Keystone
Keystones are unique and powerful passive skill nodes that significantly impact the way a character is played.
Maximum Chance to Dodge Spell Hits is 75% [1]
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.

10% more maximum Life
Skills Cost Life instead of Mana
Skills Reserve Life instead of Mana [1]
Blood Magic (often referred to as BM) is a keystone passive skill that converts all mana cost and reservation to use life instead. It also gives you more maximum life and removes your mana.
Mechanics
Skills that reserve mana will reserve life and skills that cost mana will cost life instead. Mods that affect mana cost and mana reservation such as X% increased/reduced Mana Cost of Skills, + X to Total Mana Cost of Skills and X% increased/reduced Mana Reservation Efficiency of Skills have no effect on the life cost and life reservation of skills. It is not possible to commit suicide through Blood Magic.
If taken with Eldritch Battery, your energy shield will continue to protect mana but will not be spent.
While you have Blood Magic, you are neither at full mana nor low mana.[1]
Taking this keystone along with Sanguimancy from Warlock of the Mists will provide the 50% increased Life Reservation Efficiency of Skills stat, but otherwise impart no additional benefit.
Location
Blood Magic is located in the bottom left corner of the tree.

Chaos Inoculation (often referred to as CI) is a keystone passive skill that grants immunity to chaos damage, but sets maximum life to 1.
Although the character must survive entirely on energy shield instead of life, immunity to chaos damage can be a significant advantage.
Interactions
The chance and duration of both being stunned and receiving an elemental status ailments is based on your maximum life before CI takes effect[1]. Maximum Life modifiers such as increased maximum Life, reduced maximum Life, etc. apply to the life before CI is applied. Since this base life value is then overwritten by CI, the only advantage life modifiers provide to a CI character is the reduction on stun and status ailment thresholds.
Low life conditions will never take effect while CI is enabled. Effects such as Pain Attunement and On Low Life mods on gear will not activate. For these effects, you must have 50% or less of your current maximum life. Chaos Inoculation sets your maximum life to 1. The exception to this is if you have

).
Chaos resistance reduction/penetration
Since CI grants a flat-out immunity to chaos damage, effects that reduce or penetrate chaos resistance (i.e. Occultist's Void Beacon) have no effect against CI.[2]
Being Poisoned
Being Immune to Chaos Damage means that Chaos Damage cannot inflict poison (to the entity immune to chaos damage), although physical damage can still inflict poison.
CI builds
It is generally best to wait until you have high energy shield before taking CI because it's much easier to survive on life at lower levels. Don't be afraid to take life passive skills for survivability while leveling up, since you can remove them later.
Characters with CI are usually more susceptible to stun and status ailments because of their low base life. Rather than taking otherwise useless life nodes as described above, Stun can be mitigated by obtaining Stun Immunity (e.g Vile Bastion), stacking Chance to Avoid Stuns, or through niche items such as

Chaos Inoculation works well with some other keystone passives, such as:
- Ghost Reaver converts sources of life leech into energy shield leech, at the cost of disabling ES recharge.
- Zealot's Oath applies life regeneration to energy shield. The amount recovered is based on the same % of your max ES, rather than your max life. Flat regeneration recovers the same amount. Note that "regeneration" does not include life flasks, as they are just "Recovery".
- Divine Shield can provide a large amount of regeneration to builds that also stack large amounts of Armour and Physical Damage Reduction.
- Ghost Dance can instantly recover ES on builds that have a decent amount of Evasion, at the cost of capping your energy shield by your evasion rating.
- Wicked Ward can be used by builds relying on recharge, sacrificing some recharge rate for uninterruptible recharge.
Location
Chaos Inoculation is located on the northeast edge of the skill tree.

Conduit is a keystone passive skill that shares charges with nearby party members only.
More precisely, whenever the player gains an endurance charge, a frenzy charge or a power charge, each party member within a radius of 120 units will also gain one charge of the same type.[1] Minions cannot gain charges this way: They are nearby allies, not party members.
Location
Conduit is located in the center of the skill tree, on the east side of the Scion starting area.

Exposure inflicted this way applies -25% to Resistances [1]
Elemental Equilibrium (often referred to as EE) is a keystone passive skill. Whenever you deal any elemental damage with a hit, it applies fire, cold, or lightning exposure of the element(s) that the hit didn't deal the element of, and removes the exposure type of the element(s) that did.
Mechanics
Only a hit that deals damage will apply the respective exposure. Blocked hits or damage over time will not trigger Elemental Equilibrium.
If you hit an enemy with two different elements at the same time it will apply exposure to the third element and remove the other two element exposure. A hit carrying all three elements types will not apply exposure and will remove all of them.[1]
Trap, Mine, and Totem skills trigger EE as they use your skills with your offensive stats, which includes keystones and passives. Minions do not trigger EE as they do not use your skills or stats, and are only affected by keystones and passives that explicitly mention minions.[2] One way to trigger EE via minions is socketing the minion gem into a Malachai's Artifice.
Multiple attacks that hit simultaneously are still processed independently, so the first hit that is processed will trigger EE that affects the other hits.[3]
Example uses
As long as you are careful to not use the same element twice in a row, EE can greatly boost damage. Try to use a combination of skills that alternate between two elements, or cycles through all three:
- Use a damage over time or minion skill as your primary source of damage and use a secondary skill with a different element to proc EE. (Ex.

