Guild Wars 2

As an engineer, I switch between bomb and flamethrower kits during battle. It would be nice to have the first attack (the “1” hotkey) of each kit be set to auto-attack by default.

Without having played an engineer that would have been the way I was expecting it to already work.
The way I see it is that unless the weapon either have limited charges to attack with, a chance to break on it’s number 1 skill or has its number 1 skill be a AoE that needs to be positioned it should be set to autocast as default.

Yes, it is very annoying. You cant play smooth, because every time you USE your kits, you have to bind auto attack ON.

The worst part is when you are near water, and if you just STEPPED in the water, you put down the flamethrower, and you have to equip the kit again, and you have to bind auto attack on.

And this is still pissing me off after 200+ hours of playing with engineer. ><

So after 200 hours they teached me NOT TO change KITS, not to use any other skill, just the flamthrower, because it is way too messy, to throw 4 grenades, change back, click with MOUSE , because there is no way to make it with keyboard.

As a level 80 Engineer, this too annoys the fudge out of me.
Please allow me to have an auto attack in every kit, combat would be so much smoother.
It would not be game-changing at all, just an expansion of something the Elementalists already have where they have an auto attack in every element they use.

Thank you.
