Mana Potion Removing Energy Shield

Weapon Set 1 has all requirements needed to equip all gear. However, now that I have removed some nodes from set 2 (causing me to not have enough Int for my helmet which is my source of es) it removes all of my es on each use of my mana flask.

I found the explaination, and a way to work around it until GGG address the bug.


Each time you use a potion (I'd say any potion) the game recheck all your gear requirements (why ? IDK). It sees you don't have int to wear your helmet so it removes your ES, then realize your weapon set 1 allows you to, and start to recharge.


I have a similar bug which leads me to investigate and find that explaination : https://www.pathofexile.com/forum/post-reply/3656217

My workaround is to reallocate enough int to wear your helmet.
