Shield Charge buggy

I play my Templar with Shield Charge similar to a smite pala in D2. Yet if I'm close to enemies and try to Shield Charge them it happens quite often that i don't hit them at all - contrary to the skill description stating that the attack cannot miss.
Maybe your distance is to low then? Charge attacks need some run-up to work properly...

rhoas use shield charge and you can see from their attack behaviour that they can't charge if you're pressing in on them close.

though i noticed that elite rhoas have a very much shorter charge distance. maybe there is a way...

The distance affects the damage..but it shouldn't affect the functionality of the skill..
I've already noticed and signaled that shield charge doesn't work properly..
The distance only affects the amount of damage you'll deal - but should't affect the hit chance.
It happens quite frequently that I'm in melee range hugging my enemy and I'm charging nothing but air.
Not counting in obvious problems if you try to hit someone standing on stairs or sometimes next to an obstacle like pillars so I'm forced to walk away a few steps and try again.
I've been through areas cleaning out every monster with close-range shield charges, and not one of them has missed for me.
Are you certain you've actually got the enemy selected with the curosr when you charge?

I did. But there is no real pattern there when it happens. I can clean whole areas and hit every single enemy - and there are other areas when I have to realign myself a few times just to hit a few selected monsters.
In 28 pvp my shield charge doesnt miss even at point blank range

Highest level char in Closed Beta, Wytchfindergeneral
Most likely caused by lag/latency. It happened to me a few times as well, when i moved away a little the monster would sometimes "blink" to another location and then i could charge it normally again.
