What is this auto attack that u speak of? DO u mean when u target a monster it doesnt attack it without u selecting ranged attack? Or is it that u broke it? Heres a good tip..equip the bow, ammo, and target the monster. Then u use range attack..or maybe a macro would be handy. AND THEN U SHOOT! tada its so complicated i dont think i can repeat this sorry.:p :p :sweat: :sweat: this game is gosh darn complicated. I mean how do u use a bow..shouldnt it auto attack random monsters?

Wow chill out Cri all he wanted to know is if you could auto attack with bow like other melee weapons. It's not like he asked if there was a way for the Ranger job to play itself. It does get tiring mashing Ctrl+D over and over but such is life.

thx struck thats what i wanted to know, that if i have to smash ctr+ d all the time because it sucks...why it cant be like everquset that you have the bow outside all the time you want because its really anoing and stupid to take it out and put it awat all the time....i hope square make a patch or something
BUT I STILL WILL BE A RANGER!! I DONT CARE (ANOING) BUT I DONT CARE

I created this macro for a semi-automatic attack with a ranged weapon

/ra <t>
/wait 6
/ra <t>
/wait 6
/ra <t>
/echo Macro me again.

Obviously you'll need to adjust the wait times based on how quickly your range attack does come out. But it's the best alternative ... now you'll be CTRL-D'ng 66% less =)

lol thats a pretty cool macro there

however i dont think its of too much use because i find that its much cheaper to just shoot once or twice during the battle because of the amount of time it consumes. i dont mind pressing ctrl d or whatever over and over.

also if the bow was meant to be autoattacking it would be equippable as a main weapon
