Though, to be fair, you can't even buff or anything without the circle turning into the diamonds, but buffs aren't consumed by auto attack, so the only thing you should have to worry about is bind/sleep being broken.
    That's a good point I hadn't considered. So now, if you want to use a buff without attacking the enemy you have to Untarget the Enemy, Target yourself, lock in, use your buff, untarget yourself, target your enemy then perform whatever action you wanted. At least melee only have to back up..

    Actually, you only have to target yourself, buff, then target the enemy. Alternately, you can untarget the enemy, buff (thereby automatically targeting yourself), then target the enemy. You added three unnecessary steps. Also, if you're in a party and near max range, backing up will work just as well for ARC as it will for melee, meaning you added five unnecessary steps.
