Ghost reaver and ghost shrouds remove all ES when entering a zone

When allocating Ghost Reaver and Ghost Dance keystones while using Grace aura as the only source of evasion, every time when entering a map, delve, hideout or other zone Energy Shield resets to 37 (base evasion) with almost no way to recover it to the full amount allowed by Grace aura (in my case 7848). If the area has fast ranged monsters or effects such as Tempests or Burning Ground, moving and exiting Grace period is instant death. It also makes re-entering many boss encounters such as maven invitations impossible or at least extremely dangerous.

With no access to recharge (Ghost reaver) and very limited options for ES regen, this (unintended?) interaction is very hard to work around. Even if allocating 2% ES regen mastery node, or having other investments in regeneration, it still takes a while waiting in grace period before it is safe to move.

Having same issue. A fix would be nice.
having the same issue even with out using grace.
Same here
Same issue ghost reaver and ghost dance cause me to have near 0 ES sitting in Hideout or when entering a map. Also sitting on 15K evasion in Hideout.

Here is what this mess looks like. I am almost dead just sitting in my HO with all the auras. XD

Isn't this the behavior as advertised?

Just that your character is initialized on zone entry, but Grace and any other actives isn't loaded until you do something else/after grace period. Will the use of Supreme Decadence help for now?

no, when you load into new zones your energy shield is full unless you use Ghost Dance or Immortal Ambition. Immortal Ambition explicitly says "Energy Shield starts at zero".

Ghost Dance states "Cannot Recover Energy Shield to above Evasion Rating" which should not affect the value your energy shield starts at when entering new zones because it is not a form of recovery.

Ghost dance has a hidden modifier or a bug or whatever you want to call it that causes your energy shield start to be equal to your evasion if evasion is lower than energy shield.

GGG should at least put this behaviour into the description of ghost dance because it is very surprising when you allocate the nodes and did not know about this. If you want to play with ghost dance and and gost reaver you will need to counter this behaviour with your build somehow and you should be able to tell that you have to by reading the nodes.
