Bug Reports - [Not a Bug] SHIELD CHARGE CANNOT HIT MOVING ENEMIES - Forum

GGG can u clarify is this skills mechanics are working properly or if this is indeed a bug? If it is working as planned do u guys see any changes to shield charge in the future? Hardcore Never scrubcore!	Posted by postofficetcup on Apr 21, 2014, 4:13:35 PM Quote this Post
Shield charge only damages the targeted enemy, other enemies are pushed to the side as described on the gem. It can only damage the targeted enemy if you do collide with it on the movement, or if it's in within melee range on completing movement or stopping for a collision. The charge ends if you collide with the target and perform the melee strike, so if the enemy moves closer to you, you won't charge as far. This is not a bug, but we do have plans to revisit shield charge in the future to improve it's usefulness.

A revisit would be nice, I personally think it should be a skill shot or an aoe at the end of the charge because even if the enemy has no movement speed and is slowly moving away from the shield charger, the skill will come short. In pvp if a enemy has knowledge of this the skill is pretty useless : ). Thanks for the reply Mark!

I used the skill a little while leveling, and I have to ask, when you guys rework it, please bring along with it a new animation. The current implementation really lacks "ooomph," it could really be made a lot more badass and full of impact with something like a few particle effects upon hitting or some dust kicking up on the floor. It could be a really awesome skill!	Posted by Lord_Kamster on Apr 22, 2014, 6:20:40 AM Quote this Post

Shield charge has been so bad since forever. There has been quite many ideas about how to improve but I am not sure why they are not implemented.

It is so awkward to use as a skill in general,let alone in PvP where i think it should shine the most. What is a gap closer that you cannot lead into battle with and know the outcome,the answer: garbage. FIX PLIZ :)	Posted by MidWest on Oct 15, 2014, 6:52:23 PM Alpha Member Quote this Post
Make it a skill shot, wherever the shield charge ends aoe damage occurs. It would fix everything seriously.
