    Will alternate regular attacks (e.g. slash vs thrust) be able to be auto-attacked?

    Just wondering, because it looks like the basic attack is removed from the action bar- Just wondering if these secondary attacks (e.g. on sword, wand, etc) can be set to be auto-attacked with, or if they must still be selected manually).

    No, they are being turned into cool down based activated attacks.

    I have to thank Square-Enix for the amazing job they have done recreating Final Fantasy XIV from Scratch. Especially the inclusion of Missing Genders which we petitioned for in good faith. This was proof to us players that the Developers are truly Sympathetic to our requests and that being honest and vocal can pay off with the amazing characters we have who are Female Roegadyn, Male Miqote, and Female Highlanders. Thank You SE, Thank You Community Team, Thank You Yoshi-P.

    It was in the letter.

    Recast timers will be adjusted for certain actions obtained via quests and guild marks whose action costs were managed solely through the stamina gauge.

    this true, but it is possible that some may use a different treatment, because if you have to spam stab or slash thats basically anti AA. its possible it could be a AA altering skill with a cool down. IE hit it and your AA becomes a stab but then again maybe not.

    So they would act like Sneak Attack in FFXI. Just a bonus to the normal attack with the benefit of having a special animation as well.

    Thing is, these attacks had the same or in some cases less stamina cost than the default attack. It would make more sense to select one of these attacks to use automatically.
