Was just curious if you could have a macro set that both allowed you the Snapshot Proc and the Recycle Proc.
I currently macro my ranged attacks to start with snapshot, then gear swap to ranged attack gear.
Is it possible to equip Navarch +2 legs (for snapshot), and gear swap to Entois Trousers and get both traits in one shot?

you start with snapshot, and end with your damage, store tp, and recycle gear. if you wanted to add in rapid shot, it would go in with the snapshot gear. however most ppl dont do this, since if rapid shot procs, you will shoot before you switch over to the full tp gear, and you will lose your store tp and recycle bonuses

And no you won't if you don't lag, at least not with a gun.

Perhaps if you are using spellcast but op sounds like s/he is doing the process manually via macros.

Kinda, Using macros with windower, so starts with
snapshot.txt
wait 1
rangedatt.txt
Atleast it looks something like that Just not sure, as a Corsair, if it's worthwhile to bother with or not. Got a pair of Entois Trousers, and trying to decide if I should toss or not, also what I'd hafta give up trait wise to use them.

Rapid shot is unreliable to gear for. Preshot in snapshot and land in stp/racc/ratk whatever for better consistency.

Thanks, though not quite the question, maybe I should express it better.
Which happens first when initiating a ranged attack -
Snapshot, Rapid Shot, or Recycle
Or, do they all happen (or not happen) in the activation of ranged attack, and therefore can't start with Snapshot, and end with Recycling proccing from two different pieces of gear.

Rapid shot procs during aim, however the amount of delay it cuts is random, so it may or may not make you fire in snapshot depending how much it decides to give you.
Recycle I think procs during shot phase.

Snapshot and rapid shot both proc at the start of a shot. Recycle procs as the shot fires.
