not really, they altered it pretty early on so that pressing an attack puts you in attack mode.

you can still do it if you start off with a basic attack, but then you are wasting your long cool down skill. they should probably put back the simple attacks, and make them basically initiate auto attack mode, or just call it attack as mog says.
