sure, meaning you lucked out on not being a victim of fletcher lag? majority of people get the long delay after most fletcher skills, which means every 5 seconds magic arrow will kill about 2-2.5 seconds of your time ā effectively cutting your time spenting autoing in half. even those without delay, you lose out on at least 20% of your running shot duration due to the cast animation time of magic arrow but thatās worth the damage output. this buildās major fault though is terrible aoe.
The running shot isnāt mean to be your main damage dealer, itās filler damage in between skill spamming, so losing out on that 20% damage or whatever it is isnāt a big deal. Also, anyone who picks fletcher3 for AoE is doing it wrong

this is a qs3 thread though, and the build uses running shot. 50% of running shot value lost is a major hit though which is what i said. also in qs3 builds, the idea is to grab aoe in other ranks to make it a more rounded build.
on the fletcher side anyways, qs3 is a bad pick because simply going ranger3 with group buffs for cooldowns or ranger/archer2 both for the damage increasing buffs, should beat qs3 in damage as fletcher3 and both those paths have enough skills to fill non-MA time with almost enough damage to compare to qs3 and the buffs from swift step crit and steady aim will put MA over the top simply outdoing running shot + MA rotation.
how bad/good is a qs 3 > falc > cannoneer? in the usual party compositions, would it be viable for et? or would sr still be better overall?
Really? Thank God, my memory must be damn broken. Thatās what I remembered
F3 is already strong class, so R1-R4 will serves as fillers during down time of Magic Arrow (main DPS, well during boss fight and good positioning during grinds)
QS3>F3 is also a growing meta for rexipher
and @Hakaze has one so better message him if you need more details 
stat wise, well just go pure STR since ratio is too high 4:1, and I donāt think you will be needing AoE attack ratio.
EDITED: lol, I see that you guys are already talking. haha late rep, left my browser open in this thread . 
May i know any player can provide info for āRUNNIGN SHOTā with and without critical damage provide with gem and gear? Thank you very much.

Hey guys can u comment about my buildā¦I only take archer C2 Ffor crit and take rogue c1 for more crit chance.My aim is to make pure str char with high crit chance with only gem n equipment. And gve me ur recommendation for rank7 n reason y u think its good.Thanks guys 
some questions
- have you been in situations in PvE where you had a use for stone shot?
- do you still use rapid shot at later levels (around rank 6 onwards)?
- whatās on your weapon swap slot? xbow + dagger & xbow + shield or xbow + dagger and 2H bow?
Full dex, +10gc, 219, 1 glad band. nothing else of note.
My crit is almost 6k per shot w/ running shot and kneeling. Non crit is about less than 3k? The difference in damage from crit vs non crit is huge though.
@tonyostark
I use stone shot quite a bit cuz its lvl 15 and has a 10 sec stun.
I have rapid fire lvl 1 just for the crit ress debuff when Im waiting for CDās. stone shot spam is decent too if theres no laima for nigh perma ruunning shot.
swap is just a 2h bow.
wowā¦ how are you able to hit so hard with full DEX? Iām 210 with 1:1 str dex build but am only doing ~2k non crit and ~4k crit hit with RSā¦ currently using +8 GC with mana and sissels
Are you kneeling? Cuz kneeling is important so is every bit of patk you can get.
hmm even with kneeling the highest Iāve seen was 5kā¦ but it rarely happens 
oh myā¦ T_T
OH it muts be my headgears and higher + on GC. I also have my arde slotted with patk gem o.o
If you get 180 critical attack from all hair accessories and 2 gladiator
band (32 str + 32 critical attack + 188 critical attack) + weapon +10
at least and 3 yellow gems level 6 ( 108 critical attack) you have more
than decent damage.
With buffs from party and your dexterity, you can get 650+ damage bonus from kneeling shot.
If I go A2>QS3>SR2, which is the best stats build?
Iām still using early game equip as QS3/SR1 (level 213)ā¦ still using Crystal Bangle / Bearkaras, +10GC and Arde). Went with 3:2:1 STR:DEX:CON. Not sure if this is the best per se but it still feels good. Crits are around 3k-3.7k. Im sure the ābestā really matters on what equip/gems you have that allows you to get enough crit rate.
Iām not sure on how this build compares with the kTOS Ranger3 build copied over here to iTOS because of the skill differences. I think weāll have to see what changes are made to the skills after the repository merge. Is it confirmed that weāre getting the same thing with auto attacks canceling retreat shot? Even if it happens, the class is still good staggering retreat shot and running shot and I donāt even have retreat 10 yet. Was able to start soloing 200 dungeons at 200 easily with poor manās equipment whenever Iām unable to find a rush group. Still no mana mana though.
Edit: fixed some auto corrects
has anybody tried going qs 3 > falc > cannoneer? how bad/good is it?
edit: changed stupid question.
so auto attack is good after the patch?
