What activates auto fire?
As a hunter, I have a basic attack that will use my weapon for low damage every couple of seconds. I know that if I right click on a hostile, it will start, but are there any other ways to activate it?
Best Answer
Pressing the T key should do it.

Why is my vape auto firing?
The most common reason for auto firing is a poor connection between the battery and the atomizer. This happens when there are some cracks in your coil or when there is an excessive gap between your coil and the threads on your battery. You might also find some liquid leaking from these cracks as well.How do you turn on auto fire?

Answer 2
What you are referring to is "auto attack"
Using a ability will start your auto attack.
Answer 3
Most of your shots will activate your Autoshot however some of your abilities won't. Especially Pet abilities like A murder of Crows, Stampede and Dire Beast will not start your Autoshot. For some reason Glaive Toss also doesn't start it which makes it an excellent pre-cast ability for Survival Hunters (Glaive Toss has a projectile speed of 18 y/s).
To start attacking a target you have 3 options: You can Right-click it, you can use an ability which triggers your autoshot or you can use a /startattack macro. To turn off your autoattack simply use a /stopattack macro.
There's also some weird behavior with the /stopcasting macros. Examples:
#showtooltip Disengage
/stopcasting
/cast Disengage
Will simply cause you to finish your cast without disengaging and stops your autoattack
#showtooltip Disengage
/stopcasting
/stopcasting
/cast Disengage
Will instantly interrupt your cast and your will disengage while your autoattack remains active.
I have absolutely no Idea why stopcasting works that way and whether it's intentional or a bug (i guess it's considered a feature now) but it's something many hunters don't know.
