Sunder could be used, now "Can't Be Used"
|
I have been using Sunder for a long time.
After being away from the game a bit, I came back and found Sunder "Can't Be Used". I poked around and discovered that the cause of the problem is a sword in my non-main hand. Drop the sword and I can Sunder away. I have dual-wielded since the beginning. I have a mace in my main hand and a sword in my other hand. And I cannot stress this enough -- Sunder has always worked fine. With the sword. Until recently. The other thing I discovered is that I can use a mace in my other hand, and Sunder seems fine with that. Which is okay except for all the sword skills I have. Did something changed? Is something broken? Did something get fixed? I searched around and I didn't find anything that says Sunder+Mace+Sword should not work. I am generally confused about this.

They changed how dual-wielding works. Now for certain skills both weapons need to be of a supported weapon type. No more pure stat sticks. In your case, it's the sword, since Sunder requires "Mace, Axe or Staff".
There is an official new post detailing this somewhere, from a few months ago. |

Thank you.
[Learns what a stat stick is.] If I use a mace in each hand, I can use Sunder and truly dual wield as well? Ground Slam does not have this issue? Last edited by LordPidgebane#6374 on Mar 2, 2019, 2:52:52 PM

Yes, you will be able to use Sunder with 2 maces.
And yes, same applies to ground slam ("...slams the ground in front of them with a Staff, Axe or Mace". It's in the gem description. More on dual wielding: https://pathofexile.gamepedia.com/Dual_Wielding |
