While (Not) On Full Energy Shield

Do these affects trigger without an Energy Shield?

Take Sion/Trickster for example.

"

20% more chance to Evade while on full Energy Shield
20% increased Damage while not on full Energy Shield

If you are running 100% EVA, I would assume neither of these would proc. Am I wrong?

Im not 100% sure, but I would asume that while on full energy shield could actualy work when you have none... 100% of 0 is 0.. why not.

We already know for sure that "on full energy shield" does *not* proc while your max ES is 0. The wording here is consistent--if it says While on Full, then the max cannot be 0. If it says While at Maximum (e.g. while at maximum frenzy charges, with 3 of that -1 frenzy charge max jewel), then it procs when the max is 0.

As for the Not on Full Energy Shield, I'm not sure. I actually would expect it to proc because I would expect it to be coded as a literal negation of "are you on full energy shield". But Mark has surprised me with bizarre rules in the PoE code in the past, so don't count on it.

I have a Scion with the trickster node and no flat ES on the tree.

Whirling blades normally has 111.42 tooltip damage per hit. If I take off her ES gear, whirling blades has 119.17 damage per hit.
When I put it back on, whirling blades has 119.17 dps until it recharges. Then it goes down to 111.42 again.

So it looks like it is working fine. You get permanent 20% increased damage when on 0/0 energy shield. So 0/0 counts as 'not on full energy shield'.

Note that 20% increased damage is probably not worth building around, but it is a nice perk.

Yay, it works the sane way!

Awesome! Thank you for testing this.
