Energy shield is a form of defence that acts as an additional hit point pool on top of life.
Mechanics
Damage mitigation
If the character has any energy shield remaining when damage is taken, that damage is inflicted on 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.
Recharging
Energy shield will automatically begin to recharge if the character does not take any damage for a certain period of time. With Blood Magic, spending life instead of mana to use a skill counts as taking damage. By default, the delay period for energy shield to begin to recharge is 6 seconds. This can be reduced with Increased Energy Shield Cooldown Recovery modifiers from passive skills and equipment.
Let r be the sum of increased cooldown recovery modifiers. The delay period in seconds is given by:
600 / (100 + r)
For example, having 100% increased cooldown recovery results in a delay period of 3 seconds. Increasing cooldown recovery has sharply diminishing returns and the delay period cannot be eliminated entirely.
By default, energy shield recharges at a rate equal to a third of the character's maximum energy shield per second. Energy shield will stop recharging when it reaches maximum or if the character takes damage.
Stun avoidance
While the character has any energy shield remaining, it grants an additional 50% chance to avoid being stunned.
Skills
The Discipline aura increases energy shield of the character and nearby allies.
Passive skills
There are passive skills that grant energy shield bonuses.
Energy shield
These passive skills grant increased maximum energy shield, more maximum energy shield, or additional base maximum energy shield.
Energy shield on shields
These passive skills grant increased energy shield from equipped shields.
Energy shield delay
These passive skills grant faster start of energy shield recharge.
Miscellany
These passive skills are related to energy shield, but do not fit into any other category.
