I have been having a consistent problem with the #1 Attack skill not auto repeating on my Mesmer. At first I thought it was a combination of weapons but that does not appear to be the case. My bottom attack slot does not auto repeat the #1 attack skill anymore. It used too but stopped doing so about 2 days ago and has not worked since. There are quirks…

The top slot combo of weapons will always auto repeat the #1 skill properly. It never fails no matter what. If I begin combat with this combo active it will auto attack and I can swap to the second combo of weapons and it will auto attack properly as well. However, if I begin combat with the bottom slot active, it will not auto repeat. Even if I switch to the top combo and back, it will still not auto repeat that #1 attack skill.

Needless to say, this is annoying as I cannot necessarily always be on the top slot every time I engage. This is especially true when handling more than 1 mob at a time. The only other option I have is to simply never use the bottom combination of weapons which is even more annoying than constantly having to hit 1-1-1-1-1-1-1-1 over and over again to make sure my attack continues.

Update: More testing – this is not happening on any other character I have…tested on Ranger, Guardian, Warrior, Thief. However, on the Mesmer it continues to happen as describe with a new caveat. The Auto Attack feature is causing the issue. Only on the bottom combo of weapons, the auto attack feature is occasionally randomly turning off. I swapped weapons back and forth inside and outside of combat an without warning on occasion the auto attack on the #1 attack skill randomly turned off in between swaps. No, I am not accidentally hitting Ctrl+Mouse 2 as it happened just hitting ~ to swap weapons. without any other keys being pressed. If I get more info I will update again.
