Energy shield is a form of defence that acts as an additional hit point pool on top of life. Along with armour and evasion, energy shield is one of the three defence types that can implicitly appear on equipment. Unlike life, energy shield will recharge naturally after the character has not taken any damage for 2 seconds.
Mana is spent to activate skills, and is shown on the bottom right of the screen as a blue orb. It recovers slowly over time, but can be refilled quickly with flasks.
Normally, Energy shield will automatically begin to recharge if the character does not take any damage for a certain period of time. By default, the delay period for energy shield to begin to recharge is 2 seconds. This can be reduced with #% faster start of Energy Shield Recharge modifiers from passive skills and equipment.
Let r be the sum of #% faster start of Energy Shield Recharge modifiers (as a percentage). The delay period in seconds is given by:
Delary Period = 200 / (100 + r)
For example, having 100% faster start of Energy Shield Recharge results in a delay period of 1 second.
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.
