lv 60, and i feel like the class is starting to get dull… almost 0 aoe, so its longer for me to kill trashmobs while questing…
my build is a2>qs3>falc/scout>musket…
also thinking of goin SR, but then again i heard no one playing this class atm, cuz of how bad it is this patch
After you get to rank 4 and have Running shot (lv 78 - 82), Things got a lot better.
If you have good upgraded Grand Cross
At lv 80-99 you wreck everything in your sight
You can even solo mission in fedimian when you just get lv 100 (but took long time)
At lv 100 - 145 You are good, very competitive
At lv 145+ Other Archer class start to shine, especially in AOE things such as Wugushi, you feel less competitive.
At lv 160 When you are in Dina bee farm or Demon Prison, you feel even less competitive, but running shot still usable (still very good in non dungeon, map with low hp mobs).
That’s also my experience.
is it due to your gears? or is the class weaker compared to fletchers
From 75-169 my gears is pretty okay or atleast not bad, +10 Grand Cross and Arde Dagger.
Dont misunderstand, it’s generally good and very enjoy to play especially when your running shot can 1 hit kill mobs.
But there are times when AOE are clearly needed and what QS can do is killing one by one.
Compare to fletcher
If you mean comparing between your target build A2 / QS3 / XXX / M and mainstream Fletcher build A / R3 / F3 or A2 / R2 / F3
I can only give you some general ideas but not facts because I never play Musketeer
just get sacrament+cafrisun(+arde dagger if you can) and your life will be a lot easier, i didn’t have ANY problem getting to QS3 and from there it’s just easier in general thx to running shot(save 5 points from qs2 to instamax running shot)
I’m still quite new with QS too, I’m currently at 119 with carfti arde +8 GC, Its fun on my lower levels since I just run and kill them fast, but how do you do in high lvl maps? do you still kill mobs faster than standard wiz/ele or fletchers?
You still murder mobs horribly quick even a later level. It is just the lack of AoE on QS is noticeable at this point. Just need to make up with other classes.
I’m 180 now on my A2/QS3/SR, and while I was out questing today I was still killing mobs in two or three hits depending on how I crit. I’m working on AoE Ratio gear now, but really with Retreat Shot I have no problem with mobs, and even then I almost rather Running Shot them down anyways with the speed I can kill.
I used a shield up until 175 or so, stopped using Cafrisun after like level 40 and never used an Arde Dagger. As a QS, my damage was probably…rather low, and I’ve been just mowing through mobs since I got Running Shot. Even mobs with 30k+ HP go down very quickly with almost no damage taken if you Pavise+RS+Kneeling Shot.
Also make sure you save at LEAST 4 skill points from QS2 for when you change to QS3. Having Running Shot 5 (or 7 if you have a Grand Cross already) as soon as you hit QS3 is a massive power spike, and much more valuable than any other skill you could possibly spend those points on.

Get it back on bro. Mana-mana and Cafrisun is crazy damage that you are missing out on.
I will consider that when I actually have a Mana-mana, but for now I don’t really have the equipment to get any value out of it. At the moment my Rokas Leather Armor and Vubbe Fighter Gauntlets add much more value then 12 earth damage and +1 to all stats lol.
If situation is mobs with 3-5k hp and not very dense Or non aggro, QS is very good. (mobs’s hp under 10k is still okay)
Your running shot hit hard & fast and you can do that while runnning to next position, It will make you kill mobs faster than most class.
But when mobs are densed (Or auto aggro make mobs become dense) AOE is better. Wizard, Dievdirbys, Wugushi net kill per hours is higher.
Such as Demon prison district2
At demon prison district2 I party a lot. People go out and come in, party members change from time to time.
There is a time when my party is consisted of 3 Quarrel Shooters and a Paladin.
EXP rate is Okay but slower than when I party with AOE class above.
This game has a lot of maps, varies configuratin of mobs.
There are maps that great for Solo Running shot, but in higher level, you will party more, less solo.
And when you party in high level, they tend to focus on proper execution of AOE, QS is for nice added dmg and finish what is left over, not main attention.
And when mobs’s hp is like hundreds K, every class is struggle, more or less.
In this situation Wugushi, ScoutC3, mainstream fletcher is maginally better.
Dont get me wrong, QS is good and fun, I just say that there are times and situations when other classes are clearly superior.
We can not be great at everything in one build. It must has PROs and CONs
For Fletcher’s AOE
As I aim to play QS3 / Fletcher3, non synergy weird build, I know.
Fletcher AOE is not that good, Crossfire delay like 3 sec and make me standstill for a long time.
Fun fact from my grinding experience:
