At the moment I'm using.

XX/XX/XX/XX
AF3+2/XX/XX/XX
skopos/Gules mittens/XX/XX
libeccio/impulse/XX/XX

+2 snapshot on hands
+4 snapshot on body

I know mustela brais, alruna's gloves, and the legion feet will be an improvement.
Question though. How would AF2+2 body and head piece be macro'd in? Should I have it equiped aftershot oooorrrr?

af3+2 body is better than skopos. af2+2 is pretty useless to end shot with. you can end shot with af2+2 head for the tp if you want. should work on a snapshot augment on blood finger gauntlets; i know it goes up to +4 at least.

Blah Gen stated he had +5 on his bfg at one point, only managed +4 a total of 3 times I'm easily over 250 attempts now... find it hard to believe that the HQ caps the same as the NQ but also starting to believe +5 is a lie.

Still going white trash with my NQ cfgs (-1's in my mog locker, need to do more Seiryu). At what point will augmented CFGs, or BFGs, exceed Alruna's Gloves? I have a paltry +2 snapshot on them at the moment.

what's your post shot or executing shot build? I'm trying to understand how best to set these up.

That is to say post shot gear should consist of STP, Ratk and str.

Gear to achieve your X-hit and gear to hit hard.

Question, was the snapshot on Alruna's Gloves ever documented?

Also, do most people use a 1 or 2 second wait between RA and post-shot?

I've been rolling with a 2 second pause, but I'm also seeking confirmation ^^

No one has done real snapshot tests in quite a while. I started doing it and then realized how incredibly annoying it is with Rapid Shot traits.

What items are you testing?
If it's the gloves, I think you can use your THF if you don't want Rapid Shot trait messing around with the result.

Has it been confirmed that Blood gauntlets can be aug'd with up to +5 snapshot? I see its been on wiki but that info isnt always trust worthy. Id like to know before i use more tatters on that to upgrade from +4 rather than blood mask

Bump. I am also interested in knowing if +5 is a possibility before wasting tatters. Thanks! :)

Snapshot isn't "that" hard to test. Just shoot and move your character. Time when you get the message that your shot failed. I've found it much easier just to compare pieces than to figure out actual % though. Get out the old-school stopwatch.

+4 on BFG is the highest I've seen.

I'm invoking the age-old rule of "Pics Or It Didn't Happen" on +5. Never seen anything above +4

apologies for necro'ing, and also apologies for asking what are probably really obvious questions. I've never done this preshot/postshot thing because on the surface it sounds like a lot of work for minimal benefit, but I am often wrong about things...

*For pre-shot gear, is there anything I care about besides Snapshot and the AF3+2 body velocity shot bonus?
*And as Knala said, for post-shot gear it's just ratk, STR, and STP for the x-hit build?

So I can do this macro:
Code
/console exec "rng.preshot.txt"
/ra <t>
/wait 1
/console exec "rng.postshot.txt"


And my ranger will be happy?

I'm not super spellcast savvy but I have the following which works fine for my Snapshot set.

<if spell="ranged">
<equip when="precast" set="snapshot" />
<equip when="midcast" set="tp" />
<midcastdelay delay="1.0" />
</if>

So long as the scripts you are executing are correct I don't see any issues with what you have.
