If the current level of damage is attached to the Auto Attack of an Archer, they will be hate pulling machines. If it is not, then one of two things happened. They made Archers do less Damage or they made Archers attack slower. Neither of these two options is worth having auto-attack. Especially when having the manual shot allow for a much more strategic fight. I prefer not watching my Character fight. I certainly do not want to go back to the painfully slow melee combat of FFXI.
I didn't say from Light Shot plus Multishot plus Trifurcate. I said from Light Shot. You're talking about reducing the damage output (or slowing down) the ranged auto attack. The ranged auto attack is Light Shot. It's not Light Shot plus Trifurcate. It's not Light Shot plus Multishot. It's just Light Shot, plus something like Raging Strike. If that, by itself, pulls aggro, your tank is incompetent and needs to learn how to play his class. If you're going to keep trying to mix 1.19 abilities into your arguments for 1.20, you need to stop being disingenuous. . .
