Hello I picked up my hunter for Cata and I noticed every time i use a ranged ability regardless of what it is arcane shot any of my stings it will stop me from continuing my auto attacks. I would have to press my auto attack key again to start auto attacking again. Is there a way to fix this? I am talking ranged auto attacks
Do you have a /stopattack macro bound to your abilities? Your auto shot isn’t interrupted by abilities anymore.

No i dont.
Also you can just remove auto attack ability from your bars, any ranged attack will automatically engage your auto attacks, or you can just add a /startattack macro to your abiilities.
yeah auto shot is the same as auto attack for melee classes, nothing should stop it unless you have a stop attack macro or are too far/too close but with you saying you are using abilities that shouldn’t be it.
i just hopped on my hunter and i don’t have any problems , my shots don’t reset auto shot, they don’t stop it, and i even auto shot while casting steady shot and while moving
Yeah but it doesnt =( … If start my attack with serpent sting it does the ability and stops. If i start the attack with auto it will continue to auto until i weave any other range ability.
do you happen to have macros that try to use melee attacks from back when hunters did melee/trap weaving?
No I turned off all add ons replaced the auto attack icon. Still not working. Spoke to another lvl 70 hunter and he said he is having the same issue
How do you know its stopping? Are you basing it off of the animations?
No I literally stop attacking and stand still
So any ability stops your auto attack?
Open your spellbook and click the ability instead of using it from your bars, see what happens then.
Just tried using auto attack from spell book waited then used arcane shot from spell book and same result. Tried also not using my pet and still same results
Don’t press the auto attack button, just run within range of a mob and hit arcane shot.
just made an arcane shot auto attack macro and still doesnt work. Ok found 1 ability that doesnt cancel my auto attacks and thats trap launcher
just did the last wg at 3pm est, I didnt have this problem.
Bought dual specialization switched between specs Still having the same issues.
Maybe try posting in the Customer Support or Technical Support forums.
You could maybe try adding more detailed steps to reproduce, but it sounds to me like what you’re saying is that
So, if for example, I engage on a mob by say right clicking on the mob (which starts my auto attack shots) then cast say Serpent Sting, in your case, you’re saying that stops your auto attacks. I am not experiencing such behavior.
Another example would be that I open with Serpent Sting. And only press Serpent Sting. This starts my auto shots.
Hmm, there is a setting under Options > Gameplay > Combat called Auto Attack/Auto Shot.
Do you have that checked?
EDIT: I think that’s probably it. I just tried unchecking it, and if I do something like /cast Auto Shot then /cast Arcane Shot it puts me into an /autoattack mode, even if I don’t select that.
Try checking that box, and I think you’ll get the expected behavior.
