Why is "Weapon Attack" used when I have Savagery? (explanation inside)

Let me explain.

I am using both Savagery and Primal Strike on my druid. In a heat of a battle I might sometimes click “Primal Strike” skill button even though the skill itself is on a cooldown. So whenever I misclick like that “Weapon Attack” is used.

My suggestion: since “Savagery” is a skill that used instead of “Weapon Attack” and has all the same features (procs stuff just as “Weapon Attack” does), why can’t it be used when I try to use a skill on a cooldown? I don’t need “Weapon Attack” at all, why can’t Savagery be used in all instances?

What’s the difference between what you want and “every time a skill is on cooldown and I execute that skill, trigger default weapon attack skill instead”? For instance, if Overguard is on cooldown and I execute it trigger Candence.

That’s the thing, everytime I execute Primal Strike while it is on a cooldown it triggers “Weapon Attack” and NOT Savagery.

What would be if we have more than one default attack replacer??
Just bind PS on hot key, not mouse button and that’s all.

As there’s only the default attack, why would you have more than one skill to replace it ??

It’s unlikely as you said, why would someone take more than one replacer like Fire Strike and Beronath’s Fury but the possibility still exists - how would the game determine which replacer to use in this situation?
