Guild Wars 2

Had this happened since release, with my elementalist, auto target and auto attacking nearby mobs (even neutral one) when switching attunement to air for speed boost. I thought it was an Elementalist attunement bug and it still exists now.

Then I found the same thing happens with my Guardian when using Retreat. It will choose a target nearby automatically but since I use a melee weapon, I won’t attack but only enter combat.

So the problem is probably when you use a skill with your auto-target on, it will always pick up a nearby target if available, regardless of whether the skill is offensive or not.

Please fix this. We have been waiting for 3 months and it is still not fixed.

I know right. When you use speed boost (Lightning attument.) You autoattack mobs nearby. Staff auto-attack bounches and suddenly you have a horde of mobs behind you. Plus, you actually are slower because you entered combat..

For some reason I auto-target and attack mobs with autoattack skills when I switch to Air Attunement for the speed boost. This is annoying, especially when it autotargets neutral mobs. Please fix this issue.
