Best Snipe Sets, Traits Now? Been Gone

Been gone for a while. I know Snipe builds often get alot of s---- as being cheap but I enjoy being effective in keep defense and picking people off (especially somone doing a teabag.) I am also not one to run I like to go WW with my other bar and suprise people in melee (which was very effective)
Curious what sets Snipe users are using? Looking for best direct damage out put, Last time I played Spriggs was the best set for this, Is it still the best? or wa sit nerf'd with the penetration trait nerf.... What other sets do people run? Hundings? Not looking for any proc sets.

What Weapon trait would be best for Snipe? Penetration and crit on the same level now? is something else better?

Thanks for the help

    You on PC? If so, I suggest don't build too much around snipe.

    If you want something easy yet very effective stay around spriggan, hunding or marksmen.

    But as technohic said, stay away of trying anything snipe related on PC. Players will know you are shooting at them before you even finish the cast.

    Cheap not cheating. I use it myself and admit it's a huge crutch but nothing against the rules

    If it's proven to be a huge benefit. Yes.

    that's funny, the OP was concerned about gank/snipe builds being considered "cheap"...oh have things changed my friend...

    I don't put it on the players...people will do what needs to be done most time in order to compete...

    that miat add-on is zos' responsibility...
