I can't use melee attack when my resource is low

Hi, so, I have a problem with Diablo III, I play a barbarian so my basic attack is a melee attack, when I assign a skill other than primary and my resource is insufficient to use, my basic attack is does not trigger. And I find that a shame because I really love the game that I really enjoy building with my characters. If you know how to help me, that would make me happy! :smile:

That would be this Barbarian…

With these abilities…

Let’s split those up…

Fury Generators…
Ground Stomp - 12 second cooldown
Furious Charge - 10 seconds per charge regenerated

Fury Spenders…
Whirlwind - 10 fury cost, channelled
Battle Rage - 20 fury cost
Earthquake - 25 fury cost

What’s conspicuously absent is a fury generator that you spam to rebuild your fury so that you can do more whirlwinding, i.e. Bash, Cleave, Frenzy or Weapon Throw

The reason you’re running out of fury is because you’re not using one of these primary attack abilities to generate any. You can’t rely on Ground Stomp and Furious Charge as their cooldowns are way too long.

None of what you’re reporting is a bug.
You’d be better off moving this to the New Player Help or Barbarian forum.
