Hello, title sort of says it all so everything from this point on is somewhat redundant. At any rate, here we go...
An explanation: when you attack with an Arcane Marksman charged attack as it is in its current form, you have the pleasure of manually selecting your charge type each and every time. This is a great limitation to the Arcane Marksman skill, since this relegates combat capabilities to non-pet owning sleepers only.
For example, if I use one of my spells I automatically get to use that spell again for my next attack until I choose another one. The same for guns, swords, fists, planes, trains, automobiles, etc. I can happily blast away at someone with any of those attacks rather quickly. Its a sleek system, and I am into it.
Arcane Marksman is not that slick unfortunately, since each time it gets used it resets back to a default of not being used. I would never stand a chance against someone with pets on auto attack if I had to spend each one of my attacks clicking through a menu to get the damage type I wanted again (even if I had it selected on the previous attack). Its a good idea, but in its current form it is not viable for combat.
What I suggest is that the Arcane Marksman charged attacks get tweaked in one of two ways: either they count for the "Remember first/second charge attack" option on the character settings page so you don't have to pick it manually each time (currently it does not count for that option), or each charged attack you gain from Arcane Marksman counts as a "weapon" based on the firearms you have in your inventory that can be toggled on and off like other attacks.
Especially considering how expensive the attack is (3MP! My lawds!), it ought to have the same ease of use that every other way to attack I have come across thus far has baked in.
Thank you to those who took a look at this!

Is remember charged attack working at all? It's my strong impression that it's never worked for any of my charged attacks. Fixing that issue would probably solve this one too!
