Well autoattack is very overpowered. But autoattack needs to be nerfed, mages don't need to get ranged attacks.
Oh yeah so lets nerf the one thing that makes some classes ALMOST the T1 dps they should be (namely rangers). Would you like to please explain to me HOW autoattack itself is OP? Not "well my class..." or "their class..." but actual hard numbers and parses that show that Autoattack dependant classes with similar tiered gear, positive group make up etc. are somehow blowing away the casters.
Does it make some classes harder to play because they have to time Autoattacks more than others? Yes, but in so far as the damage its not an issue. Nerf Autoattack and you will effectively KILL classes because we know that SOE is not going to up the damage on a ranger's ranged CA's to make up the difference and around 70-75% of their dps is based off their autoattack (as only one example). Right now there is arguably a minor imbalance, which also arguably effects Summoners more than most caster classes because of resists, but even in reading this thread there is far from a concensus even among the casters as to whether this really is a problem, simply an annoyance or even a complete non-issue.
