Less of a polished kill, more of a proof of concept - a 2:30 Annihilation Kill with a Gunslinger-Handler Quickdraw build? Maybe Quickdraw isn't just for early-game...

Of all the 3 Gunslinger skills Quickdraw is definitely the most overloooked. A very nice tool that does decent damage early on for staggering elites or clearing out pesky adds, it tends to get relegated to a utility role as you unlock the other two skills, as the lack of any skill damage perks on Gunslinger means it starts to fall-off damage-wise.

What it can do however, is instantly reload both guns if used with the Gunslinger prime, and if you stack your skill cooldown high enough, we can get that cooldown to as low as 12s, even before you pop Xenoplasm or Diverting Heart. For certain gun combinations, this is even faster than Provisioner's Ring could keep up with, and means even less damage downtime as you never have to reload. Just make sure to take some Regrowth so you don't run your HP to the ground with Burden of the Stargazer.

Meanwhile, if we take Handler instead of our usual partner Hunter, we benefit from not only 30% Ranged but also 30% Skill Damage - so not only are you skipping reloads, you're getting a nice burst of Quickdraw damage each time.

Another advantage of getting our skill cooldowns so low is it means we get to spam our Handler Howls even more - the howl buffs are some of the few duration skills that actually start the cooldown on activation, not on the buff ending, which means you can get very good uptime ratios - 20s howls with 27s cooldowns means only 7s of downtime between howls. So while its damage buff isn't as much as say, the Hunter's skills, the uptime can keep the Handler's damage competitive, if using Attack Dog for example.

The only downtime you have to worry about is your dog getting downed, so Rugged is an absolute must, as is keeping an eye on your dog's health so you can pop a relic when necessary.

If you want to build this for mobbing / world exploration, I'd swap out Abrasive Whetstone for Jester's Bell, and Twisted Wounds for Bandit.

Hope you enjoy these shorter-form videos - I try to save narrated videos for more in-depth overviews where I'll be covering more build variations together. I might do one covering Quickdraw setups more extensively, since I'm not seeing so many videos covering them, so stay posted!
