    I was not aware of that function in FFXIV. Perhaps they will be porting that over too similar to the new UI stuff. From what I hear that too is XIV-esk. Being unfamiliar with XIV I was wondering is there a delay between the time you get TP from a RA before you can WS? Or is weapon skilling between XI and XIV like faerie apples and saruta oranges?

    But yeah, that would be a pretty nifty re-work of ranged attacks. Still though, the almost three second delay after a ranged attack could use some thought.

    I don't know 3 seconds seems about fair considering you're using a bow, not just swinging a sword.

    If I know I'm going to use my WS once the shot lands, I wouldn't put my gun away just to re-draw it. Wouldn't that be like disengaging the mob to re-engage and then WS? There should be a way, perhaps a stance to keep your Arms at the ready and in that stance the 3 second delay is reduced. Should the stance have a melee penalty like Velocity Shot? Also, I think it would need to be accessible /rng for COR and other ranged attack users. (SAM/rng THF/rng)

    Just an idea.
