    Auto Attack for Archer

    Would it not be better and does it not make sense, that auto attack for an archer should be some form of an arrow being launched at a timed interval rather than a swing of the fist or throwing of a rock or whatever the hell it is now?

    If an archer is standing back at a distance, as an archer should be, he will never auto attack and never auto gain any TP.

    I'm sure they've probably thought about this and It's very early in the morning right now and I'm probably missing something but that's fine. I'm sure someone will enlighten me as to why this would be a horrible idea. Hopefully it's done tactfully, but I doubt that will be the case either, lol.

    You gain TP through Light Shot, I'm pretty sure the only reason there is no ranged auto attack is because it breaks bind/sleep, that and maybe because it uses ammo to attack so it should be done at the user's discretion. ARC has Quelling Strike to get more TP for its next shot and Invigorate to get some TP over time, I haven't had any issues with TP at all yet.

    I wouldn't be averse to having a Ranged AA toggle, but currently I do really like having Light Shot be a selectable ability since I get a lot of mileage out of Shadowbind. ARC's action bar is kinda crowded, I'm kinda hoping they will get rid of Refill now that you can change arrows in battle, so maybe they could replace it with an Auto-Light Shot toggle.
