Crucible Weapon /1

Weight	Desc
500 (T5)	Shield Charge and Chain Hook have 2% increased Attack Speed per 10 Rampage Kills

Version history /19

Version	Changes
3.28.0	Fixed a bug where skills supported by Living Lightning support could then become supported by certain normally restricted supports. An example being Shield Charge being supportable by Multistrike support.
3.25.0	Shield Charge: Now has a Mana cost of 6 at gem level 1, scaling up to 10 at gem level 20 (previously 10 at all gem levels). Now has a level requirement of 4 at gem level 1 (previously 10), and a Strength requirement of 16 at gem level 1 (previously 29). Now deals 9 to 13 Base Off Hand Physical Damage at gem level 1 (previously 12 to 18), scaling up to 252 to 378 at gem level 20 (previously 134 to 200). It has 3 to 5 Added Physical Damage per 15 Armour or Evasion Rating on Shield at gem level 1 (previously 3 to 4), scaling up to 8 to 12 at gem level 20 (previously 5 to 7). Shield Charge is now offered to the Marauder, Duelist, Templar, and Scion for completing Breaking Some Eggs, and can be purchased from Nessa by all classes.
3.16.0	Shield Skills deal too much damage for how little investment is required and have had their damage unintentionally increased by the buffs to base armour defences in this expansion. Shield Charge also generates Fortification too easily without investment. Lower the flat added damage bonus on Shield based skills, and rebalance the added damage to slightly lower the damage of the skill in general. Shield Charge in particular has much lower base damage, but now gets more added damage based on the defences of your shield. Overall this is only a slight damage loss for players using a high defences shield. Shield Charge now has a base Attack Time of 0.5 seconds at all gem levels (previously 0.53-0.47 seconds). Now has 3 to 4 Added Physical Damage per 15 Armour or Evasion Rating on Shield at gem level 1 (unchanged), up to 5 to 7 at gem level 20 (previously 4 to 6). Now deals 12 to 18 Base Off Hand Physical Damage at gem level 1 (previously 16 to 25), up to 134 to 200 at gem level 20 (previously 350 to 525).
3.15.0	Shield Charge:
3.13.0	Shield Charge
3.12.0	Fixed a bug where Poet's Pen would trigger skills from a Shield Charge.
3.10.0	Shield Charge Fixed a bug which caused shield cosmetic microtransactions to linger if you used Shield Charge.
3.9.0	Fixed a bug which caused minions created by Dominating Blow to not use their Shield Charge.
3.8.0	Shield Charge now uses your equipped shield, including any cosmetics applied to it, for its effect, with the exception of the "Focus" shields (pure Intelligence base types).
3.7.0	Shield Charge The following skills are now considered "Travel" skills and have the "Travel" tag: Blink Arrow, Bodyswap, Flame Dash, Leap Slam, Lightning Warp, Phase Run, Shield Charge, Smoke Mine, Vaal Lightning Warp, Whirling Blades. Shield Charge
3.5.0	Added physics interactions to many skills, including Abyssal Cry, Blade Flurry, Blade Vortex, Blink and Mirror Arrow, all Curses, Desecrate, Discharge, Earthquake, Enduring Cry, Frost Bomb, Ice Crash, Ice Nova, Leap Slam, Lightning Warp, the Offering skills, Orb of Storms, Rallying Cry, Shield Charge, Sweep, and Wither. As a result of this change, Ground Slam, Vaal Ground Slam, Shield Charge, Leap Slam, Double Strike, Vaal Double Strike, Reckoning, Ice Crash, Earthquake, Vaal Earthquake, Sunder, Word of Light, Edict of Light, Decree of Light, Commandment of Light, Word of War, Edict of War, Decree of War, Commandment of War, Tectonic Slam, Consecrated Path, Smite, Ancestral Warchief and Vaal Ancestral Warchief are no longer main-hand only.
3.4.0	Shield Charge To help compensate for this loss in movement speed for most characters, Shield Charge now gains 1% increased movement speed as the gem levels up.
3.0.0	Shield Charge now specifically gains more damage for hits as it travels, and not for any damage over time.
2.6.0	Fixed an issue where Shield Charge had two separate damage modifiers at gem level 2 and above, which displayed as "Deals 50% base damage, Deals 101.2% of base damage". These have been combined into one modifier.
2.4.0	Fixed a bug where some Grandmasters did not use Shield Charge correctly.
2.3.0	There is a new Shield Charge helmet enchantment available. Shield Charge is now an Area of Effect skill. It deals damage to enemies you collide with as you charge, then deals a larger aoe at the end of the charge. It no longer always stuns. It gains more damage and stun threshold reduction the further you travel, up to a certain distance. Cruel Izaro has had his life reduced by 20% and the damage of his various skills reduced: His Leap Slam and Shield Charge damage values have been reduced by 12.5%. His Ground Slam, Reave and Goddess Spirit Mortar Barrage damage have been reduced by 10%.
2.2.0	Fixed a bug where The First Rhoa (found in the Untainted Paradise) didn't use regular attacks. Previously it would only use shield charge on far away targets. It will now shield charge more aggressively when not near players
2.1.0	A short instance-wide cooldown has been added to many monster skills. Monsters with "bursty" skills have had this cooldown applied to reduce player deaths from fast, hard-to-predict damage. This includes skills such as Leap Slam, Flicker Strike, Shield Charge, Lightning Warp and Arctic Breath. Most of the affected skills are appropriate as initiation skills, but are not ideal when many monsters perform them simultaneously. Fixed a bug where Shield Charge did not break breakables.
2.0.0	Shield Charge: The end animation now scales with attack speed. Shield Charge can no longer be supported by Multistrike. Base Damage is now 50%. Damage at maximum range has been increased, and the stun duration has been set to 200% at all levels. It now has 50% increased movement speed increasing to 69% at level 20. It now grants 1% increased damage per 1% quality (was 0.75% per 1% quality).

