Gameplay Help and Discussion - Energy shield and armor - Forum - Path of Exile

Anyone know if dmg reduction provided by armor and resistances apply to both energy shield and life the same way ? I always thought that armor didn't have any effect on energy shield. Only on life. But reading that sentence from the mechanics thread, I think I might have been wrong : " Hit & damage calculation order of effects There are a number of steps involved in deciding whether an attack hits or not and how much damage is done: * Evasion is checked first * If the attack is not evaded, then blocking is checked * If the attack is not blocked, then calculate damage reduction and resistances * Subtract damage from energy shield/life Anyone knows for sure ?

Yes, that is how it works, as described in the mechanics thread. It is essentially a life pool that regenerates itself. How Fusings Work: http://www.pathofexile.com/forum/view-thread/38585/page/3#p1451934 IGN: TheHammer	Posted by TehHammer on May 11, 2012, 2:38:03 PM Banned Quote this Post
From what I have seen it does affect ES, but I could be wrong. I'm sure someone has the mechanics for it somewhere. Guy above beat me to it lol.
