Please change ARC close-range auto-attack from punching to striking with bow

[Reika]

There's no more Light Shot in ARR. All basic ranged attack is handled by AA, the same AA that punches in close range. It simply switches back and forth based on distance.

That being said, again, this discussion is relatively trivial and isn't worth delaying ARR even a second.

Doesn't make sense for it to bother switching back and forth when it could just stay arrow shots. If bow weapon skills are doable at melee range, bow auto attacks should be the same.

Makes perfect sense to me. I can't imagine an archer realistically nocking and shooting arrows at a target that's all over his/her face attacking it.

From a gameplay perspective it encourages the ranged attack class to maintain its range for effective damage output.

I see nothing wrong here.
