We actually cover this in our FAQ: https://forum.lastepoch.com/t/official-last-epoch-general-faq/47963#game-mechanics-3
What is EHGโs stance on Auto-Cast?
This is not an intended feature, but we view its use as reflecting a problem in skill design, rather than a problem with the player using it.
Last Epoch is built around the limit of five specialized skills with the understanding that this will generally result in five active skills that you use at least occasionally. Skills that are optimal to auto cast effectively take away an active skill, resulting in making it just a passive that takes up a skill slot, and giving that build fewer tools to actively use in combat, and fewer decisions to make. This is true regardless of whether the player auto-casts the skill or just mindlessly presses the button every 10 seconds regardless of the circumstances.
We aim to rework these skills so that their active portion rewards more situational and reactive usage. In the meantime we will not punish players who choose to auto-cast these skills.











got it, thanks.
do those work on boss drops? I've never gotten a clear answer on that

awesome
