Mechanics
This passive skill prevents your current life from being changed. This can be both a benefit and a detriment combined with other mechanics:
- #% of Damage taken bypasses Energy Shield: The damage you would have taken to life that bypasses energy shield is ignored until energy shield is fully depleted, effectively granting an equivalent less damage taken modifier. For example, if 30% of damage bypassed energy shield, you would take 30% less damage until energy shield is fully depleted. If a single hit deals enough damage to fully deplete energy shield, the remainder of the damage is fully taken to life.
- Life costs: The character is unable to use any skill or effect that requires you to spend or sacrifice life in order to occur, such as using
