Equiping my kits and having no auto cast ability? any idea's
Just ctrl+right click on any skill, including kit attacks, to set it to be the auto-attack. Although you will still need to do it every time you equip a kit anew.
Still, the logic of not having default auto-attack with weapon kits evades me as well, and it does look more like a technical bug unsolved than a design decision.
I agree with the OP as well, i play an eng a lot and for the lulz or for aoe packs i will equip flamethrower. It sucks when the quest you are doing requires you to pick up an item and haul it somewhere to turn in. So you have to switch back to your kit every time, and CTRL+RMB every time. Would be nice for a menu option where you can toggle autoattack on/off.
