*To attack a target, it must be selected, within line of sight but outside [[melee]] range, and unobstructed. The [[Paladin (Diablo II)|Paladin]] will then charge toward the target and attack it when within melee range. Regardless of the success of the attack, eligible target will always be [[knockback|knocked back]], and when unobstructed this will normally place them outside melee range, allowing consecutive charges: these will normally be 8-9 frames apart, depending on charge speed, resulting in ~2.778 or 3.125 attacks per second.

*When the target '''is''' within melee range, or none is selected and any target is within melee range, using Charge will cost [[mana]] but only result in a standard Attack, with no +% Attack Rating and +% Damage from Charge. Charge will also cost mana when used while obstructed.

*Although Charge excels with a two-handed weapon, [[Smite]] can be a useful companion skill to allow targets within melee range to be knocked back out of it, allowing Charge to be used again.

*Base Charge speed of 22.5 yards per second is equivalent to running with '''+225%''' walk/run speed, giving the Paladin almost unrivaled movement speed. Charge can be used to travel quickly by selecting it on the right mouse button, or the left mouse button while holding down SHIFT, and '''not''' selecting a target: the Paladin will charge to the cursor as long as he is unobstructed and buttons are held down. However, if he is within melee range of any target before or after charging he will attack it without charging, so it is best to use the left mouse button and release SHIFT to allow him to run out of range and resume charging.
