New Incursion helmet explicit
|
Not sure if this is in right section.
Was looking at the new helmet unique "Mask of the Spirit Drinker" and was curious about the new explicit "cannot gain energy shield" I was wondering what this will stop. Does this explicit block all methods of getting energy shield whether from recharge, regen and leech or just from gain sources such as ES gain on hit/kill? Last bumped on May 23, 2018, 5:14:18 PM

The way I interpret it (and I might be wrong on this), is that you will always be on 0/X ES, where the X is whatever your maximum would otherwise be. The X also determines your life regeneration. But you can't get energy shield in any way, including all methods you listed.

That's how I am reading it as well I just wanted some clarification as I can see some interesting uses for it if it does not stop all methods to get ES.

" By the wording alone it should mean "gain energy shield" which is a hit-mechanic. You can get those on jewels, which nobody uses. I bet it is the same as Soul Tether unique belt. The energy shield rechargs is probably deactivated when this item is equiped. ES equals zero as the text suggests. If those items don't work together GGG made another stupid trash unique. My take so far: -Recover x% Energy shield from Shaper/Elder chests should still work -ES-Leech from Soul-Tether at full life should still work Quite the strange mechanic, but I can see this being good with Slayer-leech/Scion builds. |

" This is my thinking exactly, I was wondering if it would interact fine with Soul Tether because it seem to be a very interesting interaction if it does work. It also seems that it can be upgraded by the use of a mechanic in the treasure temple my guess is by the text under the flavour text saying "This item can be transformed on the altar of sacrifice." which sounds like a system a bit like fated uniques. |

" Pretty sure this is how it will work. You could use it with Broken Faith though. Face it, all of your suggestions are worse than this idea:

" i just found another possible use: Blocking builds with Aegis Aurora. The line "replenish Energy shield by 2% of Armour when you Block" could really work with either Gladator, Guardian or any Scion mix. Maybe Necromancer with "Bone Offering" too. Aegis Aurora Champion Kite Shield - Quality: +20% Chance to Block: 32% Armour: (430 to 473) Energy Shield: (84 to 92) Requires Level 62, 85 Str, 85 Int ---------------------------------------- 3% reduced Movement Speed (Hidden) (10-20)% increased Elemental Damage with Attack Skills (80-100)% increased Armour and Energy Shield +10% to all Elemental Resistances +5% to maximum Cold Resistance +6% Chance to Block Replenishes Energy Shield by 2% of Armour when you Block Last edited by TheGoodBadWeird#7151 on May 14, 2018, 12:41:34 PM

" Nice find! I had a hunch that there was something that said "while on no Energy Shield", but I couldn't find it! |

Well this has been confirm there is no way to gain ES while using Mask of the Spirit Drinker
 Though Aegis Aurora would be worth testing as they might have missed that one. Broken Faith is still a good shield to use with this though. |
