Divine Shield

Keystone

Cannot Recover Energy Shield to above Armour
3% of Physical Damage prevented from Hits Recently is Regenerated as Energy Shield per second [1]

My faith is my shield.

Divine Shield is a keystone passive skill. It allows 3% of the player's total physical damage recently prevented from hits to be regenerated as energy shield per second. As a trade-off, players cannot recover energy shield to above their armour value.

Mechanics

The prevented damage is the difference between the calculated damage before mitigation and the damage taken after all steps of mitigation (see receiving damage for the order of operations) if that difference is positive, including not just physical damage reduction but also Block and Spell Suppression. If the user takes more damage than the amount calculated before mitigation, it will not count as "negative" prevented damage.

Reflected damage that is mitigated via reduced Reflected Damage taken modifiers contributes to prevented damage.

Shifting physical damage taken to another type does not count as preventing that damage – it reduces the amount of physical damage that can be prevented. If you receive a hit that deals 1000 physical damage, and have 80% of physical damage taken as fire damage, and have no physical damage reduction, you take 200 physical damage and prevent none of it.
