The Stampede changes definitely make it a much nicer cooldown. 8D

Edit: Because I have never been Surv for very long - does that mean wyvern sting is just another form of CC now, with the sleep effect only?

Not liking the new cooldown on Readiness, being a Marksman hunter 100% of the time now (only using BM for RP so i can bring out my spirit beasts)... but i dont think it will hurt too bad.. hopefully. I use Readiness everytime its up in a boss fight (which can sometimes be twice or even three times in one fight) after i use my Rapid Fire so i can make full use of my haste boosts to burn things down but meh, i'll live.

Also, I just realized, Readiness now has a 5m cooldown itself. Now it really is like Prep. I'm glad Blizz is still working on it, as per the other thread.

Me likey Stampede change. And I haven't been Survival very much, but holy crap they finally removed the DoT from Wyvern Sting! *w* I'll still keep Silencing Shot because it's one of my favorite things about a non-BM spec on live, but yay for more competitive choices!