Shield Charge

Shield Charge is an attack / movement / travel skill. The player charges at a location with their shield. Enemies that collide with the player while charging are damaged, knocked back, and stunned. Enemies in the way are pushed to the side. Unlike most attack skills, Shield Charge uses your shield's stats to calculate damage.

Skill functions and interactions

Damage and reduced enemy stun threshold are proportional to the distance charged. The maximum charge distance is 60 units 1 Note that the in-game average damage tooltip for Shield Charge does not factor in the bonus gained from charge distance.
The damage dealt on strike is based on your shield's stats. Your main hand weapon damage would not play into effect, however, you can use wands, one hand melee weapons, and be unarmed. This also means it will not proc triggers on weapons such as The Poet's Pen, Cospri's Malice, or Mjölner.
Area of Effect: Shield Charge deals AoE damage at the end animation of the charge in a circle in front of the player. Modifiers to area radius and damage affect the skill.
Use Time: Shield Charge has three distinct sections — the start of the charge, the movement part of the charge, and the attack at the end of the charge. Your base attack speed affects the startup time and ending attack portions of the skill. Modifiers to movement speed and global attack speed affect the middle movement portion of the skill.
Shield Charge cannot be supported by Multistrike Support.

Version history

Version	Changes
3.18.1	Improved the behaviour of some travel skills when repeated through Echoing Shrine or the Echoist modifier gained by killing monsters. Flame Dash, Whirling Blades and Dash now repeat in the same direction as the initial use. Shield Charge is now able to repeat, though only the larger area attack performed upon reaching your target is repeated. Attacking in place with Leap Slam now repeats in the same direction as the initial use.
3.16.0	Shield Charge now has a base Attack Time of 0.5 seconds at all gem levels (previously 0.53-0.47 seconds). Now has 3 to 4 Added Physical Damage per 15 Armour or Evasion Rating on Shield at gem level 1 (unchanged), up to 5 to 7 at gem level 20 (previously 4 to 6). Now deals 12 to 18 Base Off Hand Physical Damage at gem level 1 (previously 16 to 25), up to 134 to 200 at gem level 20 (previously 350 to 525).
3.15.0	Now has the Physical tag. Now deals 16 to 25 Base Off Hand Physical Damage at gem level 1 (previously 16 to 24), up to 320 to 525 at gem level 20 (previously 190 to 284). Now deals 3 to 4 Added Physical Damage per 15 Armour or Evasion Rating on Shield at gem level 1 (unchanged), up to 4 to 6 at gem level 20 (previously 3 to 4). No longer has +0.2% to Critical Strike Chance per 10 Maximum Energy Shield on Shield.
3.13.0	Now deals 16 to 24 base off hand physical damage at gem level 1 (from 15 to 22), up to 190 to 284 at gem level 20 (from 172 to 258). Now has +0.2% base critical strike chance per 10 maximum energy shield on your shield (from 0.1% per 10). Now deals 3 to 4 added physical damage per 15 armour or evasion rating on shield (from 2 to 3 added physical damage per 15 armour or evasion rating).
3.12.0	Now has alternative gem quality.
3.10.0	The radius of the damaging circle at the end of the charge has been doubled. The effects have been updated to match.
3.8.0	Shield Charge now uses your equipped shield, including any cosmetics applied to it, for its effect, with the exception of the "Focus" shields (pure Intelligence base types).
