Im trying to choose between those two builds …
I love the play style of both
But i really need a comparison of them, like…
How’s the leveling processes?
Which one is easier for solo play?
Which one is better in a Party?
Which one is better early game?
Which one is better late game?
Which one need less gear to be strong?
Which one reach his power-spike faster?
For one, the advantage of QS is the fact that you can already get it as Rank 2 Circle 1 Class so the levelling process to max it will only need you to get to rank 4
This is entirely dependent on your class track because if we are to compare QS to Sapper, we need to Compare QS Circle 2 with the class before Sapper along with Sapper itself at Rank 3.
Both shines in Party imo, though QS3 really shines with a party of other archers because iirc Running Shot is a shared buff. As for Sapper, best party mate would be a Peltasta as that one has Swash Buckling that can be used to group up mobs for claymore or lure to the traps that you place.
Life of QS is somewhat hard and also has the SP problems. You have to be somewhat crafty on using QS Circle 2 until you get your relief at QS Circle 3. Sapper has it a bit easier because of claymores that deal immense amount of damage at the cost of having to buy claymore mines from Sapper Master at the cost of thousands of silver ._.
It’s hard to tell really, the major disadvantage of QS is the fact that it shines with only a party majorly consisted of archers and that party composition wouldn’t really shine so much on early game against mobs that have very high physical resistance. But it can still work maybe, with a Thaumaturge and Chronomancer for uber Auto-attacks.
Sapper has end game utility which is Detonate traps that destroys the magic circles/tiles of enemies i.e. Safety Zone, Heal, Deprotected Zone, and etc. Do note however, that it also detonates friendly circles/tiles as well so gotta be careful as the demolitions expert xD. No friendly fire though so collateral is manageable.
If you’re referring to equipment i.e. boots, gloves, etc. then they’re pretty equal. They don’t beat each other in terms of gear but in terms to how crafty the user of them is. Both of them are crafty classes afterall.
QS will reach its own power-spike faster because QS Circle 3 is at Rank 4 while Sapper Circle 3 is at Rank 5.
@tsigetartseht Thx for the quick answer, but I kinda fkd up a little right here … by S3 i meant Scout 3, sorry! (i’ll edit this in the main topic)
Assuming im going like these:
Archer C3 > Scout C3
and
Archer C3 > QS C3
it is easier to respond?
Ohh I see I thought you meant Sapper because of [Spammer] 
and they have somehow similar/augmenting playstyles.
As for Scout however, I don’t really have much say because the class didn’t take my interest at all, so far I’ve only know by good details QS, Sapper, Fletcher, and Falconer
All I know for Scout is that they have invisibility advantage and that sparks skills of theirs are really painful X_X
Sure have a nice day 
Some youtube watching might help you as well on Scout
QS C3 shines on 1v1 combat like Boss fight because of Running shot while SC C3 is so good on clearing mobs with Split shot.
therefore it depends on your play style
