Please have caster auto-attacks turn on by default

[Coatl]

Healer autos even SCH scale really really poorly. They won't do a significant amount of damage. Don't get me wrong OP. I agree that there is no logical reason why it SHOULDN'T work the way you describe, I'm just saying that ultimately it's a non-issue.

It's free damage though, and there's no reason to not have them automatically turn on. If you've ever had a .1% enrage on a boss before, and your healers and casters didn't have autos turned out, that could quite literally be the difference between a kill and a wipe. It's roughly a free gcd across the course of a ten-minute fight from 3-4 party members. It's not huge, but it's there and it's free, so why not have it turned on by default?

I....actually had to check this for my own curiosity, not to prove or disprove anything. I looked up a log of a SCH (since they do the most auto attack damage) and their autos dealt 14.5k damage to the current final boss of the current savage tier within the course of the whole fight.The last boss has 40,192,744HP. .1% of that would be 40,193. So with book smacks alone, the SCH did less than .1% of the boss' health in damage. That's not an amount I would personally worry about, but it is technically free damage yeah.

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.
