Why can't a Gunwitch use Channel?
Picked this up out of a Shard pack the other day, and only just noticed that my Gunwitch can't use it. anyone know why?

I'm guess its because the way its coded it is not compatible with Gunwitch or its just oversight from the Devs. Assume the former since its been like that for a long time now.

That is rather unfortunate if true, Channel would be perfect for the Gunwitch as well. instead we're currently forced to clog up our weapon shard slots to really pump out our abilities like the class seems designed to do.

She doesn't really need it anyways. It would be a nice addition but pointless considering she has 2 shards for returning mana when she Crits with Basic Attack or Snipe

True those do work out well, the issue is that her shards are generally poorly distributed between armor pieces. Its a big reason why the Ice Shard Build is so good as its simply the ONLY ability to not be tied into the Weapon via its shards. meanwhile Blunder Broom Buster and Scatter Sweep are required to use up one or more Shards in the already very cramped Weapon slots as that is where all her Broompower/Cooldown sustaining shards are.. and her Gloves/Boots are left fairly empty right now as well.

The abyss lord can't use Haunting, Beacon of the storm, etc because his primary doesn't count as such. Kinda sucks that they didn't sort all that out.

The abyss Lord can absolutely use haunting. I currently use it. Uncharged secondaries build stacks for it and count as primary attacks for the purpose of all shards.

Yeah he can us it but not as effectively as other characters.
He can use Beacon of the storm too but he has to either hammer his secondary or tap the primary when other characters just have to hold it down. My point being its pretty broken.
I guess I should have said his primary doesn't work correctly.

The Gunwitch can't use channel because she doesn't use mana. She uses broom power. All characters that use a unique ability resource cannot use the mana generating shards (channel being one of them)
Odd, it says Ability Resource though the characters allowed to use it matches up with that.. thats kinda disappointing.
