Here's where it stands as of tonight, folks.
What is it?
There is a bug in 1.5 that adds ranged weapon speed to the cooldown of Multi-Shot, Arcane Shot and Aimed Shot.
This is a bug that will, unfortunately, go live with the 1.5 patch as it stands. It is currently slated to be fixed in 1.6.
Why can't it be fixed before it hits live realms?
I completely sympathize with you on this subject and understand that you
never want this bug to see the light of day. I agree with you. However, this patch has already been delayed quite a bit and we cannot delay it any further; there are several other bug fixes that need to go live as soon as possible, and there are international concerns as well.
If we delayed patches every time a bug was found, they would never be released.
Can't it be fixed before 1.6?
1.6 is probably not three months away like some of you seem to believe, but it is still a ways off. There is a possibility, however, that this might be fixed before that.
I have taken your feedback on the issue to the development staff tonight, pleading your case. I've explained that this is a
PvP feature patch and this bug can potentially be devastating to Hunters in a
PvP fight. I am, basically, pleading your case before the court. I will do everything in my power to see
if I can get this fixed in either a hotfix, or failing that, an emergency patch like 1.5.1. I can make no promises, but I am using everything in my arsenal for you.

I know you're very incensed about this, but I ask that you keep the flames down. I'm doing all I can to get this fixed as soon as feasibly possible.
