Palms strikes forces quarterstaff

If you have a shield equipped, and nothing in main hand, palm strikes allows you to keep shield set on while striking. But if you have a melee weapon in main hand, like a mace, the game will force switching to quarterstaff, delaying the strike by the weapon swap timer.
If you force using Shield set in settings, it works while having an empty main hand. Palms strikes doesn't switch you to quarterstaff anymore. But if you do that while using a mace, palm strikes are not usable anymore.

Is that intended by design ? I don't think so, it looks like an oversight to me
And it is an issue. Cause i'd like to use mace skills while using shield in weapon set without wasting weapon swap timer every time i palm strike... it doesn't make sense. The game disarms your quarterstaff to hit with bare fist, why wouldn't it do it with another weapon ?

Hope it get fixed :)

Peace !

Edit : ... then i see the +7% crit chance... cannot be evaded... okkkkkk, reverse engineering... i get it hahahahaha, probably it is finally intended hahahahaa, ye it's either quarterstaff, either unarmed, got it, i'll pass on maces skills then... awesome to palm with shield on :)

Edit 2 : and theeeeeeen i found out that martial tempo works on palm LMAO, def got it
