I've been using quickstrike alot (so awesome in pre-update) but now I'm thinking about giving it up b/c

1. It hits lower than my auto
3. gets evaded so much...
4. misses an auto when I could do 2 without quicking.

I'm thinking about putting quick points into reflex b/c it's like the rogue version of protective stance so, here's my opinion about quicky.

It's really a good skill but it got nerfed so badly

P.S: those are my personal opinions maybe I'm wrong but, don't flame me for that.

Yes, everyone is entitles to their opinion and I think that you are quite right about some of yours.

1. It hits lower than my auto

In some cases, quite right. If you do not have enough points invested into it, and your melee hits are pretty good there is a good chance QS won't seem up to scratch. You can play around with adding more points or using a weapon with less damage/faster speed to help balance it out.

3. gets evaded so much...

This could be happening because you either have a low cunning ability or your enemies have high physical attack evasion.
Just letting you know that smoke bomb will not affect this.

4. misses an auto when I could do 2 without quicking.

Ah, a common problem! If you learn how to time your QS perfectly you can actually get the skill in without interrupting your melee! If you can master this, it adds a bit of bite to your dps, and your opponents in pvp will be like "where the hell are all these hits coming from?!"
However the faster your weapon is, the harder this is to pull off.

Sorry, after re-reading this it looks like I'm trying to prove you wrong in every case but I'm really not

Just trying to offer you alternatives to how you can apply this skill to help get the most out of your skillpoints!

agreed, qs is sucky, my dmg stat is just over 1k, qs maxed has stat damage of 718

its hitting 100-200 points lower than my auto, and i honestly do not want to have to time my hits between frozen dagger with haste gloves on

Quickstrike does suck I have 35/35 my autos own it by a good 300 sometimes even if you one it right sometimes it bugs ur next melee so it shows your damage bit doesn't take the health from the person or the monster which is really shocking if I am onest and decreases your dps. Not to mention if you really want to use it. You need some regen and therefore have to sacrifice a damage item on u for a regen so ya not good. The only time it is good when you use sneak first I think and is also a good aggro puller when tanking but really not a very decent skill and needs some sort of an upgrade

+1

I like qs and u can time it between hits for extra damage but the fact that it taunts so much even non upgraded that it can overpower a fully upgraded taunt annoys me and cost me idols when I taunt bosses to myself or wyverns wile leveling.
