    Spectral Shield Throw

    Spectral Shield Throw is an attack skill. The user tosses their shield at an enemy. On impact, it deals physical damage to the enemy and releases shards that deals damage to nearby enemies. Unlike most attack skills, Spectral Shield Throw uses your shield's stats to calculate damage.

    Skill functions and interactions

    • Projectile Modifiers: The initial projectile from Spectral Shield Throw can be modified to chain and fork, but not to have additional projectiles or pierce. Support gems that add these effects will have their appropriate damage modifiers applied to all part of Spectral Shield Throw's damage.

    • Fork: Fork splits the initial shield throw into two projectiles, which can then each individually chain or hit. Secondary projectiles (Shards) pierce by default and therefor are unmodifiable in functionality.

    • Shards: The shield will only explode into shards after it is done forking and chaining. The shards can pierce.

    • Projectile Speed: Increased projectile speed will increase the velocity of the initial shield throw. Similarly to Ethereal Knives, the distance the shards travel is affected by projectile speed.

    • Increased Defences from Equipped Shield Passives: Despite raising the Defences of the equipped shield when taking passives of this nature, these passives do not raise the intrinsic values present on your shield and thus do NOT increase the damage of Spectral Shield Throw.

    • Totems: Spectral Shield Throw cannot be supported by Ballista Totem Support.

    • Attack Speed Modifiers: May not be acting as intended, with many modifiers not applying at 100% of their value.

    • Unarmed: Facebreaker and Doryani's Fist provide no damage bonus to Spectral Shield Throw.

    • Wands: Can be used with a wand, as long as there is a shield in the offhand.

    • Gloves: Sinistral Gloves increase damage with offhand, which includes shield offhand damage
