Keystone

50% of Non-Chaos Damage taken bypasses Energy Shield
Gain 15% of Maximum Life as Extra Maximum Energy Shield [1]

As true belief fades, the facade of faith grows, leaving you powerful but hollow.

Corrupted Soul is a keystone passive skill which causes 50% Non-Chaos Damage taken to bypass Energy Shield and grants 15% of Maximum Life as Extra Maximum Energy Shield.

Mechanics

50% of Non-Chaos Damage taken bypasses Energy Shield:

This is especially useful if you have a source of both Life and Energy Shield regeneration or recovery, e.g. the Inquisitor's Ascendancy Notable Pious Path which allows you to regenerate Life and Energy Shield simultaneously.

Example of a character with 3000 maximum Life and 3000 maximum Energy Shield:

• Without Corrupted Soul:
  • A monster hitting you for 1000 damage of any Non-Chaos Damage will reduce your Energy Shield by 1000.
  • Giving you the chance of recovering Energy Shield through any form of recovery but not Life because it is still full.
• With Corrupted Soul:
  • A monster hitting you for 1000 damage of any Non-Chaos Damage will reduce your Energy Shield by 500 and Life by 500.
  • Giving you the chance of recovering both Life and Energy Shield.

Gain 15% of Maximum Life as Extra Maximum Energy Shield:

Example of how much Energy Shield this modifier grants a character with 1000 base maximum Life, 200% increased maximum Life, and 120% increased maximum Energy Shield:

• $\color [rgb]{0.6392156862745098,0.5529411764705883,0.42745098039215684}1000\times \left({\frac {15}{100}}\right)\times \left(1+{\frac {200}{100}}+{\frac {120}{100}}\right)=630{\text{ maximum Energy Shield}}$
