Snapshot

Here's Rage Vortex updating to use new weapon stats: youtube.com/watch?v=BtVRQJ8DiDo . Static Strike does not snapshot either: exertion is a mechanic that applies to the use of a skill, similar to Ruthless Blows from Ruthless Support. This is unrelated to stat snapshotting. If anything should be listed here, it's the warcries, not every duration attack.)

Snapshot is a term used to describe being able to obtain the benefits of one set of items, passive skills or skill gems by casting a skill that takes a snapshot of their character with all those benefits active, then swapping to another configuration so that they gain both sets of benefits.[1]

Mechanics

When something is snapshotted, it will not change it's effects later by modifiers. Modifiers like increased damage and increased buff effect, will have no effect after the snapshot. Things that do not snapshot are dynamic, meaning they can change their effect over time by modifiers. Most skills that snapshot damage, will snapshot that damage the moment it hits an enemy.

Example of snapshot

Snapshot Permanent Benefit

Some snapshots can give your character or minions permanent effects from items or gems after you take them off. Permanent snapshotting is not against the rules of the game, but the developers have removed most of it to balance the game.[1]
