Our upcoming Beta for the Fall of Oriath is intended to allow players to test Path of Exile's balance as it undergoes a significant number of changes. Among these changes are those that are coming to Energy Shield and other defences as part of our overall review of game balance. The team has written a Development Manifesto about these changes and what you can expect.

For your benefit:
TLDR:
Now this is a story all about how ES got nerfed right into the ground And I'd like to take a minute Just sit right there I'll tell you how I made our Int defences totally fair At the top of the tree, it was nerfed and raised On niche builds was where it spent most of its days Not for min-maxin', just trying to be cool If you didn't like life, CI was your tool 'Til Vaal Pact and GR let it put life to shame Started making trouble in the metagame It cakewalked the fights and the team got scared We said, "You're getting a big rework 'til the meta's repaired." I ground down the values on all of the gear Had to buff some base types to keep it all fair All to nerf what you could get from the best rare Then I whipped up new life mods That all armour could share We dialed down some keystones, giving them all a flaw We tweaked crafted mods and we added some more So that's all the changes But don't you be a hater You'll try it all out and we'll tweak it in Beta Balance & Design Last edited by Rory on May 17, 2017, 7:46:20 PM

I think vaal pact nerf is justified, but I think an extremely draconian ghost reaver nerf would be too much. Vaal pact is completely outrageously powerful, but ghost reaver by itself as is feels pretty middle of the road. I played my ES char this league without VP for several weeks and the absolute insane unlimited power just isn't there. I would like to see build diversity increased, not just totally tipped to the other side. I am coming at this from the perspective of a 4 year life build loyalist who's only made 2 ES builds and played them firmly as alts.
