Exploit with Warrior Shield Bash POE2

Accidently discovered a pretty broken bug that allows you to spam the shield slam far faster than should be possible. I made a macro for it even, so I know exactly how fast it is. It attacks almost three times faster than the base attack speed. Here is the method so support can see it and anyone who wants to have a bit of fun with it.

Step one, hold shield bash attack.

Step two, just after impact, use shield charge while holding shield bash.

Then, you just keep spamming shield charge while holding shield bash. Go too fast, and the animation will cancel before impact. There is no going too slow.
I've found the most consistent speed to be about 300ms (base attack speed is 800ms).

Maybe this has already been found, but figured I'd post in case. have fun!


(EDIT): The speed at which you can spam it is directly correlated with attack speed. Upon socketing the martial tempo gem, I was able to input the exploit 25% faster (225ms). This could become incredibly broken XD
Of course, since this is tied to attack speed, debuffs will affect it as well. However, you will always be able to attack 2.66X faster than you should be able to.
