No Arrows in ARR?!

[Skies]

So I'm thinkin' maybe the /punch auto attack becomes unnecessary, then, and bard's auto attack can just be an arrow shot? I would be cool with this!

From what I get of one of the translated JP rep posts, the punch auto-attack will still exist to force you to fight at range. It will switch to punching if you're in the enemy's face but continue auto-attacking with bows if you're at range.

This is such a bad Idea. Auto-Ranged attack is going to be nothing short of obnoxious.

Yeah. Having to hit a button to do basic ranged damage was so much better.

Yeah so instead of being able to strategically output damage when its convenient, now you will have to untarget the enemy or put your weapon away every time you want to stop shooting it.

so much better.

Turn auto attack off.

Turn auto attack off.

You can't use your skills if Auto Attack is off.

Yes, more obnoxious then pressing the same button to attack over and over and over and over and over again. /sarcasm

Yeah, because the new system is the exact same as it is now.

Oh wait.

Also, lol @ strategic auto-attack.

Citation please. I'm pretty sure activating a skill will just turn Auto attack back on.

heres a pro tip = turn around so your not facing target to stop attacking. it takes a split second to turn around if your not locking onto mobs
