The point is that for a character with a high enough energy shield, but low life, chaos damage is the only thing they really need to worry about. A high ES low life caster is dead anyway from other damage if they lose all their shield in most situations, so there's not much change there. But chaos damage would bypass the shield and kill them very quickly, and this passive prevents that, as well as increasing their shield to boot.

It may turn out to be not good enough, but I think you're undervaluing it a bit there.



Thanks for the clear-up. I just posted that I'm new to the game, so I wasn't clear about the use. That makes a lot more sense, and in that case, the passive doesn't seem too underpowered. Time may tell, but thanks for clearing that up.
By the way, I just started the beta today. My game was pretty slow, since my graphics card is old. I'm currently running on a Nvidia 7025. Does anyone have a suggestion of a better graphics card that I could get for reasonably cheap? I want a card that could (likely) play Diablo III on medium settings that I could buy for (ideally) $75-$125 range. Does anyone know if such a card exists, and if so, what it's called and where I could buy one? If so, that would be great! Thanks.
Thanks to all responses about chaos damage. Considering that chaos damage is generally uncommon, I think that the keystone passive is probably too weak. I would be willing to trade all of my life for immunity to a common damage source, like, say, all ranged damage or something, but the way it is, it seems too weak. Perhaps changing the life penalty to half life instead of reduction to 1 would be a more workable idea.