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

. This is not a conversion mechanic; life leech modifiers will not apply to leech altered by this keystone. Only modifiers to ES leech apply.[1]
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.

Iron Grip is a keystone passive skill that causes the physical damage bonus to melee attacks from strength to apply to projectile attacks as well.
Taking Iron Grip causes strength to grant 1% increased physical projectile attack damage per 5 points of strength, alongside the melee physical damage bonus it already gives.
Effects that modify strength's effect on melee physical damage will also affect the bonus to physical projectile attack damage granted by Iron Grip. For example,

Iron Reflexes is a keystone passive skill that removes all evasion rating and converts it to armour. It removes the bonus to evasion rating that dexterity inherently grants.
Mechanics
Conversion Formulae
The final Armour value is calculated with the following formula: [1][2]
Final Armour = Flat AR * (1 + [total #% increased/reduced AR]) * (More/Less AR modifiers) + Flat EV * (1 + [total #% increased/reduced AR or EV]) * (More/Less AR modifiers) * (More/Less EV modifiers)
where:
- EV = "Evasion Rating"
- AR = "Armour"
- Flat EV = Sum of Evasion Rating from Equipped Items (e.g. Body Armour, Shield) and other sources of additional Evasion Rating (e.g. Grace)
- Flat AR = Sum of Armour from Equipped Items (e.g. Body Armour, Shield) and other sources of additional Evasion Rating (e.g. Determination)
- More/Less modifiers from different sources (e.g. Determination vs Basalt Flask) are multiplicative with each other.
Modifiers which grant #% increased Evasion Rating and Armour (e.g. Bravery) or #% increased Global Defences (e.g. 
Skin of the LoyalSkin of the Loyal

This item can be transformed with a Blessing of Chayula
) only apply to base values one time. For example, taking Bravery would increase flat ER by 24%, which would then be converted directly into the final Armour. It does not then apply 24% increased Armour, as the flat ER was already affected by that modifier.
When factoring modifiers which apply to specific equipment slots such as While a Pinnacle Atlas Boss is in your Presence, (67-70)% increased Armour from Equipped Helmet and GlovesArmourFromHelmetGlovesEldritchImplicitPinnaclePresence6
Eater of Worlds
While a Pinnacle Atlas Boss is in your Presence, (67-70)% increased Armour from Equipped Helmet and Gloves, each source of flat AR/EV should be calculated separately, then summed at the end. These modifiers are additive with other increases and reductions.

Minion Instability is a keystone passive that causes minions to explode when reduced to low life, dealing 33% of their maximum life as fire secondary damage to nearby enemies.
Mechanics and Interactions
The explosion is an area hit from the minion, dealing secondary damage. The base explosion radius is 2.2 metres.[1] Its base critical strike chance is 0%.
Minions must be reduced to Low Life to explode. Anything that causes a minion to die without ever having low life (e.g. dying in 1 hit, replacement, expiring duration) will not cause an explosion. Minions that are set to low life when spawned, like

used by a low life summoner, will explode instantly.
Modifiers
Minions do not have the player's global stats; player stats have to be specific for minions or allies to directly affect the explosion.[2] Stats from auras will continue to apply to nearby minions as they explode.[3]
Because support gems affect minions globally, the explosion can be modified by support gems despite not being a skill. The support gem needs to be compatible with the minion skill, and the support gem's stats need to be compatible with the explosion's damage. For example:

Necromantic Aegis is a keystone passive skill that removes all bonuses provided by modifiers on equipped shields from the character and imparts those bonuses onto minions instead.
Specifics
The character will no longer benefit from any modifiers on equipped shields including implicit modifiers and explicit modifiers, local defences such as armour rating, and chance to block, and will instead apply these stats to minions.
The player character is still considered as holding a shield and will be affected by the hidden movement speed penalty based on the shield's basetype. The buff from

Passive skills that increase stats from shields (e.g. #% increased Energy Shield from Equipped Shield will have no effect. Passive skills that provide a bonus while holding a shield, such as the elemental resistances granted by Sanctuary, will still benefit the character.[1]
Increased Rarity of Items found and Increased Quantity of Items found on shields only have an effect when applied to the player, and these bonuses will be rendered useless if granted to minions.[2]
Gems and Abyssal Jewels socketed in equipped shields are still usable and are not inherited by minions.
Most Crucible Passives work with Necromantic Aegis. Crucible Passives that allocate notable passive skills have no effect as minions do not have access to your passive tree.[3]
Location
Necromantic Aegis is located in the centre of the tree, to the northwest of the Scion's starting area.

