Operator error.
1. It already has a ranged attack. You're just not using it.
2. It has multiple ways to either reduce or evade incoming non-super damage as it tries to close the distance.
3. Hit registration (at least on console) isn't wonky. Its always been solid for that super. (Void-dancer is another story)
4. There is no point in having subclasses if all of them do the same things. What you are basically saying is that Arcstrider is a poor fit to your play style. Then just choose something else. You sound like you would be happier playing Gunslinger.
Arcstrider is a subclass based upon a high-agility play style. To use it effectively you have to have a good degree of skill and comfort with the game's movement, and with fighting up close. Where as Gungslinger is about fighting at range.
