Charge

Charge into battle and attack an enemy.

Although

Charge is after

Smite on the Skill Tree,

Charge does not require a shield. You can

Charge without a shield with a two-handed weapon.

You can also use

Charge on the Left Action Button while having Auras active at the same time. When maxed,

Charge offers more damage than

Sacrifice. Consider getting Mana Stealing Items when using

Charge to offset its mana cost.

You can only use

Charge on a Monster if you are already not in melee range. This is the one drawback when compared to

Sacrifice. You will have to back away or select another monster that is further away.

May be used to flee from fights or even dodge (outrun) projectiles (such as Diablo's Fire Nova or

Oblivion Knight's

Bone Spirit). May also be used to (very) rapidly traverse land.

Sometimes

Charge skill may stun yourself (you cannot attack and move but can drink potions) when attacking. This may continue very long until to your death. You can fix this by pressing the "W" key to swap weapons which should exit you from the stun.
