More 3.1 Notes from the PTR

More changes in the full 3.1 patch notes that have come out, but only two things I'm concerned with right now.

• Ammunition: All types of gun and bow ammunition now stack to 1000. All quivers and ammo pouches no longer provide haste. 15% ranged haste is now built in to Hunter Autoshot.
At first glance, this seems dandy. But if the haste only applies to one's autoshots, then the haste cost of pushing Steady Shot back to the global cooldown just went up.
• Explosive Shot: Base damage lowered by 10%. Attack power scaling reduced by 12.5%.
I can't say that I didn't see this coming. Blizzard seems to be placing more emphasis on survival's damage over time effects with the addition of Black Arrow, and utilizing Immolation Trap for Lock and Load procs.

If I'd wanted to play a damage over time class, I'd have rolled warlock.

We'll hold the outcry, until we see if these changes go live.
