Guild Wars 2

When automatic autoattack is on and you attempt to cast another ability, it typically instantly cancels the autoattack and seamlessly goes into using the next ability.

When it’s off, i.e. manual autoattack where you’re pressing the button yourself every time, every time you press the button, attempting to cast other abilities during the cast time no longer cancels the autoattack, instead queueing them after your autoattack has finished, and you end up needing to press ESC if you ever want to cancel out of an autoattack…

Can this be changed? For the longest time I’ve wanted to use manual autoattack, but I also want autoattacks to easily chain into other abilities.

Play with autoattack off.
It’s much better.
