Auto Attacks

[R E F L H E X.8413]

I always thought the auto should be a tiny icon somewhere above the skillbar triggered by "r" similar to gw1 auto.

This would open up skill slot one for an extra skill. I dont see this change being implemented though due to things now like backstab/ambush its still doable though.

You're basically asking for an xpac worth of new skills to be added to the game, probably requiring 1/3 a years worth of internal balance testing.

I've thought this since launch could never make the post.

Your auto attack is a skill in it's own, they come in a huge variety and with different effects and cheins, absolutely no need to change it.

I didnt say change auto I said move it to a different location so its not an actual skill just an auto like in gw1 then putting an actual skill instead of something known as an auto in skill one, it just seems how things should be.

Well, technically GW2 doesn't have a dedicated auto attack.There is the possibility to set any skill in your build to auto-cast. The skill will then automatically be cast if the casting-requirements are met and no other skills are queued.It just so happens, that there is also 1 skill-chain on your weapon that has no cost or cool-down.
