Default Attack
Default Attacks are the innate Attack skills provided by Martial Weapons, and the innate Unarmed Attack skill "Punch".

The skill level of your Default Attacks is determined by your character level, and in turn determines the Attack Damage scaling of the skill, which is the percentage of your Weapon's damage the Default Attack deals.

Default Attacks never have any cost.
Default Attack Damage
Your Default Attack Damage is the expected damage of a Default Attack, and is determined by the damage of your Weapon and an Attack Damage scaling value based on your character level.

Your Default Attacks will always deal Default Attack Damage unless modifiers are applied to change their damage or skill level.

Some Attack skills provided by Support Gems do not determine their Attack Damage scaling from skill level, but instead deal a percentage of Default Attack Damage.
Base Skill Attack Time
This refers to the base amount of time to perform an Attack Skill, accounting only for the Attacks per Second value of the relevant Weapon and the percentage of Base Attack Speed listed on the Attack gem.
