I had SR with my QS3, I’m taking that path.
Anyway, let us know which path you are going to end up and why 
Probably A2>QS3>Falcon>Musk. I was thinking of going A1>QS3>Sapper 2>Musk but I had to rethink about end game viability.
In the end, it took me a few days to raise a QS 3 to realize that QS3 is just too mobile to sit near Sapper’s traps. Plus traps either have long cast time or long cool down. It reminds me of Ele 2 days, once I casted all aoe skills, I asked myself “Now what”. Probably more reasons but ultimately I scrapped the idea of going Sapper 2.
Why not Sr2? Oh well. First of all, the mounts look either hideous or unappealing in my eyes, yes all of them. Secondly, Musk uniform + Rifle + Sniping = love at first sight.
Why not Wugushi? If not for the Gu Pot overlapping, I would choose Wugu over Sapper and Falconer. Because Wugu is fairly common, I saw them quite a lot. Dunno why. So I would like to avoid Wugu like plague.
Why Falconer? RO nostalgia mainly. Plus Lv10 Multi Shot is great, Circling is still great after the nerf. I believe 2 Palvises are more than enough to ensure my survivability and my Falcon too
For the last time, there is no circling nerf in kTOS. It still reduces AoE ratio to 0. It was snipe that got nerfed. Stop spreading misinformation

Anyway, if you happen to find a source of what you stated, please throw it here
I hear you, nothing beats that. haha GL HF
Hello Mamark 
can i have your opinion if i have a1 qs3 and fletcher3…? To have the mobility when using running shot, and at the same time maintain the bossing potential using magic arrow…? But of course it may not be out damage other a2 or r3 with their buff, but would this combination works in terms of their stats distribution and scaling…?
Im thinking of 4 str to 1 dex, while adding some con as and when. Not a advanced player with all the high end gears 
Why not go Cannon C7 if you want AoE with Falconer?
ya i was referring to snipe not affected by circling, falcon circling is just as strong for everything else. lol, i had been corrected in other thread because i had heard the wrong thing too.
@jaydenshih qs3 and fletcher3 dont sync. most fletcher skills give most people delays similar to weapon swap lag, paired with the animation cast times this doesnt use up your time well (especially when you need to be using running shot autos) and would happen every 5 seconds. in theory it would outdamage any other 1target path chosen atm. not recommended.
@dsmakowski she wanted musket in particular. anyways in presence of linker, musketeer is better, otherwise cannon is if you need any type of aoe.
Anyone who says this about qs3 fletcher3 clearly has not tried the build. I get enough auto attacks in between skill spamming for it to add significant damage. But of course you need low ping for this to work

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 – 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 that’s worth the damage output. this build’s major fault though is terrible aoe.
The running shot isn’t mean to be your main damage dealer, it’s filler damage in between skill spamming, so losing out on that 20% damage or whatever it is isn’t 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. That’s 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 don’t 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 ‘RUNNIGN SHOT’ with and without critical damage provide with gem and gear? Thank you very much.

Hey guys can u comment about my build…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)?
- what’s 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 CD’s. stone shot spam is decent too if theres no laima for nigh perma ruunning shot.
swap is just a 2h bow.
wow… how are you able to hit so hard with full DEX? I’m 210 with 1:1 str dex build but am only doing ~2k non crit and ~4k crit hit with RS… currently using +8 GC with mana and sissels
