If archer has to worry about even trying to build their TP instead of just when to use their WS what is the point in taking them? I'd like to use a light strike to get some TP for a WS but the enemy might wreak me
The issue is with the animation lock, not auto attacking.

Archer's auto attack (punch) doesn't lock archer either, and this thread is about making ranged attacks auto.

I'm against auto ranged attacks because it's more problematic for sleeps, binds and other mechanics that break on damage.
