Zealot's Oath

I have significant doubts that this keystone will influence flasks, but obviously I have not seen evidence one way or the other.

It certainly wont do a think to leech because that's stepping on the toes of ghost reaver.
Not that anyone said it would.

Its influence on CI is yet to be seen. As it stands I am scared for anyone who even thinks about using CI because chaos over time maps will literally prevent them from participating.
Also viper strike will essentially be a death sentence.

I'm going to make some inferences here...

So for players who plan to take CI and Zealot's Oath,

1) what happens to the ES time delay? Will the ES still regenerate when you're taking hits? Is this negated? Do you still need to duck out of combat then?

2) Once you leave combat, with ES regenerates as is now, the ES regen rate is very very quick, allowing you to get back into combat relatively quickly. In OB, will this ES regen rate going to be drastically reduced come OB? it appears so otherwise why take ZO then?

I have an shortrange templar caster and my current regen is 4% without really good gear (except a good weapon and shield but also no regen on gear and no regen totem yet)

My build is pretty offensive (aoe+crit+dmg) but I am capable to tank in a lot of situations in all merciless lvls

Getting a high regeneration rate is not so difficult using skills and items - even without spending too much passives...

ES with regeneration could make my build OP in terms of defence

My level 66 witch hasn't even taken CI yet, but I can reach pain attunement. This certainly will enhance the survivability of low life builds, esp when paired with Soul Reaver. But I am still unsure about my concerns as stated in my previous post.

I'd guess that zealot won't affect the normal regen of ES. If you have passive life regen combined with zealot, it'll keep ticking even when you take hits. The proper recharge won't start until you've been out of combat long enough (and out of combat, they'd stack)

But (as said on a post before too) I'm guessing that zealot will take the life regen based on your base life. Assuming you'd have 1.5% life regen, zealot and CI, that'd mean you regen 1.5% of 1HP on your ES every second, which probably rounds to 0.

CI is still supposed to give total immunity to chaos damage, they just removed the 50% more ES.

Passive Skill Balance:

• Chaos Inoculation now grants no additional energy shield bonus. Its complete immunity to chaos damage, synergy with Blood Rage and other skill combos are deemed sufficient upside to counteract the life penalty.

One alpha member's thoughts on ZO right here.

Let me get the math straight since I haven't found the answer.

Let's say I have 10% life regen, 200 life, 100 ES

Do I get 20 ES per second regen (10% of 200 life)
Or do I get 10 ES per second regen (10% of 100 ES)

Basically, does the regen calculate before or after converting to ES?

Either way, it's still nothing on Ghost Reaver.

Should be this.
