FFXIV moved away from auto-attack while WOW went without... how odd.

SE knows why archer doesn't have ranged auto attack. I know why. A good deal of other people who actually play the class know why too.

Play the class and learn how it works. Then you will understand too. Simple.

aha? well then tell us the secret.....

the basic attack is also for generating TP... the difference is, you always have to press the weep weep* button on your own instead of the character performing it automatically.. while you could use much more technical skills and concentrate on them..

and its a question of adjustment how much tp an auto attack should generate.... this shouldnt really fail because of that point.
