When I first jumped in to the game in April of 2007, someone advised me to have a primary power set to auto, so I did. Now, keep in mind that at this point, this is the first MMO that I have attempted........ever! I didn't know any better. I was blind invited to a team, think there was only 3 or 4 of us. Anyways, we were doing missions in Faultline (you remember Fusionette right? LOL) Couldn't figure out why mobs were coming at us and we kept getting team wiped. After the 5th wipe, someone asked me if I had a power on auto. Obviously I responded with "yea...why?" In big capital letters comes across my screen "TURN IT OFF....IT'S KILLING US!!!"
Yep :-) Lesson 1: Never set a primary or secondary to auto unless it's healing aura.....
