(Only Supported Skills deal 40% less Damage applies.)
Minions summoned by skills supported by Snipe cannot benefit from stage modifiers, but are affected by the 40% less damage modifier.[1]
Mana manipulation
By reserving a large portion of mana and having insufficient mana regeneration to channel past the first stage, it is possible to make Snipe repeatedly fire after the first stage, providing a massive bonus to attack speed.[2]
The first stage of Snipe has a hidden interaction that causes it to take half the time to channel compared to subsequent stages, providing an effective 360% modifier of base attack speed if channelling stops at the first stage.[3]
Snipe has a cooldown of 0.05 seconds, rounded up to the nearest server tick, providing a cooldown of 0.066 seconds. This results in a default maximum of 15.15 triggers per second.
At the next cooldown threshold breakpoint (52% increased cooldown recovery rate), the maximum trigger rate is 30.3 per second.
