Hi, just noting something that needs an addendum likely. The mastery section of the stat priority page still notes its old interaction with Deep Wounds. Mastery is now a stat that impacts our damage output with 2H weapons, nothing to do with Deep Wounds anymore.

Why is in the rotation section the main ability Disintegrate not mentioned? Is this always top prio disregarding any procs or cds?

Starting to edge closer to a full year since I commented about the inaccuracy in the listed weaknesses and it still hasn't been corrected? Come on, it's not that hard to edit and remove.

Marksman hunters don’t use intimidation so I have no idea why you would put it in tools to trap people with in PvP. 

Hey! Apologies for the very late reply, somehow I didn't get a notification for your message here :(( As for your questions: Shiv is no longer a DPS cooldown. We generally pick up some talents that are either very minor DPS upgrades and don't bear mentioning whatsoever, or in the case of Toxic Stiletto, we simply need to pick up additional points before unlocking the next tier of the talent tree, and this one has some super niche uses when you want to dispel an enrage, vs something like Shadowrunner which has no benefit at all in a raid environment, but of course its super useful in open-world content.  There is an edge-case scenario when playing Deathstalker, where you can use Shiv at 6 CP to go to 7, to then use your Darkest Night-buffed Envenom, since we still want that to be cast with maximum Combo Points, and using Mutilate would overcap for a high Energy cost, while Shiv (with Toxic Stiletto) is a very cheap option that generates 1 CP as well. It is not something you really have to worry about though, as its an optimization that offers less than half a percent of DPS gains.
