Please have caster auto-attacks turn on by default

[Rongway]

Stand in melee range and it will auto-attack. Don't have to be off in Narnia just cause you have range /shrug

This is untrue. You have to manually activate auto attacks by right clicking, or pressing the Confirm button (numpad 0 by default, I believe). Go try it on a striking dummy and see for yourself.

Not to my experience. Spells or distance will not trigger auto-attacking the target; only physical attacks trigger the auto-attack. So as RDM for example, the dash and melee attacks will set it off but spells do not.

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

Probably from using Weaponskills (the melee combo)? Just a technicality, but probably what turns it on.

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.

All RDM's physical attacks and Enchanted weaponskills, including ranged examples of both, activate auto-attack.

• Enchanted Riposte

Spells, including the mana combo spells, do not. Also, auto-attack turns off whenever you detarget something (i.e., the boss jumps) and needs to be turned back on after they become targetable again.
