[[File:Attack.gif|frame]][[Image:Punching.jpg|frame|leftPunching.]]Attack is one of the basic abilities possessed by all characters in Diablo 2. It's the default left click skill, and will swing a melee strike at though it can be set to the targeted enemyright click as well.
* Throwing Weapons: Characters equipped with ranged weapons that can be used for melee combat, such as throwing weapons, will use them for a melee attack. (Use [[throw]] to throw the weapon.)
* Ranged Weapons: Ranged weapons other than throwing weapons, such as [[bow]]s, [[crossbow]]s, and throwing [[potion]]s, will all be thrown/fired from a distance, when used with Attack.
* Skills: Skills set to the left click will work like Attack. Melee skills will be used at melee range, while ranged or missile attacks will be fired from a distance.
Most players substitute more powerful special skills for the basic attack, at higher levels. Spell casters usually select a ranged attack spell, such as [[Glacial Spike]], for the left click, to avoid accidentally running up and launching into melee combat they are unsuited to.
