Eternal Youth

Hello everyone.

Can someone explain me what doers this means? :

The Eternal Youth Keystone Passive Skill no longer causes your Life Flasks to recover Energy Shield instead, and now causes your Life Flasks to have 50% less recovery.

So, it will only be 50% effective or it will not recover ES at all anymore?

I didnt understand that either just because if it removes ES effect why would someone pick that up if it is 50% less effective now lol

Eternal Youth, in 2.x, had two effects:
-Life Recharges instead of Energy Shield.
-Life Recovery from Flasks applies to energy Shield instead.

Eternal Youth, in 3.x, will have the following two effects:
-Life Recharges instead of Energy Shield
-50% less Recovery from Life Flasks

In practice, it allows life-based builds to benefit from ES recharge, but it halves the usefulness of your healing flasks instead. As well as giving you no native way to recharge Energy Shield, if you use it. You would need to invest in ES leech or ES regeneration to be able to regain any Energy Shield.

In this case, since we will not be able to use flask to gain ES back, how we are supposed to leech ES?

Welp, so much for heavy drinker builds. Was nice knowing ya.
