Yes, unless something weird happens that removes some of your energy shield.

" Weird? You mean guaranteed. Sanctuary of Thought is right behind Divine Guidance, which causes 10% of damage from hits to be removed from mana first. Edit: However, would it be possible to maintain 0 maximum energy shield given the Blood Magic keystone? Or would the 25% of mana as ES be calculated similar to Chaos Inoculation. Stuns and such are based on your life prior to CI, is what I mean. Last edited by Natharias#4684 on Nov 28, 2016, 6:33:04 PM

" Having 0/0 energy shield doesnt count as being on full ES, so wouldnt work. Last edited by Grimmhammer#4711 on Nov 28, 2016, 6:41:46 PM

" Being on 0/0 frenzy charges sure counts as being on full frenzy charges. Why not mana or energy shield? |
|
" No, 0/0 frenzy charges counts as being at maximum frenzy charges, not at full frenzy charges. While the difference may seem pedantic in terms of language, PoE is very specific when it comes to the wording of it's terminology. |

"In that case, yes, this would require you to not get hit in order to maintain it. Which makes it more difficult. | |

And nobody actually asked WHAT will your skills Cost if you take Eldritch Battery + Blood Magic?
Blood Magic says that your skills will Cost Life instead of Mana and Eldritch Battery says they will spend Energy Shield before Mana? So, who wins here? (not talking about Reservation, only Cost of skills). Would it be transformed into "Spend Energy shield instead of Life for Cost of skills" after taking both?

If you are Blood Magic, none of your stuff costs mana. Therefore, Eldritch Battery has no reason to spend ES as you do not incur any mana costs.
