Wall of text incoming regarding Dan 3 Magnum Shot! :>
Just finished Dan 3 Magnum Shot on a human character. Getting a SS Rank seemed impossible at first, but it isn't. Like others have said, it's pretty luck-based in that you have to pray for crits and lots of hits at ~40%.
Anyways, you need at least r1 Urgent Shot and r1 Crash Shot. Doing a few Dan tests with Crash Shot may help.
Some people say to use crossbow, some say bow, I say use both. The perks of a bow are the increased range, and thus, increased aim speed. Use that when the targets are relatively close.
The perks of a crossbow are running with mag loaded. This helps close the distance with monsters so you can aim for less time. I would only switch between weapons during the cooldown of magnum.
On the first wave, try to prioritize the tiny gremlins. Those buggers aggro fast and usually die to one magnum. Also try to prioritize anything near you for this first wave, because these guys are aggressive. Only use magnum and urgent shot for this wave.
For the second wave, try to open with a crash shot on a wisp that is floating in a cluster of monsters. That should reduce their HP to lessen the magnums needed to take them down. Afterwards prioritize the flying swords, their health is lower and should prevent double aggro.
On the third wave, again, open with a crash shot. All these fish are rather tanky so just choose one in the center of a cluster. This time, keep trying to use crash shot on monsters in the middle of clusters, then kill them with magnum. The crash shot frags bring the sahagins to alert status but not aggro status. Magnum as necessary.
If you've done well so far you should have a solid minute left. Try to end the sahagin wave with your character away from the center of the arena. Congrats, you've made it to the rats! Magnum frenzy and hope you get 12k points.
I didnt have to pick up any potions during the test. The second time I passed, I just sat there for 15 seconds because I was out of stamina but over 12k points, so I guess consider picking up stam pots, haha
