Yes

No. Hits a little bit higher than auto. At least for me.

I found the same. I'm not even a strong dex build and it still hits better than an auto, but not much. To be fair though, I swap a mordi brace when I use it so I'm not sure if I would use it without that item. I also found that that with a 30% attack speed boost, sharpshot is about half the attack time of a normal attack. So even if it deals only an auto dmg, you're getting it in half the time. I have been using it and will continue to do so. Still a little unhappy with it though.

That is so untrue. The animation itself is at least 2 seconds, and it takes at least 1 second for it to hit. In those 3 seconds I get 3 shots out, dealing 3 times the damage

Well I sat with a stop watch and ran several trials. If you did the same I'd like to know how you came to that conclusion as our methods differing may shed some light on the subject

Ive used a haste lix and casted sharpshot, and then again once lix ended. The timing was the same. Haste does not effect sharpshot because it's insta cast. That's basically the conclusion I came up with.
Haste does decrease cast time of skills I've seen that, but it does not decrease animation time.

I even ran some testing with Longshot. Even with very few points in dex they can provide a fair amount of damage. I do about 100 points in dex and maybe 400 from items just to give you an idea. Between those, rapid, and double I think they are useable skills but only for say 5*s and bosses that 'aren't worth hasting'. If hastes, even with all my test runs, stat applying, equipment change is still not use those skills during a haste. So I will agree it's not worth it while hasting. It's a start. The whole thing needs to be overhauled

Maybe you have poopy damage gear?

Well, you're right. I don't like my 150 magic dmg mordi helm. It does give me 800 attk though. My bloodthorn set isn't a skain, so there is that. Also, my hrung braces only provide 100 and 80 heat dmg, instead of 120 and 120. My overall damage is a feeble 3714. So I think there is that to consider

My Sharpshot is hitting for on average 700-1k over my autos...Atm I have 900+ str, 600+ dex, 2,000 auto damage in profile sheet, 50/50 Sharpshot with two Ember bracers from previous event that add 200 direct damage to SS.

My Longshot is also hitting harder... Steady Aim/LS charm and added 257 damage from one bracer and a Royal Spider ring with +8 skill and added damage.

Fighting same level mobs (185-187) in the tower, between LS and SS, depending on # of stars of the mob, I can have the mob down to 1/4 HP or near half by the time it gets to me. Getting 1 solid red bar per XP now using both skills.

It's definitely a big improvement from what it was, also hitting a lot more on leveling mobs and bosses.
