Hard to say. The UI in the beta isn't set in stone, there could be some modifications that make it possible to have basic attack on your hot bar. But being so close to release (can't believe I'm saying that) it's highly doubtful much will happen with that.
hmmm for some like Wiz its nothing at all cuz of the skill and the arcane resource but at the other chars like WD when u want to break a barrel for instance you have to do a skill (btw to skill is x10 times slower and costs mana) ~> why so many restrictions?

If i live i will kill you, if i die you are forgiven
I don't see any purpose why would anyone except maybe WD use basic attacks, since for all other classes they have spells that either generate resources they use or don't use them, only for WD would understand why would some people miss basic attack since you need mana for all spells. So lets say you're out of mana then maybe basic attacks would be useful for him since you can't do anything once you're out of mana and if you dont have good mana rege gear yet ( just giving example ). That been said, i don't think basic attack would be of any use for WD so i assume that's why they completely removed it from the game, coz it will probably pay off much better to wait half second for mana and kill with any of his spell then to attack 10 seconds with basic attack for same purpose.

I don't see witch doctors running out of mana because they are breaking barrels ROFL. Those that are trying so hard for auto attack or basic attack in the game really must not be playing beta because the resources fill up so quickly.
The problem peopla have with the missing auto-attack is quite easy. Since moving is tied to your first mouse button and also the button to interact with the world (item drops, etc.) and your primary skill, it makes it hard for ranged classes to run around the dungeon without shooting stuff at mobs that happen to be in the desired location.
This could cause a lot of issues for hardcore due to life or death possibly being moving that one extra step to escape. Needs to be another button you can have to move as well. Possibly click scroll wheel to move, or for those of us with a gaming mouse, button 3/4/5 etc?
I've not tested it, but I've been told that you can bind a key for aiding in movement in this latest beta patch so that the targeting mesh does not become a problem when you left mouse click.
but because of the free skills, you don't really have to use your melee attack, so...
but still, that was not the question...
I prefer to use cool skills.
