this massive amount of damage in... it still does not add up to your 3.5 secs of steady shot,arcane shot, and autoshot rotation... especially if you have the mana to throw in a multi shot.

Commento di 50617

This is a great ability to Misdirect with... With Rank 7 and mediocre stats an Aimed Shot, Multi Shot (or arcane), and Distracting Shot, you will generate around 2300 threat, straight on your tank, and if you crit on Aimed? Golly, if you DONT get at least 3k threat on the tank on one single attack, you can just stop playing.

However once you have a high (25%) crit rate, you will wanna drop distracting for steady, or even autoshot, because a crit will generate alot more threat than a base distracting.

Commento di 85128

every hunter should train in marksmen at least to ba able to use this shot

Commento di 88079

i had aimed shot from lvl 20 to lvl 51 then i unlearned my talents for beastial wrath :P:P:P:P:PxD but i can tell u that it is very god!!!!!!!!

Commento di 91451

Unless your MM, is this even worth getting?

You can't use it in fights, unless you've trapped the target, and its damage can be compared with steady shot.

I'd put the talent into something else unless your MM.

IMO

Commento di vexis58

The cooldown is equal to 6 seconds + the speed of your ranged weapon. For example, if you have a bow with a 2.7 second speed, the cooldown of Aimed Shot will be 8.7 seconds.

Also, the cast time is 3 seconds, not 2.5 seconds.

Commento di 174478

at level 30, i couldnt train Aimed Shot rank 2 because i needed rank 1, but trainer didnt give rank 1, can somebody plz tell me what to do?

Commento di 174478

never meter, i found out...sory for being a noob, my talents were on something else ;)

Commento di 297733

I dont use aimed shot in my build doesn't do enough damage to be worth while using in shot rotation better to use Steady shot and do more damage with Chimera shot and Arcane shot

Commento di Kristopher

You mean to tell me I have to train to aim my shots? I thought I was doing that all along....

Commento di 81123

Do you, the player, aim the shot, or is it an automatic aimed shot?

Commento di Roxon

Also, it appears to share the same cooldown with multishot.

Commento di 257126

For those, like me, who are confused by the fact that the trainer sells ranks 2+ of this skill, but not rank 1, it requires a tier 3 Marksmanship talent point in "Aimed Shot" to get Rank 1.

Commento di Qariz

for some reason this now shares a cooldown with Multi-Shot

Commento di Randtor

How do you get Aimed shot- level one?

Commento di Thottbot

For anyone who is not sure about buying this skill, or is unimpressed with its first impressions!

This skill becomes one of the most powerful in the game later on!
If you need proof, as a level 45 hunter, i managed to 1 hit kill a level 32 mage! As you progress, and your critical percentage and effect increases, its possible to cause tremendous damage.

Against PvE the effect is especially powerful, as the time delay over taking the shot can be neglected by using aimed-shot as an opener to the combat. As an example, at level 46 my hunter is causing on average 200-250 per hit. With a critical with aimed shot i have done several hits at over 1000 damage!

I can only presume that at higher level (and with improved critical) the effect is even more substantial!

Commento di Thottbot

guys going for full survival or beast master should at least put some points in the ranged tree and getthis very nice way to start off any fight. And guy 3 post's over me just about a 45 ANYTHING can take out a 32 mage. This dose take out a nice chunk of life from ne class and its well worth the few seconds it takes to get lose.

Commento di Thottbot

Aimed shot is the strongest hunter attack, if you go full marksmanship and get trueshot aura you can hit just as high as a mage at lvl 60, it is possible to crit over 3000 with aimed shot but my best is only 2400 on a 55 warlock in av. I was 52 then but im 55 now.

Commento di Thottbot

I think the name of this spell is pretty funny.

Does the hunter not normally aim? Does he just fire off a shot and hope it hits something?

Commento di Thottbot

with a night elf hunter from the testrealms i got a 2500 crit against a... sqirrel. 0o

Commento di Thottbot

All in all, i know people that can Two shot Warriors with this thing (and Uber Gear naturally)

And the other fantastic thing about it, you don't have to go to far into the tree to get it

Commento di Thottbot

Aimed shot is somewhat a gamble but the payoff is HUGE if you get it right. I Highly suggest reviewing game mechanics to maximize chance to crit. Several skills in the Marksmanship tree will help do this. As well as armor (raging beserkers helm, dragonscale gauntlets, etc) An aimed shot will give an opposing player time to get in or out of range (3 seconds), but I have found that as long as the player isn't excessively in or out of range you can still get off the shot and hit the enemy. So even if the guy starts to run for it, you can get the first aimed shot off.

The very nice thing about aimed shot that there is an auto shot right after it. With the right combination of gear, two crits in a row are not unheard of. Typically on my pvp designed hunter @ level 56 I will crit for about 1400-1600, and if the follow up auto shot crits its about 400-600. Were talking around 2000 damage as an opening move. A nice follow up after this is a concussive shot, which may give you a stun, and give a chance for yet another aimed shot, auto shot combo. If your not beast mastery, i find this is the best way to take out casters.

