Mod to start auto attacking when you hit any attack button

Hi. There used to be a great mod out before TBC called "Defend Yourself". It looks like it is no longer maintained.

What it did was the following:

- If you got attacked, it would start auto attack. (not so important for me).
- Had a panic button so you could prevent the above if you are being chased and want to drop aggro.

Most importantly
- If you were hitting buttons that would normally hit and start attacking if you had enough rage, then it would just begin auto attack even if you didn't have enough rage to use the ability you are pounding.

I do not want to make a macro for each of my abilities for multiple reasons so that is why I'm looking for a mod to do this for me.

I'm not sure why Blizz doesn't have this as built in behavior or at least an option for it to be.

I have a lvl 60 warrior and played with Defend Yourself from when I created him. I hate playing without it.

If anyone has any idea of anything out there that at least does the most important thing that I listed, that would be great.

It was removed, considered a cheat, and i agree, as much as it was handy... people still used it to afk kill.. and so therefore was removed, doubt you will see anything that turns your attack on automaticly. sorry.

Yes, can't start auto-attack upon being hit. This promoted people going afk/botting.

BUT, you can just right click your target and it will auto-attack. If you can't use your ability, you'll still be auto-attacking. It has always been this way.

Hi.

I don't care about the part where they are being hit and it turns on auto attack.

What I want is what I specified as the "Most Important" piece. I want to turn on auto attack when I hit any attack button.

Just make macros for your 2-3 most used skills. For example Mortal Strike:

#showtooltip Mortal Strike
/startattack
/cast Mortal Strike

That will do exactly what you want for your MS. Make the macros icon be "?" and it will automatically select the MS icon for it.
