Hunters have recently been concerned that there is a bug going into the game in patch 1.5 that adds ranged weapon speed to the Aimed Shot, Arcane Shot, and Multi-Shot Hunter ability cool downs.

I received some clarification from the developers today, and...

This is false -- the cool down for Aimed Shot, Arcane Shot, and Multi-Shot is not increasing in patch 1.5 –- it will remain the same. The bug that adds weapon speed to the cool down of these abilities has been in the game since launch. The reason this bug remained hidden for so long is that the tool tip and client side cool down timer were not showing the increased cool down. An unrelated addition to 1.5 corrected the visible cool down timer on the client, and that's how this bug was discovered.

Please note: the current Hunter DPS will not decrease because of this bug! This bug has been active since day one, so Hunter DPS will remain the same. When this bug is fixed in an upcoming patch, Hunter DPS will actually increase.

Due to all of the feedback we have received, and thanks to Caydiem, we are going be working to resolve the hunter cooldown bug. Unfortunately, that means bad news for us here, as it leads to some extra overtime (I didn't have much planned anyways :P). Thanks for all of your patience in regards to this matter.
