Energy shield

Energy shield acts as an additional hit point pool on top of life. If you have any energy shield remaining when you take damage, the damage is subtracted from the energy shield first. Damage is only applied to life once all energy shield is depleted. The exception to this is chaos damage, which ignores energy shield.

Energy shield will recharge if you do not take any damage for a certain period of time. By default, the delay period is 6 seconds. This time can be reduced with Increased Energy Shield Cooldown Recovery modifiers from passive skills and equipment. The formula is delay = 600 / (100 + increased recovery%), so having a 100% modifier gives a delay of 3 seconds.

As long as you have greater than 0 energy shield, you have an implicit 50% chance to avoid being stunned.

Passives

There are passive skill nodes that grant additional energy shield or a combination of bonuses including energy shield. Other passives such as Energy Shield Delay decrease the cooldown delay for energy shield to be restored after taking damage.

Energy Shield

These passives increase maximum energy shield by a percentage.

Ghost Reaver

Keystone

Leech Energy Shield instead of Life
Maximum total Energy Shield Recovery per second from Leech is doubled
Cannot Recharge Energy Shield [1]

I will wear your ghost, and you will die twice: against me, and for me.

Ghost Reaver is a keystone passive skill that causes the player to leech energy shield instead of life, and doubles the maximum total recovery per second from energy shield leech, with the downside of disabling energy shield recharge.

Mechanics

Ghost Reaver makes any effect that would grant life leech grant ES leech instead, including non-standard sources of life leech, such as Machina MittsMachina Mitts
Murder MittsEvasion: (363-486)
Energy Shield: (75-98)Requires Level 67, 51 Dex, 51 Int(200-250)% increased Evasion and Energy Shield

Minions have (10-20)% increased maximum Life

+1 to maximum number of Raised Zombies per 500 Strength
With at least 1000 Strength, (1.5-2)% of Damage dealt by your Raised Zombies is Leeched to you as Life"The Emperor's trusted surgeons are not the only ones who practice the dark arts. Some of us are just more discreet.". This is not a conversion mechanic; life leech modifiers will not apply to leech altered by this keystone. Only modifiers to ES leech apply.

Maximum total Energy Shield Recovery per second refers to the cap on per-second recovery from all existing leech instances, and is normally 10% of maximum ES. Doubling it happens after increases or reductions.

Location

Ghost Reaver is located on the top-right side of the tree, away from the Shadow's starting area.

Place into an item socket connected to a socket containing the Skill Gem you wish to augment. Right click to remove from a socket., this does not change mana costs into energy shield costs. The player still pays a mana cost, and can modify that cost with mana cost modifiers.
• Energy shield recharge is not interrupted by energy shield spent to pay costs. Unless interrupted by damage to mana or energy shield, energy shield will continually recharge.
• Energy shield can only be spent for mana costs. Arcane Cloak will still spend mana, Apep's RageApep's Rage

  +(80-100) to maximum Mana
  Regenerate 2% of Energy Shield per second
  Chaos Damage is taken from Mana before LifeThe mind is a filter through which anarchy becomes order.
• Damage that bypasses energy shield, such as chaos damage, will still bypass energy shield.
• Damage to energy shield or mana will interrupt energy shield recharge.

Eldritch Battery also removes the inherent 50% chance to ignore stun while you have energy shield even when energy shield can still take damage by protecting mana.

Eldritch Battery is a standalone keystone located on the upper right edge of the skill tree.

Acrobatics

Keystone

Modifiers to Chance to Suppress Spell Damage instead apply to Chance to Dodge Spell Hits at 50% of their value
Maximum Chance to Dodge Spell Hits is 75% [1]

Light and unadorned, like wind on water, you will be.

Acrobatics is a keystone passive skill that causes spell suppression modifiers to grant spell dodge chance instead, at half their value. Spell dodge prevents spell hits, and is capped at 75%.

Mechanics

The chance to dodge rolls independently per spell hit; it is not entropy-based like evasion. Spell dodge occurs before block and other damage mitigation.

Location

Acrobatics lies on the far right side of the skill tree across the Ranger's starting area.

Version history

Version	Changes
3.16.0	Acrobatics has been redesigned. It no longer has any of its old properties, but now changes any modifiers to Spell Suppression into Spell Dodge at 50% of its value. The intention is that Acrobatics is the only source in the entire game for Spell Dodge, for characters who would like to benefit from that playstyle still. Spell Dodge is still capped at 75%, and the Keystone Passive will specifically mention this.
3.2.0	Now grants 30% less Energy Shield, down from 50% less Energy Shield.
1.3.0	Acrobatics now has a 30% less Block Chance modifier.
1.0.0	Acrobatics and Phase Acrobatics have been increased to providing 30% dodge chance.
0.11.0	Acrobatics now halves your Energy Shield and Armour, rather than removing them entirely.
0.9.8c	Acrobatics no longer removes the physical damage reduction granted by Endurance Charges.
0.9.4	Introduced to the game. 20% chance to dodge all enemy attacks. Removes all armour. Removes all energy shield.

Zealot's Oath

Keystone

Life Regeneration is applied to Energy Shield instead [1]

Tear my flesh and splinter my bones. You will never break my spirit.

Zealot's Oath is a keystone passive skill that applies life regeneration to energy shield instead of life.

Mechanics

Percentage based life regeneration becomes percentage based ES regeneration based on maximum ES. Percentage based life regeneration can be gained from several unique items and passive skills. ES regen gained this way will only be scaled by ES Recovery Rate, not Life Recovery Rate Life Regeneration Rate modifiers also do not apply.

This will not cause life flasks to recover ES as they give life recovery.

If the character also has Vaal Pact, it takes priority and will not regenerate ES.

If the character also has Eldritch Battery, life regeneration will apply to ES.

Zealot's Oath is incompatible with Pious Path. Zealot's Oath makes Life Regeneration apply as Energy Shield Regeneration instead - since it is no longer Life Regeneration, effects that interact specifically with Life Regeneration, including the one on Pious Path, have no effect.

Location

Zealot's Oath is a standalone keystone located in the northwest side of the tree, close to the Templar's area.
