Prayer for Rain doesnt appear to work?

Was testing with a low level enemy. Get hit and take some ES damage, walk away to let reacharge start, and get hit again. Expected behavior is ES continues to recharge, does not.

+1, seems to be bugged

+ 1, tested a bunch, not working.

I just switched to CI using Prayers for Rain. It is not working.

Recent (within 4 seconds of start of recharge) damage interrupts energy shield recharge. I initially thought the problem was my own spellcasting as a result of the Event Horizon node, but after unallocating it, the problem persists when taking damage from enemies.

still not working

+1
Was excited to drop it on my Sorc, but that quickly vanished when I realized the recharge mod did nothing.

yeah seems like it doesnt work. feels bad, the respec took all my gold.

+1

Is this getting fixed anytime soon? Its been 7 days, its a simple mechanic copied from poe1 how hard can it be to fix, Wicked ward has been in the game for 10 years and doesn't work any differently in poe2.

Monk ES leech is useless,
Uninterrupted ES recharge is bugged,
There's 0 life regen sources for Zealot's Oath or Ligurium,
...

Building ES is completely useless, I have fully respeced 3 times and now I'm out of options to make it playable.

Come on guys..... its not even a niche thing, energy shield is the most basic mechanic in the game.

EA, yes, I get it. But this is just depressing, wasting my time for nothing.

Prioritizing balancing over bug fixing to try and create longevity in EA is a terrible mentality bound to fail.

(still doesn't seem to work)
