Hi everyone. So everyone's been saying that sharpshot needs a damage buff. I disagree. Sharpshot is just like quickstrike, free damage. However, there is a huge difference in sharpshot and quickstrike. That is, that the amount of time it takes sharpshot to hit the enemy vs quickstrike to hit it is far off. This is why many rangers would not want to use sharpshot. If otm decreased the time it took for sharpshot to hit the enemy/mob,i think that it would actually be a useful skill. What do u all think?

It's not free damage. It interrupts the auto. Quick strike does NOT interrupt auto attack at all making 100% free dmg no matter what lvl. Sharp shot stops auto which is precious to any ranger

Actually P1R, from experience it does seems like free damage. Once sharpshot hits the target, you see 2 auto attack damage numbers appear when your next auto hits.

I was literally just playing a ranger and it does NOT show free damage. I see only 1 number behind the mob from autos. Plus, the whole time whilist casting the skill it stops auto completely. This is why I can not name 1 endgame ranger that uses sharpshot for an everyday build

I still use sharpshot. My advice for it is to build up your dex. It is a lot easier whith all the dex boosting lux to get it high. Then when casting it you need to time the skill as soon as you see the health bar drop from your auto but before the dmg actually shoes up over the enemy's head. For any skill casting always let that little extra hp drop down to get the timing right where it doesn't mess up auto dmg. If there was a dmg de-buff on sharp shot I would not complain though
