Its a simple aur increase at one talent point, while blood DKs and enh shamans need to spend 2/3 talent points, and It won't be on the entire fight no matter what. However, in 3.3.3, they will simply be a passive aura like ours, and thus makes trueshot aura just a less desirable talent, especially if you will always be raiding with an enh shaman or blood dk. However, it's not good to rely on the fact your raid will have one, because PUGs aren't gauranteed to have those classes. It would be nice to see a little self buff like 5-10% more RAP, but they would have to nerf another aspect of our mm tree so it balances out enough. Right now, I feel trueshot is fine.

It does make the talent point kind of wasted while those are two abilities are up. The other option is to make those abilities have a lower chance of being up. For the DK, maybe drop the chances to 25% and 50%. For the Shaman, drop the chance to 25% or 75% chance on a critical. This would still mean the ability is up almost all the time but it would still make them less potent in non pve environments. You're probably on to something here and it would be a step towards bringing hunters on line with the other dps classes. Going the proc effect route would make its name inappropriate though since it is an aura. Aura's by name are generally ongoing effects. Garwulf,

I just LOVED the protection tree, the plate, the weapons... and I forgot my hunter under a pile of dust ;) @ Gar

Now granted it's not that hard of a thing to do, but is it really necessary? Maybe it could auto-activate once we have a ranged weapon equipped (which is 100% of the time), similar to how Kindred Spirits works, but with a gun/bow/x-bow instead of the pet. Just a thought. @ Serith & Dalaila Yea, let's hope they fix the pet issues once and for all. I'd sure like to be able to put all of my pet's DPS abilities in the castbar in favor of Growl and Cower. and Dalaila... so little faith. ;) @ Trackerbr Yes. More stable slots are needed. I agree. More pets = more happiness. @ Roarbeard I like what they're doing with Shaman in 3.2. How about a Hunter trap bar for the stock Blizz UI? @ Stephen

This would be the easiest and most sensible fix of all. Just give us a 15% TSA that we don't have to manually activate and be done with it. I'd be happy and I bet the DKs and Shaman would too. :) Hey Blaq. :D

Ultimately, Blizzard had to increase the Blessing bonuses to be higher than that of the more temporary buffs to prevent overwriting. I think it's more likely that they should do something similar here. Make the AP bonus higher to prevent being overwritten by the 10 sec proc buffs, that way people in range of Trueshot won't be affected, but maybe those out of range can still pick up the temporary bonus if their in range of it.

I really hope they do.

It's sad how many bugs blizz passes up... I know the pet thing has bothered me forever. Being new to marks I never really gave TSA that much thought, but I like where you’re going with this.
