Guild Wars 2

I’ve asked around guild, the heart, and scanned my keybinds – there is no “stop auto-attacking” function. Am I missing it? I can’t imagine this deliberately designed this way (though maybe I’m wrong). When someone throws up a projectile reflect ability, I dont want to keep trying to shoot them – my current options are all pretty bad.

De-targeting doesn’t always work, and isn’t always something I want to do. Shift-clicking to disable autoattack in the middle of a heated match would just be stupid. My only current option is to turn 180 degree’s away from my target and wait, and thats just silly.

Sheathing your weapon will stop your auto attack, or just simply ctrl + right click it to disable the auto cast feature.

This is going to sound dumb, but how do you sheath your weapons?

Hiting Escape key will also stop autoattack
But hitting Escape key a second time will remove your current target, so do not spam

There’s a hotkey for sheating. There’s a lot of interesting things you can do with it like cancel animations of some abilities. I highly suggest getting used to it. It’s extremely useful.

Thank you, I did miss it.

Hitting esc works well for me.
