Am i the only one without an auto-attack symbol

[GalgierRex]

So, i've just rejoined after waiting for the 1.18 patch to go live, and i've switched to conjurer and learnt Curaga and Raise like i was told. But now i have an empty slot where according to the DEV video my auto-attack should be.

Am i the only one who thinks auto-attack without the icon in your ability list is stupid. I'd really like a little icon with its little 3second recast timer on it, telling me when my next auto attack is about to come. else it's just mental. and you havent got a clue whether you're attacking or not. accidentally click an enemy, i might start attacking them without knowledge

That is until they start flashing red (which btw is awesome). But yeah an actual auto-attack button in my list would be nice

Range doesn't get auto attack.. only melee.. Same as it ever was'd...

[Kajika]

Even the ranged classes get auto-attack when they are within melee range. I think there should be some kind of button. Right now, enabling auto-attack, esp. on mages, is tricky. You have to target, then press enter to lock on. If you see the "circle" it won't auto-attack. If you see the "ex", then it will.

There no icon anymore you just target and your start attacking you no longer have to press to attack. Or are you saying something else?

I agree id like to have an attack button on the action bar. Not like before patch 1.18 but jsut a button to select attack so you dont have to highlight the mob, lock onto it, and all that stuff. It would make it a lil more convienient but also it would rob you of an extra action bar slot. Maybe it could be an optional thing. Similar to how they have different ways of targeting in the option menu.

As ranged, you should not be auto attacking at ALL. It causes far less damage because you are forced into melee range with decreased damage.

There are "Symbols" and "Icons" for auto attack per se. When you target an enemy in active mode there are two symbols, the yellow sword symbol means you are not auto-attacking, the red sword with the swooshy animation means auto-attack has been initiated on the mob.

Yer i know, but i'm talking about on the action bar. i know when i'm targetting an enemy, it's just where i used to have "Light stab" for instance, there is now an empty slot. What i'm saying is. I was expecting an "auto-attack" cooldown thingy, in slot 1 where Light stab used to be

Sorry if i explained that poorly

As Zenaku stated, there's no skill icon for auto-attack on the action bar, so you're not going to see any auto-attack cooldown thingy. Just target a mob, face it and enter active mode; as long as you are at melee range you are starting auto-attack.
