What control/movement set-up do you use for your auto attacking classes?

Actually I was wrong. Even the auto attack auto-turns you to face. The only time you won't is if you turn directly away, and I don't think anyone will blame you for dropping a couple DPS during petrifaction/frond fatale, or anything you need to dodge away out of. Legacy is definitely the way to go.

Please don't knowingly spread completely false information like that. Auto attacks never happen when the enemy isn't in a 90 degree area in front of you. We have more than enough problems without people wrongly thinking that autoattacks happen when you move to the flank/rear in legacy without using lock on(or strafing). Autoattacks are the bulk of all 3 melee's damage(even on dragoons who don't have autoattack speed buffs like monk or ninja), and every one you miss hurts you much more than you seem to realize.

I only said that after testing it myself. My character turned 90 degrees to auto. It seems like it's a 180 degree cone that turns, but saying it's anything less is false.

It absolutely is not any more than 90 degrees, its so easily testable at a dummy that I'm not sure how you could believe anyone would believe 180. 180 degrees would mean you could autoattack something that's directly to your side, which anyone could tell you is wrong.

*edit*
Rereading your post, the fact that you called it a cone leads me to believe that you are confusing what 90 and 180 degrees are.

I did test on a dummy. I can move any direction and as long as I don't turn my back entirely I keep autoing.