The biggest weakness of the aimed shot is definetly the 3 second casting time, but the good news is that it is not interuptable.

The biggest trick I can give you with aimed shot is to write a macro to use devilsaur eye (increasing attack power by 150 and chance to hit by 2%) ,then aimed shot. Doing this does two things: 1) obviously lets you get the extra attack power on the aimed shot and 2) as a side effect, hides the fact your doing an aimed shot. The activiatio of the devisaur eye cause the character to do an act kinda like he's changing aspects. You'll see him raise his weapon then suddenly activating the eye, which is almost identical looking to the aspect change, then he stands there, at ease, a few seconds later, releasing the aimed shot out of NOWHERE.

Thats a nice thing, especially in pvp against an opponent who is deciding whether or not to attack you. Maybe a 2000 damage opener will help him make a decision.

Set up a fire, frost trap, then put mark on enemy,make sure to use aspect of the hawk... then aim shot, which is followed immediatly by auto-shot, but you can also toss out a Multi-Shot, Concussion, etc. on top of that.

My lvl 22 hunter crit'd for 230, then crit'd with auto-shot for another 95ish, then crit with multi-shot for another 110, right after it hit, I sent in the pet as he walked into my fire trap....this was all on a 32 warrior, it was a pretty quick death all in all.

make sure to end the duel with a /bow, /insult

It can be, it's happened a few times to my anger lol! Normally by another hunter who prob knows what i'm about to do.

Commento di Thottbot

i was surprised when i got aimed shot that it cools down simultaneously with arcane shot. but it is one of the best hunter attacks. even as a lowbie, it can drain up to a third of an enemy's life of the same level.

Commento di Thottbot

After getting everything from beast mastery that I wanted I decided to start working on marksmanship. And after playing around with this a bit and getting the highest rank I could I can see that fights are going to be a lot shorter from now on. :o

Commento di Thottbot

my 61 hunter got a crit with aimedshot for 1800 once....but my highest crit to date is 3100 with my gnomish death ray....man that was a quick fight

Commento di Thottbot

i just realised with a night elf hunter +shadow meld+aimed shot=deadly and great killing ability XP

Commento di Thottbot

you'r just dumb,a mage has pyroblast a 6 sec cast noob same thing only hire crits,my mage crit a boar in outlands for 4,000 at 61 im arcane/fire,it's nice to have two 4k crits in a row:).

Commento di Thottbot

i have 20 hunter and can aim shot for 250 with lil timmys peashoter,12% chance to crit,only thing is i dont know were my next upgrade is going to be from i know i could hit harder.

ps.lil timmys peashooter sucks for lvling.

Commento di Thottbot

Yeh this skill is great i suppose but in pvp only when u get it off as ur opening shot...as a warrior if i notice the hunter first i charge, hamstring, and that hunter aint going nowhere. But if the hunter sees me first he aimed shots me and ouch that hurts...course then i just intercept, hanstring and he still goes down.

Commento di Thottbot

A good hunter would see you, lay a freeze trap down....you charge ( now frozen ) back up, Aimned Shot, daze you, shoot a few DoT and Intance Shots Ect. and by the time you get to him ur 25% hp, and your done be4 you get him 1/2 hp

Commento di Thottbot

End game with greens, some blues and 3/6 warlord's pursuit (60pvp epic set) gets my aimed shot to do 3330 damage on cloth wearers. Now tell me that ain't lethal..

Commento di Thottbot

People, any hunter with Aimed Shot should seriously consider getting a wolf as a pet. Then macro the wolf's Ferocious Howl in with Aimed Shot. This is a VERY effective combo. Here are more ways to increase damage.

-Slow Ranged weapon thats your level (Slower attack speed on a weapon generally means a Stronger inital damage.)
-Scope
-Trinket
-Agility
-Attack Power
-Critical Chance/Rating
-Quality ammunition
-Full Marksman Spec.
-Potions (If you have the ability or money)
-Follow ups (Aimed, then Multi-shot, then Arcane Shot, then Concussion, then Steady shot, etc.)

Well, enjoy your hunting.

Commento di Thottbot

okay, i have a great question.

if one respecs into marksmanship for aimed shot (rank 1), gets aimed shot (rank 2) from a hunter trainer, and then respecs out, does one keep aimed shot (rank whatever)?

it's been bothering me for a while, and i'd like someone to tell me if it works.

Commento di Thottbot

No, you do not keep the first rank.

Commento di Thottbot

hey im a level 49 hunter.. as a tip start off with marksmanship till u get level 40, then unlearn ur talents to beast mastery, my pet actaully does 350-450 in beastial wrath pretty amazing ha.. im a twink in gorefiend 480 agility!

Commento di Thottbot

every hunter should try to get this by lvl 61 even if they are bm. I'm a bm hunter, intimidate+bladefist's breadth trinket (+200atk power)+aim shot =ownage

Commento di Thottbot

I don't know why but i notice a LOT of people complaining that the target sees them trying to get the shot off and stops them before they can do anything ... but.............. waht if and only if you actually send a pet in first hmm? I use a windserpent so from a few yards this thing gets the aggro ahead of time with it's dive move to swiftly get in there.... i mean come on it aint that tough. And so the warrior or shaman sees you and tries to get you that should be a blessing, think about it, lay down a frost trap and temp them towards you with a really big fato'l crit or even better yet just a teaser that loooks like your going to land a big fato'l crit haha they frozen you get your shot we are all happy now..... Woopty freaking doo

Commento di Thottbot

thats it! im going narksmanship at my 3 alt!

