I am trying to make things clear by asking in detailed so why are u guys being pissed lol. Do u know just based on words alone can’t prove much. What I am looking for is concrete evidence, else it may affect my next circle choice here. Thanks for your opinions tho this would make QS dmg in Ktos to be much lower than here Itos then?
U guys need to chill out im not looking for a hot debate/arguement here lol. 
use math then.
his running shot crits for about 4-5k on a pwandel.
His non buffed AA is about 1,150 on on pwandel. We have no clue how many crit attack he got, but atleast 50%. So a basic AA crit would deal ATLEAST around 1725 damage.
So basic AA crit (with just flat 50% crit modifier) = 575 damage now add the running shot bonus damage buff (280%, no one uses not atleast a didel) and you get another bonus of 3,220 dmg (based on his standard AA of 1150) added on top and b00m with some magic you average around 3795 “crit” damage. Add in all the crit attack he gains from STR and pretty much have the numbers.
If running shot bonus damage would be calculated into the crits he would atleast crit for about 5-6k.
Ofc the math isnt 100% correct since we have no idea about his gear but, in the end the result would be same, he would simply crit a lot higher with RS bonus went into his crit formular.
Here are my numbers when not kneeling while measuring their before and after hp in itos :
2693 when I crit with running shot on.
1229 when I don’t crit with running shot on.
PATK is 531-541
Crit atk is 233
Enemy was green kepari shaman with 203 def
If we are talking about ktos style running shot, then the amount of damage will be 1400ish regardless of whether i crit or not. *And IIRC it applies to each damage line.
In ITOS, running shot bonus is based on the damage you do on that hit so critting that initial hit means running shot will multiply off that bigger hit.
Edit: It seems like it works the same way with itos according to video.
Edit 2: When I kneel, the damage goes up to 5k-5.5k.
My friend is playing an Arch3>Scout3 high dex build, and so far he didn’t have any complains.
Full DEX… my biggest peeve when tanking… for some reason Full DEX people think they can dodge the world and suddenly flop on the ground while they get mad at the tank…
Never go full DEX, or if you want pump some CON for God’s sake.
I closed my ears when people told me not to go Full INT. My Wiz3<Ele3<Wl is currently doing great with Full INT. I had a Full DEX A3<Scout and it was great with Full DEX, it dodged some of the enemies’ attacks even if I was lv. 160, meanwhile my friends who were 2:1 STR/DEX kept dying because they rarely dodge the enemies’ hits. I didn’t take Swift Step at all, and haven’t upgraded the leather attribute, at all. Would like to try both of them combined with Full DEX.
I’ve decided to A3-QS3-Musket/Cannon, most probably Musket though. I’m just wondering whether Running Shot’s additional damage is based of before using Kneeling Shot or after.
Come to think of it again, what if the ktos version of running shot is the old version(pre-Buffed) while itos is the newer(Buffed). Since you mentioned they were like that to begin with in Ktos. Just like how Skyliner has no cd to begin with in Ktos but nerfed/balanced here in Itos.
Welp Itos did made their own changes like steady aim/skyliner and else why did they increased the dmg formula for RS in Itos compared to the old Ktos ver? positive thinking 
there 's no buff and nerf
it’s actually an bug, the description still not change since ToS CBT both in KR and Inter and it writes “deal additional damage” not “increased damage”
Try to dodge magic attacks.
With the attack speed I could cancel the caster’s spell, monsters’ easily, besides, my aim isn’t PvP.
You don’t see the whole picture.
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 levle 6 ( 108 critical attack) you have more
than decent damage.
If you go the classic route a3q3 whatever and can use running shot + kneeling shot + 550+ damage from monstrance and
zalciai from a cleric/krivis/druid.
From a spreadsheet from Reddit the difference would be around 10% damage BUT if strenght gives block penetration it shits on the a3qs3 builds.
Also it’s important for a linker to have the best of spirit, constitution, strenght and dexterity shared.
good luck finding a luck finding a linker 3:D
