Malice and Discipline are bugged?
These skills simply dont work, has anyone managed to actually use them?
They appear in my skill list (g) but not in my skill bar. I cannot assign them to any key. I can not drag and drop them from (g) like other spells they are not active by default, I checked that through multiple things like icons not showing up and stats not changing nor can they be activated by right click like some other skills.

So they just dont work?

Its not activating. I checked this through discipline the easiest way. Discipline gives you flat ES, but my ES did not change at all after equipping and unequpping the wand. And there was no way for me to activate the aura through skill slot or interaction with it in the Skill List.
Also there was no effect on my char either, I looked for that. I cannot 100% refute if there might be a super subtle effect on the feet, but there was not a clearly visible effect on my char for sure.

Thanks for trying to help though.

Discipline is an aura buff skill that grants allies in presence a percentage of their maximum mana added as energy shield. Discipline does not affect its user.

So because minions have no mana they dont get ES then (?), because there would still be the issue of the aura icon not showing up on the top of my screen (enabled that option in the settings) and the ES not showing up on my minions healthbars.

I may answere off the question but just to be sure.

Dis you know that aura in poe 2 work a little differently?

It doesn't require mana / mana reserve, but a new energy called "spirit".

Discipline require 60 if not mistaking, and assuming you have 60 free spirit point available, you have to press G and go to your actives gems page, and left (or right?) click on the aura icon to actually enable it.

I know you noted you can't right click but it may be a spirit available issue preventing it , or maybe a stats change in the meantime making the use of the gem impossible cause you lost inteligence in the meantime? :o

Ok thanks thats great. If you have done as you said then thats definitive proof its bugged. There is no way for me to interact with it as you know.

Heres what makes it defnitely bugged, if it works for you as you stated.
I have more than enough Int Dex Str, I checked those stat requirements.
I had other skills who required Spirit to activate and if i did not have enough they were marked with a slightly darkened icon and a red exclamation mark in the top right and when you hover over it, it says "you can activate by right clicking - you dont have enough spirit".

None of these things appear for me. I also checked to make enough room for spirit. I get no tooltip telling me I can activate this skill when hovering over nor do I get the activation effect when right clicking it nor do I get the icon that would tell me that I dont have enough spirit available to activate the skill.

It's literally just a blank uninteractable icon in the skill list (g).
If you have activated discipline the way you described then its definitely bugged. Then I should probably make a post in their forums too.

All Auras from scepters are always active since they cost no spirit, but they intentionally have no effect on the player.

Disciplin is good to increase the survivability of your minions but if you yourself want more energy shield then you need to use a focus.

you can only benefit from a weapon skill if you're actually holding it in your hand, you don't benefit from the other set.