Commento di Thottbot

I can't find aimed shot (Rank 1) In my hunter training skills. I'm a level 44 hunter who doesn't update his skills often. I've checked at almost all the hunter trainers. Please help!

Commento di Thottbot

you have to be marksman for it

Commento di Thottbot

well, just yesterday i respecced to MM just to go and check out how it is. what i found out is that it absolutley rules, seriusly, ever wanted to crit so much that you are almost 2 shotting you mobs? ever wanted to make a hell of damage in 3seconds? ever wanted people to go say stuff like what the hell when they are dead 3 secs into the duel?

well :D go MM and you'll have all that fun, whats better , you pet is still taking most of the damage if you know what your doing :D.

I'd like to come with some beginner tips around the Aimed Shot ability. Some proffesionals, and many others, will probably find these tips OBVIOUS, but i'll give them for those who doesn't.

TIP 1: Aimed Shot actually doesn't give very good DPS (Damage Per Second), although it DOES give a great damage! Thus, my tip is not using it in combat. Use it when going into combats!
For example... you have an average 2.0 attack speed bow, lets say that, and you attack with, say, 75 damage, while having Aimed Shot Rank 2 (level 28)
Now... pick for example:
S (Second) 0: Auto-shoot for 75 damage
S (Second) 1: Nothing
S (Second) 2: Auto-shoot for 75 damage
S (Second) 3: Nothing
S (Second) 4: Auto-shoot for 75 damage
S (Second) 5: Nothing

Now, 5 seconds auto-shooting would mean 225 damage in this case. This is alternative 1.
Now, to alternative 2. Aimed Shot.

S (Second) 0: Aimed Shot 3.5 secs left
S (Second) 1: Aimed Shot 2.5 secs left
S (Second) 2: Aimed Shot 1.5 secs left
S (Second) 3: Aimed Shot 0.5 secs left
S (Second) 3.5: Aimed Shot shoots, 75+120 (unluckily, there's some reduction. There is with Aimed Shot. Thus, let us decrease the damage with 20.)This means aimed shot for 175 damage
S (Second) 4: Auto-shoot for 75 damage + Arcane Shot for (?) 75 damage (The arcane Shot damage doesnt really matter, since both will use it. Neither does it if you've specced the cooldown or not, still it'd be same result.)Thi,s however, means 325 damage
S (Second) 5: Nothing

(Note that although it started at second 0, i mean in-battle when your pet has aggro).
Now, this would mean alternative 1 deals 225 damage, while alternative 2 deals 325 damage. It's 100 damage difference, and seriously, the aimed shot have taken lots more mana!
Now, to alternative 3.

S (Second) 0: Auto-shoot for 75 damage + Arcane Shot for 75 damage
S (Second) 1: Serpent Sting (DoT, 30 dmg per 3 sec... or so :P)
S (Second) 2: Auto-shoot for 75 damage
S (Second) 3: Nothing
S (Second) 4: Auto-shoot for 75 damage + Enemy takes 30 dmg from Serpent Sting
S (Second) 5: Nothing

Now, option 3 would mean 330 damage instead of 325. Also, it'd require less mana.

Now we got the results:
1; Auto-shot only: 225 dmg
2; Aimed Shot + Abilities + Autoshot: 325 dmg
3; Auto-shot + abilities: 330 damage

There could be bigger differenses.

TIP 2: If you have a really slow aimed weapon, Aimed Shot in-battle may actually be good.

There was going to be a TIP 3, but i forgot it.
Wow... this post sure feels unneccesary... but when i've written it, anyways, i could aswell post it!
Good luck :)

At 28 I received the ability to train Aimed Shot Rank 2 from my Hunter Trainer. Believe it's +120 to ranged damage.

Commento di Allakhazam

where do you train in the aimed shot rank 1?

Commento di Allakhazam

You get aimed shot rank 1 from your talent tree then the higher ranks from your hunter trainer.

Commento di Allakhazam

i missed with this lol

Commento di Allakhazam

Its definitely worth looking into. I see high lvl hunters with it all the time.

Commento di Arddy24

Hi all.

Could someone provide some light on my Hunter's Aimed Shot?

These stats are just going by the number that pop up when you hit an enemy.

I find that my autoshot DPS does more dmg that my aimed shot would - faster dps, dmg isn't too far off from the damage my Aimed Shot provides, and it crits way more often.

Is this normal? When I cast Aimed Shot, that golden number that pops up - is that all the damage it did? It only crits 1-2% of the time I cast it, and the rest of the time it feels like a waste of mana and time when I could just auto shot my enemies?

What am I doing/reading wrong?

Cheers,

Commento di donkeyboner

Can someone please tell me how this ability works? I'm following the steps in regard of movement and range but the shot keep failing.
