In other words, why should we have to Alt + right click?
No no no. Do not derail the issue at hand please. At least give the community that much, we all deserve it kdrakak. It's an engine thing. Don't be lazy, just go ahead and Alt+right click. That is not the issue.

Here's the problem and what my assumption is. My assumption is that we must forget the animations for a second. That is, when you alt-charge, the cata is using it's MACE in the charge, and we can't see that. And because it is "charging with its mace", the charge value is different (about half) than primary charge. If this is why the team placed differing charge values, then I agree, it's fine. ALL it means is that the player needs to primary charge (right-click), and when the charge dies down, simply alt-attack to switch to secondary (mace, sword, etc). This may as well be the case.
