Ghost Dance is a persistentbuffskill. It periodically grants a stack of Ghost Shroud. Upon taking a hit, a stack of Ghost Shroud is consumed to recover energy shield based on your Evasion Rating.
The character must be hit to lose a Ghost Shroud and to recover energy shield. Defensive mechanics that prevent a hit from occurring such as evasion also prevents the loss of Ghost Shrouds.
Block also prevents loss of Ghost Shrouds. Taking damage from blocked hits (e.g. through Glancing Blows) does not change this.
Self-hits will cause a Ghost Shroud to be lost normally.
Energy shield is recovered before damage is taken from the hit. It will consume a charge even if your energy shield is full and no energy shield is recovered.
