theories on how to make ES to be unchanged or get ignore entirely

86

so EB (Eldritch Battery) in PoE2 doesn't work as it just turn ES into bonus mana.

So I wanna see if anybody have any suggestion of theories on how to get 100% of all damage bypass ES or have ES ignore.

Doubt you can get 100% passthrough but that node with atziris disdain is gonna be crazy. 25% less damage at all times if you are pretty much full ES build. Not sure what other sources there are.

Doesn't that ascendency have a 10% damage penetrates ES? Combined with 25% Atziri Disdain for 35%.

Lich looks fucking stacked in so pumped for it

By the way, with the node before that, if you have CI this means 10% less damage received, right?

Because the node before says „damage bypasses 10% of your ES“. But these 10% of dmg run into nothing, if your life can’t change.

doesn't this mean that blood mages have infinite 'mana' as long as you have ES?

Black doubt robe makes you immune to DOT effects

Perhaps there's an item or passive that does something similar to what those infernalist nodes do - percentage of damage taken is taken as fire - but you instead make that be damage taken as bleed/poison since those ignore ES right?

You guys are over complicating things. Use divine flesh + eternal life and call it a day. Divine flesh: https://poe2db.tw/us/Divine_Flesh

Not likely that 100% bypass will exist, but as people noted 35% damage bypass is still crazy for mitigation. Then you work in some sustain with Ghost stance and overflow and that should be enough.

It is worth noting it is also a protection against Bleeding damage. Its not confirmed yet, but devs said they wanted bleed to be the "anty-mage" thing, so it should bypass energy shield (unlike like it is now, aka CI gives immunity against bleed).

Another user mentioned using blood magic keystone with this to have basically no skill costs.

Since you would pay life instead of mana but your life value can't change... free skills.

Seems cracked.

you guys are theorycrafting something pointless. This game is kill instant or die. It’s all about pumping enough damage and not getting 1 shot. There is no node or combination of nodes that’ll make you immune lol. You need to be a sponge that can absorb 1 shots
