Wizards with Rods need to be able to use melee attack

So with a Staff you can use Secondary Attack in order to use a plain-ole melee whack. This is great for things like moving fireballs as a pyromancer, or hitting your ice wall to create ice shards as a cryomancer.

But you can’t do the same thing with rods. Which is ridiculous because the class attribute for Cryomancers is +ice damage WITH A ROD. Yet we can’t even use the secondary effect of our own skills while wielding one!?

Please add melee whack to Rods for Wizards so we may use our skills to their full capacity.

you can use (arde)daggers for that

Pretty sure lowby cryomancers like me won’t have access to arde daggers for a long while.

you just have to deal with it for a while

It actually kinda weird, cause on Rods it is listed [Strike] type of attack but doing nothing to Ice Wall when you hit it. So its either a bug in description or in mechanics.

Only wizards have ranged attacks for rods and staves. All other classes melee. If you really want to hit something, you can always just weapon swap. There’s even a shortcut for it, alt+z.

You will still use range attack even with a sword.

Are you serious? Lol. That’s kinda sad then.
