Not mine, I've just found the link over the official forums. Personal feelings: I like the stand-still effect (you're hardly visible). "So so" while moving, but I still like the visual effect. I still fail at understanding the utility of it. Yes, it's a nice tool... but being a level 85 ability I would like something a bit more interesting, to be honest. I don't see much use in PvE, am I wrong?

Sweet! Wasn't expecting more than a regular stealth animation to be honest... especially considering rest of the level 85 abillities I've seen so far have (seemingly) placeholder animations right now.
Actually looks pretty intimidating - reminds me of the predator. :-)
I do agree that it doesn't seem to have a lot of PvE use (other than a second feign maybe? Assuming you can use initiate it mid-combat like mage-invis) but hunters aren't the only ones getting a situational/utility/PvP skill at 85. Shammies get Spiritwalker's Grace, Priests get Leap of Faith etc. This skill will be huge in PvP though, especially for MM with the new (old :-P) Aimed Shot and the fact that traps don't break the cammo so not sure what you mean with the utility comment.

I think it's pretty nifty. I hope to level a hunter before Cata, and I definitely am if they keep this the way it is.

So you're going to level a Hunter for a worthless ability that has absolutely zero PVE merit, ever since they removed the damage bonus from it.
...okay.

It's incredibly obvious that you aren't happy with your class, but there are still people who are. Please... You get a fun utility skill that looks great and you're acting like that? Would you be more happy if it was another damage shot?

not sure what you mean with the utility comment.
I don't see it being useful in any way for PvE. It was nice when it had some damage bonus but right now it looks like a (cool) Halloween costume, nothing else. You cannot use it in combat, aoe/damage/dots will break it, your attacks wil break it, ...
What's the real point of going Camo, then? For trapping purposes we got trap-launcher, so we can already set traps from a (very) far distance.
You get a fun utility skill that looks great
Is it really useful? I don't see any utility in PvE. I see some in PvP, only. I can be fun the first times you play with it but, as said above, why going Camo while fightinhg mobs, leveling, raiding, etc?

Well when you mentioned utility I assumed you meant for PvP purposes. It does indeed seem like a PvP-oriented skill but it's going to be a useful one for sure. Keep in mind that you can initiate fights with cammo and aimed shot.

Yes, but why should I camo before engaging? I can start the fight from 40 yards already, no real need to cloack myself. It would be interesting if I was able to camo in combat (with a longer cooldown of course). Right now it's just an opener. You open camouflaged and... what happens? You break the camo with your 1st shot.

Speaking of PvP. Aimed shot will have a long cast time which doesn't break camo so it will be nice for the surprise element. (just like how the Night Elf hunters used to utilize shadowmeld)

This will make World PvP so much mroe fun. Not to mention the BG fun. Its gonna be great.
One question about this... Camo says we can lay traps, right? Does Frozen Arrow and Trap Launcher count as 'Trap Setting'? If it does than there is going to be fun times in pvp =))

1) This is an awesome PvP ability
2) Predator's look = awesome
3) Aimed Shot (and CS and SS too I guess) not breaking it = awesome
4) What make me sad is AS is MM only :(

I'm pretty sure they said Freezing Arrow is being removed because it basically does the same thing as trap launcher. Trap Launcher *should* work from Cammo though but don't quote me on that.

They DO break it, you just stay "camoed" while you channel stuff. Better than nothing but still... pretty useless for pve :-(

@LoqueNahak: That's what I meant (and it was kinda obvious). And who cares about PvE... PvP need their stuff too!

I think that Loque is one of those hardcore Raiders.
Garenzo, ty for that. Yeah, its gonna be awesome to open with trap launcher in the BGs. Time for Hunters to rise up again O.O
