Energy shield is useless!

Got to admit...
Went ES this league. Not in a 'ascendancy' that makes it viable.
It SOO sucks. I'm at a point, I'm pondering how many EX to totally re gear and re talent.

Even keeping a ES chest, and maybe another item or 2. Without life rolls on them...
Going Life & a icing of Armor, would make my char WAYYY more OP...

Vaal Skills getting there souls removed, makes Vaal Disc not a option.

Extra 'cost' of going for faster start nodes, disc aura, arc vision.
5 or 6 Jewels with ES...

Elder in Red Maps/Minotaur just spray me & I can't see even with infinite EX getting it to 'be okish'.
It's really only swap entire gear/build. Same stuff, but with life.

Which is sad, cause excluding boss's with 'degen' and high phys. It's been enjoyable 'different way of play' instead of just slamming a life flask. Or 'out leech & afk'
