Shield charge with wands does not work.

I know there were some reworks with skills from the whole stat stick fiasco, but I did not see anywhere that this was affected. Verified it was an issue with wands by only removing the wand and having no main hand weapon. Skill functions normally after.

This quite build breaking.

I not sure if this is related (or if it is just a new "feature") but I was unable to equip some mixed weapon types as my alternate weapon set. I use the alternate set purely to bake quality into gems and so I only care about the socket colours, not the weapon features and hence why I end up with odd combinations of one-handed stuff. The Patch notes seemed to indicate that skills would no longer work if the offhand was ineligible - not that the weapon could not be equipped.

Edit: specifically, a wand and dagger, a wand and sceptre

Correct. You can no longer have mixed sets like that. It was a way to combat stat stick abuse for non related skills.

But that should not affect wand + shield + shield charge.

Hi Corrison,

Wand + Shields and Shield Charge has never been something that works. Shield charge requires a melee weapon, or being unarmed.

Equipping a wand in one hand, and a dagger in the other isn't supported either.

Well that's unfortunate. Is it because it has a melee tag and wands are supposed to be spells only? Are there any plans to fix / change it?

Thanks either way though.

It's because Shield Charge requires a melee hit at the end of the charge, and wands don't do this. As is, this is the intended behaviour. Feel free to post your feedback in the Feedback and Suggestions section for the designers :)

And thank god for that, shield charge with a wand might be the dumbest thing I've ever heard of.

You would use shield charge to gain fortification not for dps. Fortify requires a melee attack / skill to proc it. https://pathofexile.gamepedia.com/Fortify_Support

Thanks for the info. I probably should have known that but this is my first, league start character in the north half of the tree. I probably just didn't have any wands lying around before to equip and see the result.
