X Armor reduces physical damage. Pretty sure the nature damage is barely reduced if not at all.
And 99% of encounters have predictable movement so mobility is still not an issue with Snipe.
you don't raid do you . talents are very easily changeable now . I change at least 1 for every boss ( as well as change specs completely depending on fight) . Some fights are VERY pet unfriendly , this new talent is wonderful for those .
Again -talents are options to be changed depending on circumstance --they are no longer MUST HAVE ONE SIZE FITS ALL things
- - - Updated - - -
You are choosing the combination of talents that best suits the fight - they arnt set and forget anymore , why have a lot of people not got that idea yet , mmm maybe because most players don't raid ??? and have seen the true benefits of the current system -I don't know , anyone got an answer ?

Yeah, I'm just assuming every talent is going to change massively or be replaced at this stage. Remember the original talent list for MoP? Looked nothing like what release ended up having.
I agree and am not holding any thought that this will be the final 100 talents.... however, there is something interesting about the new talents (for all classes):
It looks like their goal is to avoid button bloat and give passives or talents that replace other talents...
Bola is nothing more than pre wrath beta Explosive Shot so nothing new just a rename. They just switching it with Arcane cos its the universal skill for all 3 specs.
Snipe for ease rotation (1 shot instead of 2 cs/ss needed with a +dmg incentive for the non movement requirement)
Overall nothing so much exciting, still hope for more disparities between specs with different resource mechanics.
All non-physical damage completely bypasses armor, so yes, it's not reduced. Given that mobs generally have ~30% armor, that means Snipe only does about 105% of your weapon damage as actual damage to the target, compared to Cobra's 77%.
For a better comparison, Cobra does 38.5% of your weapon damage per second, while snipe does about 37.9%.

I personally feel like if they do the whole "replace a spell" thing, they should make it a tier of talents. For example if they want bola shot to replace arcane shot, they should place Bola shot (active), something replace (active) and TOTH (passive) together. And then again for WOWY place that with a pet tier like blink strikes. I really feel like consolidating each tier to a type like "movement, "defense", "pet", "focus generation", "arcane shot", etc will allow for much better balance in the long run.
I am 100% pumped for these talents.
New weapon sounds, and possibly a quiver(?) as the Q&A pannel said "Someone ask about hunter quivers already!" So i assume they're coming back as a cosmetic thing or minor glyph?
This is the first expansion i have been 100% excited for, and i've been playing since beta.. it's just everything i have ever wanted in WoW and the new zones look amazing, the new World pvp zone looks like tons of fun and the interesting loot system they're doing looks amazing at least on paper so far!
Woot! Now only 8 more months of MoP and H Garrosh.. wooo...
So, we aren't allowed to criticize the decisions that Blizzard makes? I appreciate the hard work Blizzard does, but I also recognize that the changes they make aren't always the best and when I see something I dislike, then I'm going to voice my opinion. That's why there are forums.
Stunshot, 40yd range, 60s CD, instantly stuns your target for 3s.
5% self-heal every 3s instead.
Improved Multi-Shot, Passive, your Multi-shot hits cause your targets to bleed for X%AP damage over 15s.
Blind Focus, Passive, X% increased damage from your autoattacks, and increases movement speed by 10%.
This should most definitely be a talent because if it stays I'm insta-90ing myself a hunter just so I can get the petless spec.
