Guild Wars 2

So I’ve been playing as Engineer and am nearly level 80, but there is one thing that bugs me about how kits work. I’m using the trait that causes attacks when you switch to a kit, which means I’m weapon swapping a heck of a lot during fights. What bugs me, though, is that if I ever want to keep attacking something while using a kit (say the flamethrower, for example) I have to constantly hammer the ¹ skill in order to keep spraying. Sure I can manually put it on Auto-Attack, but with the amount of times I swap it out for another kit, it’s almost not worth the precious time it takes to set it up. That and I end up accidentally linking the skill instead in the chat.

What I’m getting at is that Auto-Attack should be defaulted as on for the first skill on a kit, or the game should remember if it was turned on when you swap back to it. It’s a minor thing, but it would save many engineers a lot of pain.

Agree with what you’re saying.

I filed a bug report about this today. Extremely irritating that auto-attack isn’t remembered. Just one more thing you need to do while juggling between kits.

also wtb auto attack enabled on number 1 skill for engineer kits like with weapons.

Agreed. I am only level 35 and this bugs the beejeesus outta me.

I agree with wanting an auto attack for kits also.

I agree, lvl 65 engineer and I find it quite annoying every time I switch kits.

Eh I could see an auto attack for say the flamethrower, elixir gun, and tool kits.

But….I dont know if that would work for grenade and bomb kits.

I mean…how would auto attack work for a bomb kit?

When I am using my bomb,grenade spec I actually dont miss auto attacks. I throw around 3 grenades that each do AoE damage and I can drop a group prettykittenquickly.

If grenade had an auto attack it would likely just be throwing one maybe two grenades at the target enemy, and they would likely not do AoE damage as well.

Part of the fun is running in and spamming the 1 skill to drop grenades right at your feet and decimate a group.
