Ghost Reaver is a keystone passive skill. It converts sources of life leech to energy shield leech. It also doubles your maximum total Recovery per Second for Energy Shield Leech. However, it reduces your energy shield recharge rate by 50%.
|
Energy shield recharge rate is a form of recovery and is by default:
Energy shield will stop recharging if the character takes damage. This recharge rate can be increased with #% increased Energy Shield Recharge Rate modifiers.
Previously, PoE had no ES leech, but Ghost Reaver applied life leech to ES (in a specific way). That is no longer the case.
ES leech exists distinct from life leech, and is it’s own thing. Ghost Reaver now works by making any effect that would give you life leech give you ES leech instead. Because this is ES Leech and not Life Leech, no modifiers that apply to Life Leech will affect it. Only modifiers to ES leech will affect it.
Vaal Pact only affects life leech, and thus has no interaction with ES leech.
The unique Soul Tether has a different mechanic, which is also changed. It lets you leech life, but while you’re on full life, your life leech effects are not removed from you, and those life leech effects will recover energy shield rather than life. They are still life leech effects, not ES leech, and thus are scaled based on life, and affected by life leech modfiiers, not ES leech modifiers. This is so that item can continue to fulfill it’s role of letting hybrid ES/life builds use life leech to recover both statuses.
Energy Leech Support is a support gem which causes the supported skill to leech energy shield. It also grants the skill more damage while leeching energy shield or while at full energy shield.
Ghost Reaver is located on the top right side of the tree, out from the Shadow’s starting area.

These unique items have the Ghost Reaver modifier, which provides the same effect as this keystone. Taking the keystone in addition to equipping one of these items will impart no additional benefit.
