Lol, well BLM has always had melee auto attack. Same as SMN smacking the crap out of stuff with a book.

In 1.# archers had an auto-attack in the form of a punch. It was really annoying cause auto-attack interrupted firing arrows. It always bugged me that you couldn't auto-attack firing arrows. Oddly, now that archers have infinite ammo... I miss the punching.
And here we have more auto-attack delicacies. Blessed be!

Yep both blm and whm have an auto atk. They strike with their staffs/wands. VERY early 1.0 they had a ranged auto atk but that was like in 2010 when FFxiv first launched.
I still remember first DF-Strategies on Titan HM, where the Party just does Auto-Attack him to Build up LB.
It was funny, watching my staff poking this big rock...
So sure, BLM had melee Auto-Attack since i remember, starting ARR in Beta.
I personally miss stone throw and wrist flick from 1.0. Stunning ifrits ultimate attack with a miner, full of win.
the only auto attack I ever *did* is when my whm after being under the spell of Siren in Sirius went to smack the head of the tank ...that was the funniest moment ever especially that I was dreaming since we started Sirius to do that myself without being under any spells..
Not sure is worth to bother about this..I play BLM too auto attack has never crossed my mind not sure I even know how to start one...
Good luck anyway
