I've also discovered, not sure if this is true for ALL drains, but the undead cannot be cobra striked. I thought in Act 2 that the cobra strike was bugged or something because almost all the time I got nothing out of it, but been paying attention in Act1 Nightmare that only living things can be drained
Makes sense though
So what level did everyone else remove normal attack?
I like to fire one glob, then teleport, fire another, sorta like kiting... They nerfed Teleport AND Frozen Globe... 
That makes me sadf.
Frozen Globe now has a Casting Time, and I can't Teleport through enemies anymore (I'd use it to get away from swarms. 
It's kinda funny to break all the seals in the Chaos Sanctuary without killing a single creature. Diablo won't spawn till you kill Eater of Souls, Lord De Seis, and the Grand Vizhier guy).
Paladin: When I got zeal.
Assasain: I may never get rid of normal attack with her.
I dont like the changes to leech at all. it really sucks.
BTW anyone know where to find a picture of the MTG card elvish piper?
I constantly use cobra strike, thus my Dragon Claw is very effective. I dual hit instead of a single hit, and the 2 mana matters nothing when I drain like 60 back
I don't plan to ever use normal attack again, Dragon Strike is so much better... one thing I like about the assassin is that dragon flight and dragon tail don't use weapon damage, so I can hold my own with cobra strike and kicks while nekkid.
Spearmazons use Jab, and javazons should have the long ranged attack instead of normal. Some bowmazons switch to Magic arrow, as it doesn't take up arrows, becomes free eventually, and increases damage.
Paladins use zeal. Sometimes. Most of the time.
A Sorceress has too many choices. I prefer to leave it as attack. I can't resist running up and finishing that rotting corpse at 5% life and frozen with a good whack to the head.
Necro's work like sorceresses, except there are a few necro weapons that can be used for REAL powerful attack damage.
I don't have the expansion yet, but from what I know, assassins stop using attack at an early level. Dr00ds are unknown to me.
They make for a great combo, though. Hit the enemy for five times with every strike, and have every hit they do to me returned tenfold. No melee creatures have ever even made me pause. My only real problem is spell casters (and exploding enemies, but that's another matter entirely)

Secondary: Strafe/Immolation Arrow/Freezing Arrow(The big AE cold one.)
Level 35 necro - I drop normal attack for bone spear at level 24, then switched to spirit at 30.
Level 28 barb - when I got enough mana leech (level 20 I believe) I did nothing but bash.
Level 24 dr00d - Still using it, to the best of my knowledge. I don't have enough mana yet to warrant a spell as my main attack.
The trend seems to be with melee classes, use a special attack once you've built it up a bit and have sufficient mana leech to keep your mana up. With casters, you have to wait a little while longer, until you get sufficient mana regen and have enough mana to make that regen powerful enough for you.

Weapon set II: Normal attack on primary, summon valkyrie on secondary.
I've hired a barbarian mercenary for a pet, the valkyries are good at soaking up damage, but they don't dish it out all that well.

charge ups rock hehe, i started using them in act 3 and i;m breezing through the game while taking out multiple enemies with my dragon tail which does 300% or so more dmg and a ridiculous life and mana tap hehe.
I have Ice Arrow as my main attack. Does Normal damage (For leeching) AND freezes/chills. Strafe is normally my right click, with a valk occasionally getting summoned (if she dies)
With my +2 Bow and +2 to all skills, My Strafe is at 24 skill, ice arrow at 5, Immolation 13, and freezing Arrow(the AE) is 8
I keep 8 things on my right click and scroll through em with my wheel. I leech enough mana to use ice arrow as my primary (on single targets) or to strafe 2+ targets
Of course if i end up with 10+ targets, i can have just 11 mana and one strafe fills me up. its like a Full Rejuvination potion

The barbie has berserk/conc/stun for left click and right click as like 4 things from the warcry trees.
Caster paladin has FoH/zeal on left click and some auras on right.
Then after gaining control of the world, I'll reveal my plans to a young man with spiked hair who forms a party and eventually destroys me.
Remember the most important part of being an evil villain, is revealing your plans to somebody who can stop you with a mysterious past that you happen to be involved in.
Yup, Dragon Claw is farrr superior to normal attack still
)Anyway it was level 12 when i finally got enouph leech to multi constantly. All my jewelry and my bow was leech gave me 21%
