I'm level 100 ate build and I've been using long shot and it hits hard. I switched to double shot and figured it hit about the same but it hits only slightly above sharp shot. Should I pick long shot or double shot and why?

Double shot is directly connected to your auto so if you r dex build it is natural that u won't get much out of it. But it is unavoidable and can't be interrupted (unless u get frozen or u move your toon while casting)

But I'm str. While buffed, my damage is like 742. Longshot shouldn't be higher. I feel like double should be hitting for like 900 at least but it hits in the 600s. My Longshot hits for700-800. I don't understand why my double is so low.

Anyone have any input?

Your damage is 742 you say. How much damage do your auto attacks do?

Without lures, you would be doing around 400-500 I'd say, and your double shot is simply two autos in one hit. So an estimate 450 auto would mean a 900 double shot.

With lures, your double shot would probably be closer to 1.2k or so.

Perhaps you should consider using double instead of SHARP. Longshot uses the damage and speed of your bow in the damage and max skill points gives a considerable boost. Longshot should always be your highest hitting skill with any amount of dex in my experience because each strength point will also add to longshot because it multiplies with the damage of your weapon. With a strength build you will notice sharp shot hitting comparably lower and lower as you level up because it's just not made to increase in damage as much as rangers' gear evolves.

If your dmg is 750 buffed, half that and that's your auto dmg and sometimes will be lower. So your dbl is hitting like it should.

So, for the most part, long shot just hits higher than double?

Yes. LS can hit almost as much as "triple shot" with the right gear. The only downside is that you've either gotta be bossing, bola-ing or not taking the damage otherwise it's a one trick pony. As soon as the mob gets to you, no more LS.

I was hitting for an average of 3.3-4k damage on same level mobs in tower. Royal Farsight Charm, two Emberdrake bracers with LS damage and two Royal Spider rings. The initial hit was like a Mack truck, but once the mob was near...
