Theoretical maximum amount of ES

So I got bored the other day and decided to try to figure out just what is the theoretical maximum amount of energy shield it would ever be possible to have. Note, I have no idea how the game handles the rounding, so yea, enjoy the long decimals. This may not be perfectly accurate. Apologies if it looks a bit rough or skips steps or isn't fully labeled, or if you think you found a mistake.

So I came up with this totally unrealistic max level build. (99 from level, 7*3 from quests (Dweller, Fairgraves, Western forest, Bandits, Sewers, Pietyx2) for 120 total)


I calculated the following max es values:

Chest: Vaal Regalia: 175es
176% es
+145 es
= 883.2 * 1.2 = 1,059.84 es + 50 int

Gloves: Sorcerer Gloves: 61es = 300.84
176%
+48es
= 300.84 * 1.2 = 361.008 es + 50 int

Boots: Sorcerer Boots: 61es = 300.84
176%
+48 es
= 300.84 * 1.2 = 361.008 es + 50 int

Helm: Hubris Circlet: 100es
176%
+72 es
= 474.72 * 1.2 = 569.664 es + 50 int

Shield: Titanium Spirit Shield: 101es
176%
+145 es
= 678.96 * 1.2 = 814.752 es + 50 int

Belt:
Perfect Auxium 90 es

Amy:
30 int base
+50 int
+32 all stats
+22% es
+47 es

Rings:
2x Perandus Signet: 6% int per unique (4 uniques, 2x rings, belt, wand) 6 * 4 = 24%

Weapon:
Moonsorrow: +10 int

Totaling:
372 int
22% increased es
47 + 90 + 814.752 + 569.664 + 361.008 + 361.008 + 1,059.84 = 3,303.272 + 215 es from Lv20 Discipline = 3,518.272 base es
6% increased int

From the passive tree (and starting stats):
720 int
282% increased es
extra 150% es from shield
12% more es

So, this would yield...
1092 * 1.24 = 1,354.08 / 5 = 270.816 increased es
282 + 22 + 270.816 = 574.816 * 1.12 = 643.79392 es multiplier
3,518.272 * 7.4379392 = 26168.6932250624 es
814.752 * 1.5 = 1,222.128
1,222.128 + 26168.6932250624 = 27,390.8212250624 final es

27k.. Thats not high enough, mmm, lets add 5x unique flasks... 9 uniques, 9 * 6 = 54%

1092 * 1.54 = 1,681.68 / 5 = 336.336 increased es
282 + 22 + 336.336 = 640.336 * 1.12 = 717.17632 es multiplier
3,518.272 * 8.1717632 = 28,750.4856571904 es
814.752 * 1.5 = 1,222.128
1,222.128 + 28750.4856571904 = 29,972.6136571904 final es

Dangit still not 30k, Im sure its possible somehow...

So now I'm wondering... What about with gear that exists right now...

I didn't do too much searching, most of the indexers are not too fun to play with, maybe they will get better in the future, or the site itself will expand to allowing you to search for gear better. I'm sure there is better gear out there for most of these slots.

Chest 1049es 50int
Helm 548 es
Boots 279 es 40 int
Gloves 277es 48int
Shield 774es
Amy 20 int 45 es 22% es
Belt 89es
Rings: 2x perandus signet = 6% increased int per unique (2x rings, belt, wand) 4 * 6 = 24%
Weapon: Moonsorrow 10 int


Totaling
168 int
3,061 es
22% es

90 points


282% energy shield
135% extra shields on shield
12% more es
390 int

==============================

558 int * 1.24 = 691.92 / 5 = 138.384 increased es
282 + 22 + 138.384 = 442.384 * 1.12 = 495.47008 increased es
3,061 * 5.9547008 = 18,227.3391488
774 * 1.35 = 1,044.9
18,227.3391488 + 1,044.9 = 19,272.2391488 final es

Could add a few unique flasks, but that seems decent enough.
Almost 20k es, and at only lv70ish, I wonder if you could stack that much life. Hmmm.

Note: He managed to get higher.
Second Note: They also did hp, and it's not as much as es but a lot closer than what you might expect!

OP seems to forget a major point.. who has 400+ exalts or 3-4 mirrors for a shield, helm, chest, etc?

Also your characters dps is going to be so gimped you wont be able to kill anything.

The guy in the reddit article could get 15,000+ hp. Probably really expensive as well.

Thanks, I asked around about max es threads and someone said there was one on reddit, but I wasn't able to find it. Just realized I didn't add discipline into the last calculation, lol.

you can have energy shield with a claw unique

you miss that

Essentia Sanguis, noted, thank you for pointing that out. That should push the max over 30k, I knew it was possible somehow.

-edit, actually I need to look into Ephemeral Edge also, rofl.

Read again.

you can use an "Ephimeral Edge Dusk Blade" to get another 50% increased maximum energy shield.
That would be better than moonsorrow's 10 int.

This claws http://pathofexile.gamepedia.com/Essentia_Sanguis?
+(30-40) to maximum Energy Shield

I'd better take this sword http://pathofexile.gamepedia.com/Ephemeral_Edge
(it has (40-50)% Increased Maximum Energy Shield)

(changing moonsorrow to Ephemeral Edge) - Thanks to Sammael for pointing out better unique weapon choices making me take a 2nd look.

From gear:

47 + 90 + 814.752 + 569.664 + 361.008 + 361.008 + 1,059.84 = 3,303.272 + 215 es from Lv20 Discipline = 3,518.272 base es

1092 * 1.54 = 1,681.68 / 5 = 336.336 increased es
282 + 72 + 336.336 = 690.336 * 1.12 = 773.17632% es
3,518.272 * 8.7317632 = 30,720.7179771904
814.752 * 1.5 = 1,222.128 (from shield bonus)
30,720.7179771904 + 1,222.128 = 31,942.8459771904 final es

I don't think the shield energy shield/defence bonus gets multiplied by infused shield, but I'm not sure, I didn't have CI when I tested it.

Any other suggestions?

I decided to do HP too...
