Having to /attack again after Special Ability

Hmmmm
Anyone else having to use the attack button again after using a special ability?
The one I am refering to in specific is the Whirlwind attack.
After using it, I have to hit the attack button again...seems strange that I would have to considering my hammer crush does not make me do this.
Is this a bug or will I be forced to make a macro for this??

Happens on my HE from time to time, don't really know why, seems at random.

well this 'random' is every time for me....lol
At least it seems other skills are effected too

I use this skill a lot. Every time I have to click to re-start the regular attack.

I think it is because Whirlwind doesn't require a target.

same here. it has always been like that; possibly due to not having to target anything to use the skill im thinking

grrrrr.....no fair.....ok well thx all - got the answers....:P

Whirlwind, Thunderstorm, and Howl(I think... not 100%) all interrupt the attack action. You have to manually use attack again. Also, I suggest you don't use a macro, those are even more clunky and unreliable in intense situations. Just put the "Attack" action icon on your hotbar, probably somewhere near the Whirlwind attack, so you can quickly tap Whirlwind, then tap attack again and not miss a beat.

Yes, you always lose target. When I do whirlwind, I follow it up with wildsweep (a sub 40 skill), which does require a target, so it will get your attack going again. You just have to make sure your target is still alive after the whirlwind.

Don't even think of playing a mage then.

ROFL. :D

That's why I love my gladiator.
/assist tank
/attack
/go have sandwich
/repeat

On my SpS, I actually have to hold down/spam Attack if I want it to start swinging after nuking, other wise it just nukes and stands there with hands open, ready to have my butt handed back to me by the mob.
