Question: Does Resistance effect Energy Shield?

Hello.

I'm planning a new build, but i'm not certain about 1 thing. Tat is why i'm here.

Will i get decreased incoming spell dmg from mobs for stacking shield?

Or i will get 100% incoming dmg no matter what?
You'll take the same damage as you would if you were purely life based, just to your ES instead.

But resistance doesn't "affect" energy shield, it doesn't really make sense-

Resistances affects elemental damage taken.

Nothing to see here.

maybe we are misunderstanding eachother.

What i mean is...

Does the received elemental dmg get decreased by resistances when spells hit my Energy Shield?
i think what the guy responded said elemental resist = -elemental damage taken. that's all you need to know.

so... ya it applies to your energy shield, what the guy said is true it doesn't affect your shield it affects your damage taken.
Some noob always complaining... hoping things get better.
