Please have caster auto-attacks turn on by default

[Iscah]

And this is SCH autos, which hurt the most out of all the healers. The AST in the same party did about 1/10th of the damage in autos vs the SCH.

Is that about raw damage, though, or about where they were standing and whether they were remembering to activate it?

Red Mage seems to the only caster which has auto attack on default.

As I mentioned earlier, it is not auto-triggered by spells but only by the melee attacks. If you start the fight by dashing at an enemy, then that will trigger it "from the start", but it's not because the basic settings are different.
