Musketeer - QS c3 v Ranger c3

Hey guys
I’ve been reading (a lot) and, ultimately, I can’t answer that question:
Which one is better, QS c3 or Ranger c3 into Musketeers

I filtered my Musketeer build to two possible paths: One autoattacking (aka machine gunner) and one focused on skills.

• MG:
Archer - QS c3 - Archer c2 - Archer c3 or Scout - Musketeer

I’ve left some points free on QS
Archer c3 gives Kneeling Shot level 10, but I’ll lose camouflage. It’s a valid option still

• Skills:
Archer - Ranger c3 - Scout - Rogue - Musketeer

Maybe we can adjust Rogue here


With that in mind, my thoughts:

  • Ranger c3 path is going to be a very bursty build. I’ll be able to Camouflage, Steady Aim, Sneakhit, and finally Snipe someone. It’s an almost certain kill confirm combo. Headshot is there just waiting too.

After that, I can switch weapons and still use Ranger skills to apply huge damage.

But after my combo comes out, I’m as good as dead until camouflage CD comes down.

I don’t have any kind of CC, besides some basic slows.

  • QS c3 path is an autoattack. I can boss around. Cross xbow is going to give Running Shot level 7 which is nice. I’ll be able to Swift Step (for crits), Kneeling Shot and Running Shot. The ultimate turret combat skills.

I’ll be able to use Pavise to protect myself from some skills
I’ll be able to DPS after my combo comes out (actually not much of a combo, just Snipe Headshot)
I’ll have a stun from Stone Shot so I can protect myself

I don’t think this path gives enough comfort to the PvE, which is fair being a good PvP build.

But to be able to use this path, I need to be stationary, thus making me an easy target for anyone.

It can’t, probably, combo-to-death someone, I’ll need to sustain-combat to kill anyone.

So I ask you:
Tell me if I thought or did anything wrong
Show me your opinions
If you have videos or any help, just be aboard

Thanks,