25% less Evasion Rating against Melee Attacks [1]
Arrow Dancing (formerly known as Arrow Dodging and later Ondar's Guile) is a keystone passive skill that increases the chance to evade projectile attacks, while decreasing the chance to evade melee attacks.
Specifics
Projectile attacks include almost all arrows, spines, or spikes that are launched. Arrow Dancing has no effect on spell projectiles, as spells cannot be evaded. Community resources such as poedb.tw can be helpful in determining which monster attacks are classified as projectile or melee.
Location
Arrow Dancing is located at the southeast edge of the tree.

Point Blank is a keystone passive skill that scales the damage of projectile attacks with respect to the distance the projectile has travelled, increasing damage initially then reducing damage after covering a long distance.
Mechanics
The projectile has a maximum damage increase of 30% more near the start of its travel (up to 10 units), then linearly scales down to no damage change at 35 units, then linearly scales down again to the maximum damage penalty of 30% less at 120 units.[1][2][3]
It is important to note that damage scaling is done with respect to the total distance the projectile has travelled, not its current distance from the point of origin.[4] If the projectile changes direction—as is the case with

Never deal Critical Strikes [1]
Resolute Technique (often referred to as RT) is a keystone passive skill that will raise your chance to hit to 100%, ignoring all accuracy and evasion stats of the attacker and defender respectively, at the cost of preventing you from dealing critical strikes.

Spells inherently can't be evaded, so they don't benefit from Resolute Technique, but it still takes away their ability to crit.
Attack hits can still be blocked, even with Resolute Technique.

Resolute Technique is located on the west edge of the tree, across the Disemboweling passive cluster.

Cannot be Stunned [1]
Unwavering Stance is a keystone passive skill that grants guaranteed stun avoidance, but prevents the character from evading attacks.
Mechanics
Unwavering Stance sets chance to avoid being stunned to 100% and sets evasion chance to 0%, which means enemies will always hit regardless of their accuracy rating or chance to hit.
Unwavering Stance does not modify evasion rating. This is significant mainly because of the Iron Reflexes keystone, which converts evasion rating to armour. It is therefore possible to utilize the effects of both keystones simultaneously. (Ghost Dance is also technically not affected.)
Location
Unwavering Stance is located on the bottom left side of the tree, on the intersection between the Marauder, Duelist, and Scion paths.

Maximum total Life Recovery per second from Leech is doubled
You have no Life Regeneration [1]
Vaal Pact is a keystone passive skill that grants doubled life leech speed and maximum life leech rate, but causes life regeneration to have no effect.
Mechanics
Interaction with Zealot's Oath
The Zealot's Oath keystone causes life regeneration to restore energy shield instead of life. Vaal Pact applies before Zealot's Oath however; so taking it along with Zealot's Oath will not grant the character any energy shield regeneration. This will not prevent energy shield from recharging as it normally does. Additionally, it does not prevent other sources of energy shield regeneration, such as 
Shavronne's RevelationShavronne's Revelation
Moonstone RingRequires Level 30+(15-25) to maximum Energy Shield+(60-75) to Intelligence
Right ring slot: You cannot Regenerate Mana
Right ring slot: Regenerate 6% of Energy Shield per second
Right ring slot: +250 to maximum Mana
Left ring slot: You cannot Recharge or Regenerate Energy Shield
Left ring slot: Regenerate 40 Mana per Second
Left ring slot: +250 to maximum Energy Shield"Shavronne held Sanity in her right
hand and Revelation in her left.
Brutus chose the left hand."
- Kadavrus, Surgeon to the Umbra
, as it is specifically energy shield regeneration and not life regeneration converted by Zealot's Oath.
Similarly, Pious Path will not recover any energy shield from life regeneration as it becomes disabled by Vaal Pact.
Location
Vaal Pact is located on the middle layer of the south side, on the east side of the Duelist's area.

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.[1] 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 [2] Life Regeneration Rate modifiers also do not apply.
This will not cause life flasks to recover ES as they give life recovery.[3]
If the character also has Vaal Pact, it takes priority and will not regenerate ES.[4]
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.[5]
Location
Zealot's Oath is a standalone keystone located in the northwest side of the tree, close to the Templar's area.

Stat removal
- Stat: The stat in question.
- Removed: The stat is removed by this keystone. Keystones that source or require this stat cease to function.
- Sourced: The stat is removed by this keystone, but its value is used to determine the keystone's effect. Other keystones that source or require this stat cease to give their benefit. If this stat is removed or sourced by another keystone, this keystone ceases to give its benefit.
- Targeted: The stat relies on or is improved by this keystone. If this stat is removed or sourced by another keystone, this keystone ceases to give its benefit.
In short, keystones in the Removed and Sourced columns block the benefits of other keystones in the Sourced and Targeted columns for that stat. Only stats for which there is a potential conflict have been listed.
