I want to know if this build puts out the most dmg possible with QS:

Kindle Arrows, Favorable Winds, Winnowing, Judges Insight

I was thinking maybe Melandrus Arrow would be better because of bleeding plus the +X unavoidable damage, but I would have to dump judges insight ( the %penetr is awesome) or maybe just go frenzy, but if I get attacked I cant throw up whirling defense because frenzy is a stance I think and slow arrows are no good. Im Leaning towards that QS build because the damage is just beautiful to see on casters, hell I even do 40+ on warriors

Melandrus Arrow=elites
quickshot=elite

Winnowing won't do anything for you if you're using Kindle Arrows or Judge's Insight. It only buffs physical damage, not fire or holy.

Kindle negates Winnowing by converting the damage to fire elemental...as the poster above me noted QS and MA are both elites, so you either have to choose one or the other...MA gives unconditional bleed (as long as it hits), but the +damage bonus only occurs on enchanted foes.

If you want this to be practical, you should probably drop kindle and winnowing for rtw. You'll probably gain more dmg then you lose from kindle by spreading 3 stats instead of 4, and you can just make someone else who's not using a secondary attribute take winnowing.

Also, in my limited experience messing around with r/mo's, strength of honor seemed quite a bit better then judges damage-wise, and the fact that it's maintained means less time preparing before every volley like you would with judges. Since judges is unaffected by expertise, which you need alot of in a qs build, it's better to use 1 time cast enchants anyways, despite the degen.

edit: also drop it for all the reasons the above posters gave, which I stupidly forgot about.

edit: ignore everything else I said too!

I know MA and QS are elites and I know the rituals only buff physical dmg thats the point in doing more dmg =p...I was asking if I should take the MA + dual shot or the current build heh

Kindle+winnowing doesn't work, Judges insight+winnowing doesn't work, SoH+non-melee damage doesn't work.