3.7.0	Now deals damage in a cone, rather than a circle, on impact. Now bashes when used against targets at very close ranges. Can now be used with wands. Now deals base damage equal to, and has an added damage effectiveness of, 100% at gem level 1 (from 50%), remaining the same through to gem level 20 (from 61%). Now has 75% increased Stun Threshold Reduction on enemies at maximum charge distance (from 50%). Now deals 150% more damage with hits at maximum charge distance (from 200%). Now grants 90% increased movement speed during the attack at gem level 1 (from 75%), up to 109% at gem level 20 (from 94%). Now has a mana cost of 10 (from 8) at all gem levels. Now gains 1% increased movement speed per 1% gem quality (previously 1% increased damage per 1% quality). Now deals damage based on your equipped shield, not your weapon. Here's how it does it: Base off hand critical strike chance is 5%. Adds 0.1% to critical strike chance per 10 maximum energy shield on shield. Deals 11 to 17 base off hand physical damage at gem level 1, up to 132 to 198 at gem level 20. Adds 2 to 3 physical damage per 15 armour or evasion rating on shield. Base off hand attack time is 0.53 seconds at gem level 1, down to 0.48 seconds at gem level 20.
3.4.0	Now has three distinct sections—the start of the charge, the movement part of the charge, and the attack at the end of the charge. Your weapon's base attack time now affects the start and end, and movement speed and increases to global attack speed now affect the middle. Local attack speed modifiers no longer affect the middle movement part of the charge, whereas previously they would. In other words, while using Brightbeak will cause the start and end of the charge to be quicker, it will not cause you to move from point A to point B any more quickly. For that, you need to invest in global attack speed and movement speed. To help compensate for this loss in movement speed for most characters, Shield Charge now gains 1% increased movement speed as the gem levels up.
2.6.0	Fixed an issue where Shield Charge had two separate damage modifiers at gem level 2 and above, which displayed as "Deals 50% base damage, Deals 101.2% of base damage". These have been combined into one modifier.
2.3.0e	Shield Charge now has 20% less area of effect and the maximum distance has been increased from 50 to 60.
2.3.0	Shield Charge is now an Area of Effect skill. It deals damage to enemies you collide with as you charge, then deals a larger aoe at the end of the charge. It no longer always stuns. It gains more damage and stun threshold reduction the further you travel, up to a certain distance.
2.1.0	Attack skills that have their damage based on the wielded weapon have their mana costs fixed in place from level 1 onwards.
2.0.0	The end animation now scales with attack speed. Shield Charge can no longer be supported by Multistrike. Base Damage is now 50%. Damage at maximum range has been increased, and the stun duration has been set to 200% at all levels. Now has 50% increased movement speed increasing to 69% at level 20. Now grants 1% increased damage per 1% quality (was 0.75% per 1% quality).
1.3.1b	Fixed a bug with Shield Charge that would cause it to get out of sync.
1.3.0e	Fixed a bug with Shield Charge where it could repeat the end animation several times per skill use.
1.3.0	Shield Charge now supports Facebreaker.
0.11.1c	Fixed a bug where Shield Charge Multistrike hits after the first did no damage.
0.11.1b	Fixed a crash with Shield Charge and Melee Splash.
0.11.1	The Melee Splash support gem now works with Shield Charge. Shield charge can now be evasion\|evaded.
0.11.0	Fixed a bug where Shield Charge would deal no damage if used very close to a monster.
0.10.0c	Fixed a game server crash that could occur when using Shield Charge.
0.10.0	Fixed a bug where your speed would not change when using Shield Charge to travel through ground ice or ground tar.
0.9.12t	Fixed a crash that would occur if a player or monster tried to use Shield Charge while caught in a Bear Trap.
0.9.12qq	From 1% damage per quality point to 0.35%.
0.9.10	Removed increase to knockback distance based on charge distance.
0.9.6b	Improved the effects for Shield Charge
0.9.4	Shield Charge now provides no damage bonus if used at minimum range, because it's fast and doesn't miss. It still provides the same damage bonus at longer ranges.
0.9.1	Fixed a bug that allowed Shield Charge to be spammed really fast. Increased stun and knockback.
0.8.3	Added "Shield Charge" skill
