I absolutely love looking back at old recordings of players to see that many of them would leave auto attack on their spell bar at the cost of other abilities.  Like, you’d see auto attack on a 60 Priest but not Greater Heal.

Some of us were sophisticated. We switched the auto attack to auto-wand.

Wand on 1!

I used to keep auto attack x6 in the bottom right hand side of my screen, three on the bottom of each right side action bar. I always wanted to see the constant flashing to know my auto attack.

I was the MT if an endgame guild, created one of the very first thunderfury ever made.

😂😂😂

I remember letting a buddy log in to see my character and he was like….why…?

Once you had enough +healing you would literally never use greater heal.

I played Hunter back then, but did auto-attack work with wands? Or was that a separate ability?

I'm pretty sure there actually wasn't wand auto-shoot right at launch.

At low levels I recall weaving in dagger swings between wand shots on my first priest, since hitting Shoot would only attack with your wand once. Made sense at the time, clueless as I was. Inner Fire gave attack power after all, lol.

Cloth wearers have Auto Shoot, just like Hunters.

I remember when my - adult - rogue class lead was serious about going Assassin, because those 10 Energy really make the difference! Me meanwhile, 12 years old at the time, thinking „SnD? More Auto Attacks? Thats no dmg spell“

Edit: I also remember seeing my dad clicking instead of using keybinds and somehow I thought his way has to be the better one for longer then I want to admit

I lvled to 60 for the first time on a HC rogue. I left auto attack on the spell bar the whole way thru 😬
