Guild Wars 2

Generally the auto attack will turn off and I’ll use Assassin’s Signet to initiate the backstab once i’m behind my target, but sometimes ill randomly auto attack out of stealth when i was facing my target. Everyone should know how frustrating this is since all you have in backstab builds is your opener(to an extent).

I do understand that you can ctrl right mouse click your “1” to turn auto attack off and i’m curious how many of you backstabbers actually do this.

Yes, I’ve been having issues with this as well and it’s pretty frustrating.

It happens with the Short Bow too that it will randomly start auto-attacking thus breaking Stealth in the process. I’m not exactly sure what’s causing the issue as it doesn’t happen all the time but it’s pretty annoying.

Yes I have my 1 skill auto turned off. I find myself pressing it even when I do have auto attack. It just makes me more involved although my thumb hurts from pressing 1 on my mouse after a long session :P

I do the same thing. Turn off auto-attack.

It’s more fun and much more rewarding than sitting there letting the game do it for me. Also prevents many issues like accidentally auto attacking the wrong mob, or when you’re trying to pull off another skill.

Pretty much this. The only time I use auto attack is when I’m messing around and testing something on the training golems. I just turn it on and count how many cycles before something procs. Other than that, auto attack stays off.
