Frostheim at Warcraft Hunters Union: In some great news, Ghostcrawler has hopped on the forums to let us know that they are going to be reverting the aspects change and taking them back off the global cooldown:
As I said above, we’re still not convinced the Aspect design is working as intended (which is to provide a decision for the hunter) and long term, we will likely continue to iterate on it.
In the short term, our plan is to revert the recent change and return Aspects to off the GCD. Yes, you might just macro them again, but that seems to be the lesser of two evils compared to having them on the GCD.
I can’t provide any information on when this will happen. Hopefully we can fix it before you start leveling from 85 to 90. No promises. I’m just sharing our intent.
Now, Ghostcrawler is not saying this is going to be permanent, but in the wake of overwhelming and vocal unhappiness from nearly all hunters, PvP and PvE alike, they are going to look for a different solution to making aspects work the way they want. . . . read full article
It’s funny though. They put aspects on the gcd to prevent hunters from macroing aspects into every shot, but at the same time, they make Misdirection not require or cost a global anymore. I’m using Glyph of Misdirection and have macroed MD into every shot now. Blizzard logic =[
