Question: Spectral Shield Throw interaction with Trap/Mine/Totem

Hello Exiles!

The skill gem:


"Throws a spectral copy of your shield as a projectile...".

"Remote mine, Trap gem and Ranged Attack Totem cannot be supported with skills that use melee weapons."

So is your shield considered a melee weapon? If it's not a melee weapon it should technically work with trap/remote mine and Ranged attack totem.

Right?

Traps and Mines support "Spells, or attacks that use bows or wands".

Ranged Attack Totem supports "Any bow or wand attack skill".

Shield Throw uses neither bows nor wands, thus probably can't be supported by either of those.

I have suggested that this be changed for 3.2, as I agree that having shield throwing totems would be awesome.

Thanks, somehow I missed that. Although, I'm more weighted towards the miner/trapper playstyle, but your suggested change would be most welcome. Hopefully the path notes will deliver :)
