Actually, with the 15% buff to AS, and the 15% nerf to ES, then AS does more dmg total per focus than ES does. Which is to say, 2 AS will do more dmg than 1 ES with the respective buffs and nerfs. While ES will do more dmg on a 1:1 basis, when you give AS half the focus cost, it becomes more efficient. The only time you'll end up using ES is when LnL procs because it will do more dmg on that 1:1 basis. Otherwise, AS will be more efficient. Hooray?
False. Arcane Shot from what I recall has always had the best DPF value, but you must keep in mind you eat way more globals to Arcane Shot spam.
Explosive Shot will still be desirable to use I think.

They won't, even by their retarded standards, ruin the signature shot of a tree so badly that you'll use arcane shot over it.
MM In 4.0.1.

Hmm. Wasn't it really close though?

Not entirely. Aimed Shot, if used when not instant cast, is a definate way to cut your dps down further and further. Moreso, the 3 second cast time cuts down mobility and utility to a point where, even if it where on par with the damage of Arcane Shot, you'd probably be gimping yourself just by using the Shot.
Aimed Shot is near useless right now. I wouldn't so quickly say that they wouldn't be willing to do the same to Explosive Shot.
We mean Chimera vs Arcane.
Or at least I think so.
Because even now Aimed just...blows.

Well, Aimed Shot can be considered the equivalent of Explosive Shot for Marksmanship, because they are each acquired simply by speccing into the tree, which would make it the signature move of Marksmanship. I thought we where talking about signature moves here, but if we're all talking about different abilities, I can see how we're having some confusion. =P
Well Chimera, Kill Command, and Explosive Shot are what I believe fall into this category.
Aimed Shot is just....a procced shot atm....

I agree, but specialization signatures are considered the abilities that are instantly acquired upon choosing a spec, aren't they?
As in Intimidation, Aimed Shot, and Explosive Shot.
Suppose you could look at it either way.
Yes...that's where the other issue comes in.
Intimidation isn't exactly the BM signature dps ability.

I believe you started out comparing the spec specific abilities intimidation, aimed shot, and explo shot as a way of telling the person that said they wouldnt nerf explo to the ground that they very well might.
Edit: Also, while I love intimidate (I know most peeps think it's worthless but I find it nice for pvp and for interupting, taking heat off a tank for a sec, or saving healers from stray mobs in pve) I think a good balancing move fro BM would be for blizz to make intimidate a skill for all hunters and replace that with a shot or pet command ability that could be damage adjusted to even us out wherever they want us to be.

Well, to be honest, I find baseline Scatter Shot to be sufficient enough. We don't need more in the CC department, but rather some way to not have awful damage output in PvP.
Meaning, something involving Focus regen/deadzone.

Aimed shot would be sweet if taken as an opening shot. With an
DoT
and probably some kind of
leech life
effect.
It would be used A LOT more, and will make MM a very interesting spec.

Hell. I'd just throw a damage buff proc gimmick on it.
Or attach Colossus Smash to it.
