Temper Weapon doesn't work with talismans

"Talismans (Talismen?) are no longer martial weapons (according to their help text). They are still melee weapons though. I was surprised as well, when I couldn't use Wind Dancer."

They are still Martial weapons according to the Martial Weapons tool tip.

No melee weapon in their tooltip says if they are martial weapons or not. If talismans are not martial weapons, then almost every rune that says "martial weapon" shouldn't work with them, but they do. This is an injustice to bears! Let us temper the paws!

really want this to work as well, been going kitava bear/wyvern in HCSSF and would love to throw some points at that. I hate dead talents.

i hope they add volcano to fire spell on hit when they fix this stuff

Bump for visibility

"Updated the weapon requirement for the Smith of Kitava's Temper Weapon skill to explicitly state that it cannot be used with Talismans."

Wow, you guys really fucked this one up. Literally the opposite of what the description of the skill suggested. No one wanted this change. Way to ruin yet another interesting build opportunity.

Why would talismans be a Melee martial weapon at all if they cannot be used like this. Can you not figure out a way to make them work?

We dont even have swords yet...

Just wanted to share this in this thread as well, because GGG actually hates fun ideas and really doesn't care how you think the game should work.
