What is Attack?

Attack In-Game Description

Attacks are skills that directly use your equipped weapon to damage enemies. Spells are not Attacks.
The base damage, attack speed, and critical hit chance of an attack are determined using your weapon's stats unless a skill says otherwise.
Attacks do not necessarily deal Physical damage — they can deal any damage type.
