I'm sure only people who played RNG in XI will be happy that ARC in XIV can't auto attack with a bow.



But seriously, who is going to use that handaxe or knife? I'll be shooting arrows, why am I going to run into the mob's AoE range and start poking it with a knife? Can you ever imagine a situation where an archer will be invited to a party to use a handaxe over their bow? Or a handaxe over a marauder with a great axe? The only time you'll use it is when you run out of arrows, and if you run out during any situation that matter then you're not playing your job right.



They could have easily changed Multishot to an ability that makes your next shot shoot three arrows instead of one. It's going to get nerfed anyway because its only cost was stamina and without stamina you'd be spamming it if a cooldown isn't added.

I'm getting bored of archer anyway, think I'll be going THM main after 1.18 until they fix ARC. Right now I can imagine playing ARC being twice the job it currently it. You run up close to poke the mob with a knife for TP, you run back out to shoot, then you run back in etc. In out in out, do the hokey kokey. Or you can sit back hammering away at your 1 key between WSs as you do now.

Still no one has answered my question on why everyone made the developers spend months on auto attack when it appears no one actually wants it when it's here.
I said in a post earlier that it looks good>.> the speed wont be what was shown i'm guessing even if it is its better then the button masher they have now
