Is this an intended behavior of the skill, or is this a bug we could maybe get fixed. I’d like to use magnetic aura on the run but when I do, it autoattacks a mob nearby. I’d rather not turn off autotargetting for when I play melee characters, and I’d rather not turn off stoning autoattack and have to repeatedly mash 1 to attack while in earth to work around it.. other self buff skills don’t trigger autoattacking, why does magnetic aura?

I bug reported this a week or two ago.
It’s not a first strike attack skill so it shouldn’t behave like one.

Retreat! Also trigger auto attack. Imagine cast retreat in stealth running on arah. Lovely!!!

We just don’t want players to grind in Guild Wars 2. No one enjoys that.

hmm, I haven’t noticed Retreat! doing it, but I don’t use a scepter so I might not notice it.
