Mage - Static Charges Don't Build Up

Hello,

Was messing around with some specializations and found that “Static” stopped building charges when I added “Arcane Ascendance” & “Focus” specializations. I’ve tried selecting “high voltage” node, removing the 2 new skills I added, restarting game, and the issue still remains.

Static only builds charges while moving or while being hit. Both those other skills root you in place while channelling.

He’s saying his static isn’t building up charges at all. His screenshot shows his character in the run animation with no static charges.

That’s very strange-- I’ve tried to reproduce this issue internally and could not. When you say you removed the skills, did you remove them from your bar, despecialize from them, or both? Either way I would expect a game restart to fix it.

I did more playing around and I think I found the issue, though i’m not sure if its intended or not. It looks like static only builds charges when it is assigned to a skill slot. I didn’t think this would need to be the case as you are passively building charges when moving or getting hit. I understand not doing so if there is no specialization on skill, but I assumed specialization would activate the charge build up. Especially if also using the “High Voltage” node.

Therefore, not sure if bug or if this is the intended use of the skill. Sorry for the confusion and it took me far too long to test that.

Ohhh I should have noticed that in the screenshot. I see the logic for not requiring it to be on the bar, but this is working as intended.

Sounds good, that is what I would have assumed if I figured out what I did wrong sooner. Thanks!
