They've replaced 90% of the "faster start of ES recharge" with "increased recharge rate".

That... sounds like energy shield users are getting pretty dramatically punished. Like, "now you have to wait five fucking seconds after getting ambushed by a leap slam mob before you're willing to try to do any more clearing" punished.

They're still experimenting on that, currently default ES recharge delay in beta is 3 seconds and players are mostly thrilled by the change. It's the same as having 100% faster start of recharge in vanilla game so it's pretty useful for builds that don't get constantly pummeled and certain enemies are more challenging because you have to keep the pressure before their shield starts to recharge.

What, really? Fuck yes. ES has needed it a long time coming.

i hear you, but the good news is that you get 3 more passive points from quests now with act4, so youll end up in exactly the same place at the same level after the patch.

Good to hear. I wish GGG could add more interesting options than just added fodder in form of pure stat nodes but it is probably needed to keep the balance.

I also have a feeling that Regret Orbs will be highly sought after in 2.0. I can only imagine people will rebuild their chars after reset by avoiding jewelry paths and only when they acquire solid gems they will respec into the jewel path.
