I know that ki blasts applies your basic attack when it hits, but what I've noticed is especially with the Lava slime. That because its treated as a basic attack, even at a range you still get hit and proc on melee effects.

Case and point I shot a ki blast at the lava slime from a distance, however it still hit me with the retaliation effect that happens when you hit them with a melee attack. I believe its mainly because it applies your basic attack to the move. I believe that it shouldn't proc or activate effects that do so on melee attacks because its supposed to be a ranged attack.

This isn't really a bug, and the changes you are suggesting would make it lose out on some seriously potent perks, such as the 15% extra damage from Monster Hunter, you could give it a Ghosthands effect but even then, you could also just equip a ghosthands yourself.

The same thing happens with roaring rose's shot skill, if anything does change
