One shot. One kill.[1]

Aimed Shot is an instant shot available to Marksmanship hunters that deals ranged damage plus X and reduces healing done to that target by 50% for 10 seconds. It shares a cooldown with Multi-Shot and the two deal the same damage (per target) before talents are taken into consideration. When fully talented, Aimed Shot will deal more damage against a single target and cost significantly less mana. Against a single target, it is the second highest damage shot available to Marksmanship hunters, after Chimera Shot.

Notes[]

  • The healing reduction does not stack with other healing reduction effects like Mortal Strike.

Tips and tactics[]

  • When fighting against more than one target, Multi-Shot should be used instead of Aimed Shot as the two share a cooldown and Multi-Shot can hit more than one target.

Past changes[]

  • WoW Icon 16x16 Hotfix (2011-02-22): ""Aimed Shot damage has been decreased to approximately 160% weapon damage (at level 80+), down from 200%.""
  • Template:Patch 3.0.2
  • Template:Patch 2.3.0
  • Template:Patch 2.0.6
  • Patch 1.10.0 (patch date:2006-03-28): This ability now has its attack power normalized the same as melee instant attacks. This means that the attack power contribution from all ranged weapons will be the same, no matter what their speed. All weapons will contribute attack power as if they were 2.8 speed. Weapons slower than 2.8 speed will do slightly less damage than previously; weapons faster than 2.8 speed will do slightly more damage. 
  • Patch 1.7.0 (patch date:2005-09-22):
    • Fixed tooltip to correctly display shot time.
    • Fixed bug where Aimed Shot wouldn't cancel properly when the target moves out of range. 
  • Patch 1.5.0 (patch date:2005-06-07): Special ability shots no longer add the ranged weapon speed or take into account ranged weapon haste when determining the actual cooldown. The tooltip and cooldown timers should now properly reflect the actual cooldown.
