Gaining auto attack means losing the abilities that made manual attacking so spiky. If anything, they can buff the damage done by the individual shots, because Multishot and Trifurcate were essentially haste effects, and we all know haste is an extremely powerful stat. Granted, our attacks will no longer be subject to operator-induced delays, either, so that might balance out.

Essentially, though, I'd say that Light Shot/Multishot/Trifurcate should never have been such a major component of ARC damage to start with. If these changes mean that ARC weapon skills become more prominent without nerfing ARC damage overall, I'm all for it.
