@deathssavior1577 As others have said, it is a focus based skill (like your rift ability), you must have at least one full focus bar to use it. Whether you're using a bow or daggers does not matter. Focus abilities are not intended to be able to be used often, you save it for when you really need it. There are also inquisition perks (from the war table) to increase your focus bars from 1 to 3.

Ok, maybe I was thinking of a different skill.....Thousand Cuts is a focus based skill, in the Tempest tree....I was thinking a different game maybe...

Best guess is you don't have enough focus to use the skill, Focus is shown by the gold bars just above your skill hotkeys. So if you don't have a full bar or three, then you can't use the skill. In your first picture you definitely don't have enough focus, and in the second, I can't tell, but you may still not. So fill the bar up and see if it is usable, but it is basically a one shot ultimate power and not a every fight thing...which is one reason I rarely use my focus skills, or base a build on them, cause my luck is I will really really need it and it is not available..
