PoE Discipline Aura

Here's a breakdown of the Discipline aura in Path of Exile:

Effects:

  • Grants Energy Shield: You and nearby allies gain 60–217 additional Energy Shield (based on gem level).
  • Increases Energy Shield Recharge Rate: You and nearby allies gain 30% increased Energy Shield Recharge Rate.
  • Area of Effect: The aura's radius starts at 36 and can be further increased with quality and certain modifiers.

Key Points:

  • Defensive Staple for Energy Shield Builds: Discipline is a cornerstone of most Energy Shield-focused builds, providing both a base shield and faster recovery.
  • Intelligence Requirement: Ensure your character meets the Intelligence requirement to use the gem effectively.
  • Mana Reservation: Be mindful of its 35% Mana Reservation, as it can impact your available Mana for other skills.
  • Scaling: The gem's effectiveness scales with its level, quality, and your character's investment in Energy Shield.

Synergies and Strategies:

  • Energy Shield Stacking: Pair Discipline with other Energy Shield-boosting mechanics, such as Mind Over Matter, Energy Shield-based gear, and passive skills, to maximize its impact.
  • Mana Reservation Reduction: Consider using items or passives that reduce Mana Reservation to accommodate other auras or skills.
  • Quality: Increase the gem's quality to further enhance its Area of Effect, benefiting both you and your allies.

When to Use Discipline:

  • Energy Shield Builds: It's essential for builds relying on Energy Shield as their primary defense.
  • Intelligence-Based Builds: It complements Intelligence-focused characters that naturally have higher Energy Shield values.
  • Mana-Intensive Builds: The increased Energy Shield Recharge Rate can help mitigate Mana costs by absorbing damage that would otherwise drain Mana.

Overall, Discipline is a crucial defensive tool for Energy Shield builds in Path of Exile. Its ability to provide a substantial Energy Shield boost and accelerate recharge makes it a cornerstone for survival in many scenarios.
