Rygarius updated the Official 5.3 PTR Patch Notes today. In addition to the previously data-mined buffs to Aspect of the Hawk, Aspect of the Iron Hawk, Beast Cleave, and Bombardment, and the reworking of Blink Strike, the updated Official Notes also announce changes to Binding Shot and Indimidation: Binding Shot is now a level 30 Marksmanship ability, and Intimidation replaces it as the level 30 talent available to all hunters.
