Notes

To use Quick Draw, the Corsair must have a gun and bullet equipped and must have the appropriate elemental card in their inventory (e.g. Light Shot requires a Light Card). Quick Draw uses 1 card, but does not use the bullet. When Corsair is set as a support job, Quick Draw can be used with any Marksmanship weapon, including cannons and crossbows, provided that appropriate ammunition is equipped. It does not work with Archery weapons. Quick Draw can be used even when facing away from the target. Quick Draw ignores Shadow Images. Quick Draw deals elemental damage based on the Shot used. Note that Light and Dark Shot do not deal damage. See below for information. Damage formula: (2 * Gun base DMG + 4 bullet base DMG + Corsair's Tricorne bonus) * (1 + (MAB / 100)) * (Elemental Staff bonus) * (Day/Weather Bonus) As per the above formula, Quick Draw damage is affected positively by elemental staff bonuses and elemental obis. Quick Draw accuracy is based on AGI. Elemental Staves and Magic Accuracy also enhance Quick Draw accuracy. It is presumed that 2 AGI is equivalent to 1 point of Magic Accuracy for Quick Draw. Elemental resistance inhibits shots of the corresponding element (E.g., Light Shot accuracy is inhibited by Light resistance). Light Shot inflicts Sleep on the target. Light Shot Sleep lasts approximately 1 minute. Light Shot Sleep is overwritten by and does not overwrite Sleep II and Sleepga II. Dark Shot dispels 1 beneficial effect from the target. Light and Dark Shot produce considerably less Enmity than their magical equivalents. Quick Draw augments enfeebling effects active on the target when the corresponding elemental shot is used. See below for information. It is possible to earn Marksmanship skill increases when using Quick Draw.

Horizon Changes

Quick Draw now has 2 charges, instead of just 1. The damage formula now uses 2 times the contribution of Bullet DMG as before.

Quick Draw Effects

Using the Elemental Shot corresponding to the element of an enfeebling effects will increase the potency of that enfeebling effect. For example, using Earth Shot after the spell Slow (an Earth-based spell) will enhance the Slow effect past its presumed cap. Quick Draw's augmentation effect occurs even if Quick Draw has been resisted. See below for a list of the effects.
(Note that many of these values are speculated. Verification needed.)

• Light Shot: Dia Defense Down+5%, Damage Over Time increase *
• Dark Shot: Bio Attack Down+5%, Damage Over Time increase; Blind+10%
• Earth Shot: Slow+10%
• Wind Shot: Acid Bolt Defense Down+5%, Silence+10%, Gravity+10%
• Ice Shot: Paralyze+10%, Bind+10%
• Fire Shot: Information Needed
• Water Shot: Poison Duration increase
• Thunder Shot: Stun+10%

*Special Note about Dia/Bio: Quick Draw will upgrade Bio and Dia to their next spell tier. E.g. Dia II augmented by Light Shot becomes equivalent to Dia III and thus is not overwritten by Bio II. Regardless of tier, the bonus provides a flat +3 DoT bonus.
