Please change ARC close-range auto-attack from punching to striking with bow

[Nee]

I like punching monsters with the mighty fists of Nee !! Fear the lala.

Whenever I play archer, I actually enjoy getting in close when the enemy HP is almost gone and shouting ARCHER PUNCH on vent.

It's great when it's the killing blow.

[Andrien]

how about piercing the enemy with the arrow in hand in close range instead.

[Warlock]

You need Hawkeye's bow to hit mobs with it hahaha Legolas hit orcs with his bow? i don't remember..but i do remember him punching , personally i wanna see Yoshi-P's Musketeer with dual barrel guns

They really need to re do the animation before 2.0 comes out and let us smack the mob with a bow like Archers would have done in medieval times.

I wouldn't mind hitting with the bow, if, like real bows made for that sort of combat, the bow actually had bladed ends (they actually did exist with metal bowframes)
All I care about is the fact that they are removing ammunition (I like my consumable arrows thank you) and making your auto attack a ranged attack. Bard doesn't need auto attack, you choose to attack when you need to and buff your allies. Can you deal fantastic damage? absolutely, but now you have an auto attack frame in the way of all of this >.> I don't like it.
But I am willing to see what it is really like when the game comes out. I know I'm just nit picking and all, so I want to see what Archer/Bard will play like when it is all said and done. Maybe the auto attack wont be as bad as I fear?

kraken clubs all around. there. i said it.

[TimonLoon]

Need to get rid of the punch and just have only Ranged-Auto Attack.

ITT: People who think movies are historically accurate.

/em watches a movie where the actors use rapiers as slashing weapons.
