Could I please have a way to turn OFF auto-attack?

Ok yeah that’s fair.

Unfortunately I don’t think there’s a good way to “correct” that behavior without gimping yourself (see: /stopattack macros for everything).

I would argue that you probably shouldn’t be targeting the next pack while you’re still in combat with the current one so this is going to be a non-issue most of the time anyway, but it’s still awkward for sure.

It’s tough because it doesn’t matter for literally any other class. They’d have to rework how auto shot works for Hunters. It’d need to automatically disable itself immediately upon targeting something that’s not already in combat. And nothing in the game works that way right now as far as I know.

It can’t just be “changing targets cancels autoshot” because then you’re repeatedly canceling your “swing” timer by tabbing around to DoT or Execute or whatever, right?

There is a check box in the addon i linked earlier that stops auto attacks when swapping targets. I love it on my hunter.

More so to negate the issues with solo farming/running old raids as a bm hunter - sometimes it gets you into trouble especially if you use the pets to loot option while moving onwards to the next pack.

That change in mindset could be quite helpful. I am going to try it.

But I would still like an option to just turn the darn thing off.
