Steady shot

I was aksking about that in guild chat last night and no one seemed to know anythign about it.

I noticed that Plumb mentioned it in his post on PvP tactics.

Can you shed some light on this? Is it s talent (I have been unabel to findit in any tree)? Is it a spell (I have been unable to find it on a trainer)?

What is it? Thottbott has it as a level 63 Hunter skill. Did it get changed to something else and folk just refer to it as steady shot? I am really confused here . . .

Think od steady shot as aimed Shot lite

It's a training thing

To my understanding it does similar damage to a regular shot but using it does not mess up the regular shot timer. Means have you ever noticed that it looks like you shoot twice when doing certain shots? its a way to deal more damage faster... does that make sense?

I found this. Man am I getting brain dead with old age . . .

I misread the Thotbott entry (or quickly glanced and saw the one above or below it) and was looking for this as a survival skill when it is actually a Marksman skill.

It was sitting there and apparently I had not noticed that I had gotten a new level 1 skill when I picked this up at 62 so had not added it to my key setup (which is FAR too cluttered with my hunters). Will have to check it out now. It looks like it just does a bunch of extra damage and even more if the target is 'dazed'. I will have to test that last part out and see just what they mean by dazed. Like if stunned = dazed or not.

As to aimed shot. Originally I got that on all my Hunters since every hunter alive sings the merits of aimed shot. Then was VERY disappointed with it. It takes sooo long that I can get 3 normal shots off in the same time and do far more damage and get two extra chances to mess up spell casters. So when they redid the Hunters and gave us all a free respec I did not take aimed shot with any of them and do not miss it at all.

It seems that many use this as their 'pulling' shot when I am pulling and not just supporting my pet as he dashes into combat, I prefer the DoT sting shot or the high damage sting (forget the name but it is a one time shot and not a DoT so necessary for when I plan to freeze trap my target and take omn his friend first).

Aimed shot is uber in pvp because it cuts healing received in half, just like mortal strike....I hate it so much
