Toggle / Auto-cast Abilities

They said that if the skills are frequently autocasted, it means that they’ve failed to make it a decision for players. In other words, that skill will be reworked instead of just allowing autocast.

This!
All my skill suggestions are always about making skills more actively used and making them important for particular moments. Having at least one of our five skills as a passive or regular buff - is a loss to a gameplay quality.

@darkdeal

Some skills that have some huge burst thing like Flame Ward should have a much longer CD
…
Other skills that have a continuous effect but still need to be recast, like Shield Wall, should be a toggle to turn on

Agree.
Though, again, I’m strongly against simple buffing mechanics no matter the cost of those skills or a size of their power loss. It’s just not interesting. My idea is to give those skills some passive role (defense generators, for example) AND active effect, like I’ve already suggested it for some skills long time ago (Summon Bear, Fireshield).

I mean, “Flame Ward” is a ward generator, right? So let it generating it constantly while this skill is on the panel! And just give it some usage effect: 2 seconds 60% damage reduction and retaliation effect, 3 seconds fire aura, sacrificing ward to empower few next spells… anything!
