A default attack is an inherent attack skill that is usable with a martial weapon or while unarmed. Default attacks always have no cost.

Default attacks are always listed at the top of the Skills Panel and are granted automatically based on your equipped weapons. Default attacks can be supported by support gems like other skills. Like granted skills from passive skills, default attacks gain sockets and damage scaling based on the player's character level, rather than with Jeweller's Orbs or item level.

Caster weapons do not have a default attack but instead grant a spell that scales with item level. See List of items granting inherent weapon skills. Additionally, Spear Throw is not considered a default attack, although all spears normally grant Spear Throw.

Certain support gems or effects may use "default attack damage" to calculate damage; this uses the value of a default attack's base damage, before any modifiers to damage or skill level, which is equivalent to 100% attack damage.
