Zealoth's oath aply's life regeneration ability's to ES, note that u get % life regeneration based of ure ES not ure life pool.

Ah, I have mainly played shadow/witch to this point so I'm far more familiar with the right side of the skill tree than the left side.

No ideas on how Zealot's Oath works then, if it wants you to be out of combat or what.

Realize that the only part of the equation you can affect in the GIFT is the audience. Remove the audience and the trolls merely rant at the air.

I don't really understand the mechanics of the game, so if this is an easy answer and a dumb question I apologize.

What makes stacking ES any different from stacking life? For example, is 2000 life and 2000 ES the same as 4000 life? Does damage apply to ES differently than it does to life? Do they regenerate differently?

I'm just having trouble seeing distinguishing features.


If he has 2000 life and 2000 ES he will not have problems seeing the differences. You're feeding the trolls.
Uh, hardly. He said "for example" not "I have". Critical reading skills are crucial.

you get 50% of not being affected by status effect if you got ES>0.. so its actually pretty good to use ES with that in mind...


Only the chance to become stunned is halved. Other status effects still happen at the same rate. They just don't last as long with a high HP pool.
zealots works always as long as you have hidden life reg

with CI keystone you are chaos immune (pretty nice) chaos resi is so expensive in HC :(

the status effect some ppl refer too can be canceled with eye of chayula and dream fragments

few real downsides are

less armor close to 0 in pure es ci gear makes the vaal fight really tricky (shit my pants:) )
no emergency heal
puncture is something you have to avoid at all cost

big + is you can have good survivalbility with only a few defensive nodes
