Engineer Kits Auto Attack
If I am not mistaken, the Elixir Gun is a bundle, or a kit as you refer to it, and therefore I think that you must manually select which ability you want it to auto-attack each time.
It’s an ongoing issue that all engi’s are upset about (myself included). This is literally the main reason I prefer the Grenade Kit to the Flamethrower. Who want to reset their auto that often? What a headache. Hopefully they fix soon.

As siege weapons, they cannot be set to auto-attack i think.

If other classes switch to their 2nd weapon set do they have to set the prime attack ability to auto attack each time, No. We are not given a 2nd weapon set because our kits/bundles are meant to fill that requirement. The fact that engineers have to set their prime attack on a weapon kit to auto attack every time we switch strikes me as unfair.
I hope they add the same with the Lich form for Necros
So far all environmental weapons and summond weapons have no auto attack on. But Anet can easily programme it so that skill 1 is always auto by default for them. And in case some people don’t want that can turn that off in Option.
What I would like them to do with this is allow it to keep your previous preferences. There maybe some kits that you do not want to have an auto attack for such as the Med Kit. It is a bit of a conundrum. The question is if you change the auto attack to another skill on weapons does it stay the same or do you need to change it every time you switch weapons? If it does then I would suspect that the best thing to do would change the type of item a kit is to a weapon as an easy fix but there may be other issues that we are not aware of…
