Hey guys, been dusting off my COR to help out the linkshell with some voidwatch. I noticed last night against Pil my QD was resisting a lot. It did better when I had ascetics on, but it still wasn't great. My marks skill is only like 270. So my questions are:

1. Does marks skill affect quickdraw accuracy at all?
2. Whats the best way to skill up marks? I was thinking maybe spam QD on something?
3. Wildfire is not affected by marks skill, correct?

Thanks for the help!

Both QD and WF aren't affected by gun skill.
For QD only Agi and macc affect the accuracy. While mab alone affects the potency.

I don't think QD is the best way to skillup anyway, you can only fire one every 45 seconds anyway(at best).

1. I've heard that it is affected, and your experience would be in line with that.
2. Why don't you just....you know....shoot stuff to skill up.
3. Pretty sure no.

1. I've heard it did as well, someone did tests on test server or something.

2. Yeah, lowest delay gun you can find, cheap bullets, shoot stuff.

3. Don't believe so.

Honestly? Level Ranger and use a Machine Crossbow to skill up(Velocity Shot, snapshot merits/gear). Or use that really low delay gun and the cheapest bullets you can get.

Get a Awilda's gun(only has 210 delay) and spam bronze bullet. Use QD and triple shot whenver it's up,equip all the QD recast- gear you have(can reach 40 sec recast), equip body+2 for triple shot.

Actually...you get 2 charges. so with Mirke and Merits its 1 QD every 22.5 seconds (if you don't do them back to back)

but that's being compulsive about it.
