Question RE new Inquisitor Pious Path

So the node says it causes life regeneration to also recover energy shield.

I took this to be the same as having Zealots, but after plugging it into POB, it literally just adds the same amount of life regeneration onto ES regen...

Is this just a POB calculation error, or is that how this node is now supposed to work? Because that's insane if its supposed to work that way!

i don't think that what he means, while the zealot's oath changes the %life regen to %es regen, the new node provides a flat ES regen equal to the flat life regeneration rate after calculated.

i think it's works that way because the old version also gives you flat es regen, the new one does the same thing just a lot better.

If it works the way it seems in POB, it doubles your life regeneration essentially, which is actually pretty nuts. On a build that only has a small amount of regen on the tree + conc ground, i can get ~1500 combined regen... that's without even trying to bulk regen up!
I THINK (or more accurately, hope) it just adds ES regen equal to your life regen, so you get ES regen that effectively scales off your life pool rather than ES. I'm building presuming this is the case, I'm gonna effectively be a life build with limited ES investment, and just allow my ES to exist as a small buffer that more importantly doubles my regen while I'm taking damage.

If it scales off your total ES my planned setup will be kinda shitty.
I can see it 2 way to use that extra regain.

Either as a fast regain buffer that you invest or not a bit into es for extra EHp or as a way to enable RF.

For the RF version (Or not) Taking doryani timeless jewel let you split RF damage between your es and life letting you regain your ES at the cost of some total regain. (As it increase es pool by quite a bit)
Zealot's Oath means it scales from your total ES instead of your total Life pool.

This means that the Consecrated Ground's default effect of providing 6% Life regen, becomes 6% ES regen. It also means that Pious Path, as far as regen goes, no longer functions.

This is because Pious Path says "causes Life regen to also recover Energy Shield". Because Zealot's Oath changes Life regen to ES regen, you no longer have any Life regen for Pious Path to apply to ES regen, effectively nullifying that part of the passive.

Reading as written, I would assume that only the basic 6% life regen from the consecrated ground effect you create will also recover that amount ES.

With 5k HP that would be 300 life regen and 300 ES regen. Having like additional 20% life regen from other sources should only add to the life regen as usual, ES regen stays 300.
I don't think stacking life regen from other sources will also work here, that would be insane.

It's still a very strong node :)

I don't think that's correct. It's written:
Consecrated ground you create causes life regeneration to also regenerate energy shield for you and allies

If it were how you think it is, it'd be written:
Life regeneration from consecrated ground you create also applies to energy shield for you and allies

It's all life regeneration, including the regeneration from consecrated ground. So long as you create the consecrated ground.
Hmm, indeed. Seems like that node is insane =)
