then i m wrong or not ? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bPbTSExNmKQ
running shooting + special cannon kneeling ( you can see 2 plages damage, 1 from running shoot and special cannon kneeling)
High Dex = Gladiator Band / High Str = Sissel
Sissel is more future proof

what’s about A2>ranger1>Sc1>ro1>fal1>Musk ?
If Bazooka and Running shot works like shown in addprogamer’s video and the including the buffs they gave to it i might consider my own Q3 to go Q3 A2 something(probably scout or falcon) C2.
nope, not that Musketeer build
10 covering fire, savage damage
1 headshot, it’s usually used as a “disable skill” because if it hits, the target spins around a bit, enough to land Snipe.
10 Snipe, YESSSS. Get a linker and watch the damage flies!!
1 Butt Stroke for attribute
1 Penetration Shot: It has long casting animation & CD, albeit new attribute will fix the animation. But you won’t be using it that often, it’s a “push away” skill, only used to buy time for you to get out of Kneeling. Dmg is so-so since it’s hard to land all hit, and even if it does, others can do better.
Bayonet thrust: Up to you, do you have any skill that benefit from Bleeding status? Vendetta is an example. Butt Stroke: Conversion Attack attribute only double BS’s dmg, which is not a lot, and I heard rank 8 attribute cost 1.6mil silver.
As for Volley Fire and Birdfall, I don’t know how it will scale. Depends on previous build most likely. For instance I’m making a Hunter-Musketeer so I’ll be getting Volley Fire since Birdfall can render Snatching unusable and vice-versa.
QS3 is totally fine, and I’d even go further and say it might be the best of the “lower rank” classes for archers. I’m a QS3, loving it so far, and outdpsing everyone at my level (161).
You might be a frustrated ranger or something, oddie :).
My build is quite similar to yours, with the exception that I plan on going Falconeer instead of Archer2, it’s still a big decision to make, and I have to research more on the advantages of each.
So far I’m at rank 5, level 161, last rank was Scout, and I LOVE it, Scout is such a great class with a lot of utilities, just like QS3. You won’t lack utilities for sure.
Anyone knows where the lv270 +3 running shot Xbow drops? Forgot it’s name…
Marvel? Grand Cross - no info yet on where to get it.
taken from this thread = PSA: Quarrel Shooters & Running Shot gem holders
He/she also spoke about the possible new “Cafrisun-like” set (adds a damage line).
QS3 gets outscaled by most classes, this is what I meant. The reason I dislike quarrel shooters is not of any kind of personal feeling, it is just bad end-game and will become deprecated when rank 8 arrives.
I’m not a ranger, btw, I’ve always been a Schwarzer Reiter.
I have some news to you: You can be a ranger AND SR, WOW, right?
Outscaled? don’t be a moron, QS3 isn’t just about Running shot, and even if it was, the skill gets as bad as any other rank 2/3/4 skill would get late game when higher rank classes get release. But I have more news to you: There ain’t no QS3, but QS3 WITH Musk, SR, Cannoneer, ETC. Which means you won’t get outscaled even if you try hard.
Now leave. 
Why are you so angry? LOL
I know QS3 isn’t all about Running Shot, but it’s the main reason people make it all the way to the third circle. Excluding RS there are a lot better classes for utility than spending 3 ranks for some plank shields and a few caltrops. Also, you should update yourself about QS3 SR and how the crappy weapon swap cancels most Musketeer/Cannoneer skills.
It’s not about “plank shields and few caltrops” too.
Also, I outdps every other choise for rank 2,3 and 4
Anyway, I’m not discussing anything with a moron like you, just get lost mate.
See you, take care.
It’s the second time you call me a moron, gonna report you for being needlessly offensive. And keep in mind that anecdotal evidence is not a valid argument next time you engage in a discussion.
280% multiplicative scaling (400% with the right setup) is going to be “outscaled”? You have no idea what you are talking about. Pro tip, check out the stats on fully transcended weapons. Now multiply that by 5.
QS3 has a very solid future in the game. IMC has indicated such with cafrisun 2.0 & the beautiful marvel grand cross.
The ignorance is real.

lvl 7 Running Shot is basically a 200% skill (like Twin Arrows) with built-in 90% attributes (380%, 100% base + 280% lvl 7 RS), where instead of having base skill damage, it gets 30% attack speed increase instead.
At lvl 8, it goes to 420% scaling, and at lvl 9, 460% (new grand cross from rank 8 update + running shot gem).
VS flying enemies, with a bow, you are looking at a 600% scaling auto-attack, 680% with a running shot gem. Outside of Fletchers, there’s not much else that can compete with this level of scaling.
If you account the attack speed into the scaling as well, you are looking at:
lvl 7 RS: 494%
lvl 8 RS: 546%
lvl 9 RS: 598%
lvl 5 RS + Bow vs flying: 780%
lvl 6 RS + Bow vs flying: 884%
Remember that unlike other skills, Running Shot does scale with attack speed (quicken, kneeling shot). The only problem is trying to get good ping in a situation where you have huge amounts of frame drops/ping increase.
im also leaning on this build. currently on sc1 now…xD
that mergen range attribute synergy with kneel shot so well.
“death from afar” build
Running shot relies heavily on you securing a didel gc which I have seen people crying over megaphones that they have still not gotten one after half a year of saluss runs with re-openings. It seems you need didel to build the new marvel gc as well.
This is probably the main concern for me if I were going for a QS3 auto attack build.
